Demilich was a death metal band from Finland, which formed in the early 1990s and consisted of vocalist/guitarist Antti Boman, guitarist Aki Hytonen, bassist Ville Koistenen and drummer Mikko Virnes.

Their lone album, 1993's Nespithe, featured what many considered an unconventional combination of intricate death metal riffs with extremely low, gurgled vocals. The album also gained recognition for its long, complicated song titles and bizarre, unconventional (for death metal) lyrics, which were written in code in the booklet. It has developed a cult following, particularly in the U.S., with some fans and critics proclaiming it one of the best technical death metal albums of all time.

Demilich played their last show on July 22, 2006.

The band's demo song, "Embalmed Beauty Sleep", was covered by the German death metal band Fleshcrawl. [1]
