INDIAN DEATH-METAL ROYALTY DEMONSTEALER UNVEILS NEW SONG & VIDEO OFF HIS UPCOMING EP
"Opener 'This Crumbling Earth' has that sense of intensity that is somewhat of a trademark. It is relentless in its speed and attack, peppering blast-beats across a grandiose backdrop of frantic tech death riffs and blackened atmospheres." – The Killchain, UK

Sahil Makhija aka Demonstealer's latest EP titled 'And This Too Shall Pass' is all set for a worldwide release on the 11th December, 2020. Keeping with his tradition of releasing songs in a chronological order, Makhija today has unveiled a playthrough video for the first single from the EP titled, 'This Crumbling Earth' via YouTube. The song, a 6-minute barrage of piercing death metal music coupled with Makhija's distinguishing mix of harsh and clean vocals, is his take on the current state of the world and a reflection on his long-held misgivings over the human race. Makhija comments, "Every day the news gets more and more depressing, you see the horrible side of humans, how we're almost regressing as a species." This Crumbling Earth is now available to stream on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music and all other streaming platforms. [HERE]

The 4-song EP is being self-released with the help of a crowd-funding campaign that Makhija personally set up in July earlier this year. It was the COVID-19 pandemic and the resultant lockdown in the country that provided Makhija with a new perspective and the inspiration to write new music. And This Too Shall Pass sees Makhija return to his absolute roots. All music on And This Too Shall Pass has been written, played and recorded by Makhija — making it truly a solo effort — a feat he hasn't performed since his debut album released in 2008.
And This Too Shall Pass releases on 11th December, 2020. Pre-orders for the digital release are now available on the band's Bandcamp [HERE]. The EP will be available on all streaming services including YouTube, Spotify and Apple Music.

DEMONSTEALER'S NEW EP 'AND THIS TOO SHALL PASS' TO RELEASE ON 11 DEC 2020; REVEALS SAMPLER, ARTWORK AND TRACKLIST
Artwork by Adi Dechristianize
Mumbai-based death metal multi-instrumentalist, Sahil Makhija aka Demonstealer, is all set to release his next solo EP titled 'And This Too Shall Pass' on the 11th December, 2020. The 4-song EP is being self-released with the help of a crowd-funding campaign that Makhija personally set up in July earlier this year. Three years after The Last Reptilian Warrior, it was the COVID-19 pandemic and the resultant lockdown in the country that provided Makhija with a new perspective and the inspiration to write new music. And This Too Shall Pass sees Makhija return to his absolute roots. He adds, "I guess this is me at my most vulnerable. It's just me, no incredible musicians to back me up, just me putting my expression and feelings and thoughts into songs for the world to listen to". An extreme music old-timer Makhija has long been a crucial part of the Indian metal scene; be it founding the country's biggest extreme metal band (Demonic Resurrection), or starting up an independent record label (with releases by Behemoth, Dimmu Borgir) or setting up a premium recording studio dedicated to extreme metal – Makhija has had an enormous role in shaping the country's heavy music landscape. After a successful third album, which saw collaborations with Kévin Paradis (Benighted, Svart Crown), Romain Goulon (Necrophagist), Kerim Lechner (Septic Flesh, Decapitated) and David Diepold (Obscura) amongst others, Makhija has resurfaced with a brand new Demonstealer release.
The release was mixed and mastered at the esteemed Hertz Studio (Behemoth, Decapitated, Vader), a first for Makhija who is otherwise known to mix all the Demonstealer releases. The glorious artwork for the EP was provided by Indonesian artist Adi Dechristianize (Embalmer, Disgorge). All music on And This Too Shall Pass has been written, played and recorded by Makhija — making it truly a solo effort — a feat he hasn't performed since his debut album released in 2008.

DEMONSTEALER RELEASES KILLER NEW SONG & VIDEO OFF HIS UPCOMING EP
"Honestly, I could not find any flaw in this release as everything from the songwriting to playing, recording and packaging indicates pure professionalism and dedication." – Jupiter Variation.
Sahil Makhija aka Demonstealer has released a brand new song and video off of his upcoming EP titled, 'And This Too Shall Pass' via his Facebook. 'No God will save you' screams Makhija halfway into this scathing, blastbeat-heavy ripper that channels Makhija's abject hatred for religion and all the ill it's spawned. Makhija adds, "It refers to humanity and how we're almost like a cancer on this planet; how we've created God, religion and blinded the masses with these man made creations." A Festering Wound is now available to stream on Demonstealer's Facebook page [HERE] and YouTube [HERE].

Multi-instrumentalist and an extreme music old-timer, Sahil Makhija aka Demonstealer, has long been a crucial part of the Indian metal scene. Be it founding the country's biggest extreme metal band (Demonic Resurrection), or starting up an independent record label (with releases by Behemoth, Dimmu Borgir) or setting up a premium recording studio dedicated to extreme metal – Makhija has had an enormous role in shaping the country's heavy music landscape. After a successful third album, which saw collaborations with Kévin Paradis (Benighted, Svart Crown), Romain Goulon (Necrophagist), Kerim Lechner (Septicflesh, Decapitated) and David Diepold (Obscura) among others, Makhija has resurfaced with a brand new Demonstealer release.
Three years after The Last Reptilian Warrior, it was the COVID-19 pandemic (and the resultant lockdown in the country) that provided Makhija a new perspective and the inspiration to write new music. The release, a 4-song EP, sees Makhija return to his absolute roots. He adds, "I guess this is me at my most vulnerable. No incredible musicians to back me up, just me putting my expression and feelings and thoughts into songs for the world to listen to".
All music on this release has been written, played and recorded by Makhija — making it truly a solo effort — a feat he hasn't performed since his debut album released in 2008. Makhija finished tracking the drums, guitars, bass and vocals earlier this week at his own recording studio in Mumbai. The release is currently being mixed and mastered at the esteemed Hertz Studio (Behemoth, Decapitated, Vader), a first for Makhija who is otherwise known to mix all the Demonstealer releases.
The EP is being self-released with the help of a crowd-funding campaign that Makhija personally set up. The campaign went live on 14th July, 2020 and hit its goal within just 4 days. It continues to grow and garner the support of ardent Demonstealer fans from around the world. The EP is scheduled to release later this year or early 2021.
