7) Polish death/black metal band Dementia was formed in Cracow, in 1999 by the following +
members: Sentinel - guitar, Hoffman - guitar, Sinnus - keyboards and Dysh-L - vocals.
Nearly three years later, after completing the whole Dementia staff, the group managed to record its debut demo "Dreams Of Forgotten Time". This recording has immediately gathered numerous positive and enthusiastic reviews not only in Poland but also abroad. The band has played many gigs at that time, mostly in Cracow, and the audience have always responded greatly to our sound.
However, the initial success of our music and the promising prospects for the recording of a new LP with even more demented sound and faster, heavier, more perverse and energetic compositions (which were almost ready at that time) did not protect our formation from the crisis that has finally led to its complete collapse in the year 2003.
Many personal changes that Dementia has suffered have broken our lines at the moment when the new LP was at the stage of recording in a studio…
The end of year 2007 brings forth the idea of the band..s rebirth and comeback on the musical arena. Sinnus,Dysh-L and Sentinel have gathered their forces to construct new and rearrange the older compositions. Dementia is alive and kicking in its nearly original form. The work of these musicians has been crowned with ten compositions that are already waiting for being recorded at the band..s own Demented Home Studio.
We hope for finishing the recording session as soon as possible and then concentrate all our efforts on the promotion of this wickedly heavy and aggressive product, which, let us hope, will reanimate the metal scene that seems to be going through a serious crisis lately…
