So this Forgotten bands segment from a 2018 podcast with Lilitu main man Henry Derek Elis pretty much explains why they disappeared: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NobtBf592uk&t=1082s (TALKING PERSPECTIVES: Ep. No. 8 ) Also I can't stress enough The Devil is my Friend solo album is very much worth listening, I'm liking it more by the day. Not surprisingly some of the tracks in it are indeed old.

Just rediscovered how good Memorial actually is... Henry Derek Elis (aka Bonner) is on a solo career now and his 2018 LP is good stuff, the end album actually has songs that sounds like they could be scrapped Lilitu tracks. In 2008ish Lilitu was supposed to release a new album but it never happened. Always wondered why they disappeared so. The two non-album tracks that were released last were Maid of Desolation and By The Moor right? Did I miss any? Even the biography of Henry Derek Elis doesn't mention Lilitu. Pretty sad that such a good metal band just disappeared and almost seems to be brushed under.

Better instrumentally than Scar the Martyr (they share the same vocalist,) although they really fucking suck at promotion. Can't find the first 3 demos anywhere, had to find a download link for Memorial and took about 30 minutes to find a place I could buy The Earth Gods. If these guys marketted at all, they would be far better known. Those complaints aside, this band is fantastic...melodic death metal with gothic and prog influences. Makes them basically a proggier Before the Dawn with more rawness to the production from the black metal influence.

I wish these guys were still going :( Blood Promise never seemed to amount to much?

Man it sucks that these guys are so underrated and unheard of... Here's looking forward to the new album as a two man black metal outfit!

Really disappointed with the 'black metal' sound of the new demo, I seriously hate blastbeats,and the vocals...well...wtf! Compare that to the amazing emotional screams on Memorial....why can't they develop the Memorial sound, that's such an awesome album

Well that's why the elitists orgasm over Mastodon, because they make 'challenging' music.... >_> The closest bands to Mastodon that I reckon are awesome would be Taint and High On Fire. Taint are criminally 'underknown' in my opinion, when their songs break into a heavy groove, wow, great stuff.

Looking at the charts, their Memorial album is criminally underlistened...It's epic! Listen it.

Been a fan since the amazing Memorial, seems like they've now become Blood Promise? Not sure whether it's essentially the same band or not...hope so! New album out soon, it seems =D
