Episode 78: Viktor (co-vocalist and guitarist) of the Danish band Demersal interview
Demersal is a band that has never feared exploring emptiness and intense emotions through
their raw and aggressive sound and is set to share their most complete and diverse
examination yet with their self-titled new album.
Hailing from Odense and Copenhagen, Demersal weave squalls of sound and emotions that
reflect the intensity of frustration that increasingly sweeps the crumbling world. They draw
on the dispute of hardcore and anguish of screamo within their sound and align it to
blackened post rock contemplation to cast a richly intense but equally cathartic confrontation
as chaos and atmospheric intimation unite.
The band has toured extensively throughout Europe between their debut EP, ‘To Mend A
Yellow Wound’, in 2017 and their debut LP, ‘Less’, in 2020 and they shared the stage with
acts such as Portrayal Of Guilt, Pupil Slicer, LLNN, Eyes, Hexis and many others. They have
since released their second EP, 'Death Routines' (2021), as well as several split releases with
Regarding Ambiguity, Letterbombs, Vientre and Piet Onthel (2022). May 10th sees the release of the band’s self-titled sophomore full-length and their most adventurous, diverse
and impacting album yet.
The album explores the importance of care and the notion of being there for each other in
times of crises, as a way of dealing with a world in decay. It serves as a counterpoint to
modern capitalist ideals of self-sufficiency - the notion that one should be a strong individual
who’s able to stand up for oneself and one's own values alone - and it encourages to share
one’s vulnerability with caring people and to reach out when the world feels the most
incomprehensible.
I got to sit down with Viktor who is the co-vocalist and guitarist for Demersal where we talked about how the band got it's name, the recording process for the bands second album, 'Demersal', and more!
With great stories, chats and banter this is not one to be missed.
Avalible on all streaming platforms.
