Demimonde

Add Demimonde to the list of weirdo Czech bands that emerged around the turn of the millennium, these six teenagers forming in 1996 with the goal of recording truly original music. The band's first recording was 1997's The Warrior's Poets (sometimes referred to as an album, but apparently it's better classified as a demo), and by 2000 they recorded their sole true album, Mutant Star. With two programmers in the lineup along with a self-description of "cosmic post-modern art", it comes as no surprise that this is a strange listen, with spacey keyboards, all sorts of vocal styles, complex riffing, and the like. Though far from a direct soundalike, for some reason Korova comes to mind when listening to these guys. Fans of the offbeat will likely find something fascinating here. Apparently they broke up a year or so after Mutant Star's release, and it appears that some members took that album name and ran with it, forming a new band called Mutant Star that explores other (presumably non-metal) arenas.
