Demise of Eros Bio

Yeah, yeah, we know. Metal and hardcore are tired terrains, and when they're put together, it's even more
formulaic and unchallenging. But the metal, hardcore and metalcore worlds you know don't contain Pittsburgh's
Demise Of Eros ... that is until' now. The relentless five-piece isn't content to sit back and write a breakdown
just because that's what's in. They're not comfortable rehashing the same guitar riffs every other band
has produced the past half decade. They don't have a desire to sing pretty just because that's what the labels
and executives and all the other people hawking merchandise think that's what people want to hear.

Demise Of Eros --- vocaltist Darren, guitarists John Erickson and Steve Stout, bassist Chris Urbanek
and drummer Joey Solak --- challenge your every preconceived notion, your every emotion, your every inhibition
with their blazing dual guitar lines, earth-stomping riffs, chest-bursting kick drum assaults and gasp-for-life
vocals. They also hope to challenge everything you ever thought about human emotion, with one getting
primary focus --- love. After all, that's where Demise Of Eros dreamed its name.

In Greek mythology, Eros is the god of romantic love. "This god can all too often serve as something like an
idol in peoples' lives," Darren said. "Eros leads us to believe that it is the ultimate good in human life. Sometimes
overtly, and almost always subconsciously, our culture praises this love as that which will bring ultimate happiness
and fulfillment. But the god becomes a demon if it doesn't submit to Love Himself. Romantic love is great,
but it has to keep its place in the scale of loves."

Therefore, Demise of Eros is not the desire for the abolition of romantic love. Rather, their music is the artistic
representation of what's possible if this idol is not allowed to keep us from the Love that can make us the
kind of people we are meant to be and the kids of people the worlds needs for change. While band members
don't seek to impose their intellectual will on anyone, they simply hope to open a new avenue of thinking.

Demise of Eros was born in late 2003 and began introducing audiences to their pulsating live shows early
the following year. Their followers, and there are many of them in the Pittsburgh area and all over the country,
slowly began to realize just how sharp, tight and devastating the band was becoming with each performance.
Just listen to the chatter at a live Demise of Eros show. A demo eventually was produced, followed by a five
song EP "Another Night of the Same Charade" in July 2005.

Along the way, Demise of Eros have been named one of the The Daily News' In Tune Magazine's "IT Bands"
of 2005, have been declared by WXDX FM 105.9 as "the best metal band ever to come out of Pittsburgh,"
and have shared stages with notable acts such as Terror, Haste The Day, Remembering Never, the Acacia Strain,
Dead Poetic, Anterrabae, and Symphony in Peril.

Go ahead and find out for yourself. Listen to the new EP, check their My Space page or, better yet, go to
one of their shows. We dare you to say you're not moved, that you don't want to be a part, that you can hold
yourself back from firing your fist through the air. Once you've been introduced to Demise of Eros you'll realize
you ... ahem ... love them.
