Demiricious is a death/thrash metal band from Indianapolis, Indiana, formed by Nate Olp, Scott Wilson, Ben Parrish, and Christopher Cruz. The band's name is a made-up word with no significant meaning. In 2005, they self-released a demo that caught the attention of Metal Blade Records. Their debut album, One (Hellbound), was recorded at Planet-Z Studios with Zeuss and released later that year. Following the release, they toured with Himsa in late 2006 and earned praise from thrash metal band Slayer. In 2007, their follow-up album, Two (Poverty), was released by Metal Blade Records. The band appeared on the bonus disc of Byzantine's Salvation DVD. After a long hiatus, Scott Wilson and Ben Parrish returned to record their third full-length album, III: Chaotic Lethal, which was released in 2022.
