This is the follow-up to Demeted‘s debut EP Lunacy, which earned them national recognition and saw the band push their songwriting to new heights, crafting more epic hooks and infectious melodies, while maintaining their overall aggression.
Demeted state: “The EP’s second single, ‘Naiad,’ was inspired from a legend about slavic Rusalka. The theme of this song revolves around water, just like the legendary creature. The character in the music video is a Rusalka that tries to lure the main character into water, where it is most powerful. This is a metaphor to people getting deceived, just to have a rude awakening when they discover they’ve been fooled. This song is very fun to play, as it contains a chorus that is good sing-along material and also has complicated riffs that keep the listener guessing what’s next.
“This EP is also the manifestation of our continuous evolution as a band. The sound has turned to a darker, more aggressive and mysterious tone, but the imagery was adjusted to resemble the offering’s main themes. Everything in the new release falls under the concept of displaying the forgotten and mysterious, indigenous culture of Poland from hundreds of years ago. The one specific element that clearly helps separate us from the rest of the bands in our genre is our sound flexibility. We can always find a way to create a catchy chorus, even if the song is really heavy and it would be impossible at the first glance.
“If there’s anything we can share with the world, it would be one thing – be proud of who you are, because your intrinsic value is immense. You just need to show it to the world and eventually there will be someone that’s going to cherish it.”
