16 Oct 2007 // A review by CEOMong
Delayed for an hour due to a completely underwhelming crowd, Cage Demise stormed the stage and our eardrums in an explosive set filled with well-rehearsed riffs and backed up with some powerful lyrics.

This 3 piece ensemble took the stage and without any effing round launched hard out into a blistering set that rapidly gathered momentum. A solid base of chorus members got in nice and early, and rocked out completely.

Tight, solid riffs and an amazing amount of sound were pealed out, disrupted only by some minor technical issues at the start of the gig. At times vocals were a trifle eerie which completely transcended their sound to another level. Nice and heavy speed metal, I rate Cage Demise very highly and would definitely see them again.

Cage Demise, now a 4 piece metal band hailing from Palmerston North NZ. Formed in late 2006, Cage Demise have spent the last 4 years playing local shows, as well as gigs in Wellington, Napier, New Plymouth, Paraparaumu, Wanganui, Gisborne, and various other locations around the North Island. In the last 2 years Cage Demise has prepared and written over 15 original tracks and shared the stage with the likes of 8 Foot Sativa, Sinate, Wrath, Subtract, Set on End, Tainted, Human, Pariah, Gunt, Cell, Slave Cadaver and Australia's Beyond Terror Beyond Grace plus many more.

Influenced by the likes of Pantera, Lamb of God, Parkway Drive, Unearth, Killswitch Engage, Dethklok, As I lay Dying, Sinate, Wrath and 8 Foot Sativa. Cage Demise brings a mixture of Metal and Hardcore to create an original Heavy Metal sound, Backed up by Brutal stage presence and over 100 shows under our belts we know how to entertain a crowd, Cage Demise is set to rock out in a town near you soon.

'The Wick' EP was released in May 2008 which included 7 original tracks. 12 Months of shows around the north island followed by some well deserved practice time has seen a new breed of Cage Demise unleashed in 2009. With the addition of good friend Damo on bass and Ryan taking over the front man duties Cage Demise is set to unleash a new breed of metal in the next 12 months.
