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 two part harmonies 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 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 kinds 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.

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 played with notable acts such as Unearth, Terror, Haste The Day, Remembering Never, the Acacia Strain, God Forbid, Bury Your Dead, August Burns Red, and Symphony in Peril. Recently signed to Strike First Records, Demise of Eros is sure to turn heads.
