We recently checked out the absolutely epic new album “The Chemical Bath “ on Epidemic Records from Italian post-hardcore/noise band Demikhov.

You can listen to “Chemical Bath “ on Spotify Here and on Apple Music Here

This record is more than just a record. “The Chemical Bath “ is a stunning audio and artistic statement. “The Chemical Bath “ is a carefully sculptured concept album in which the events of contemporary history intersect with the theoretical horizons of the scientific avant-garde.

In particular, the events of Russian scientists and cosmists, who at the beginning of the 20th century propagated the idea of a science destined to defeat death as the last enemy of humanity.

It was precisely the body of the first leader of the October Revolution, Lenin, that was made the object of such interests: through the 6 tracks, the record traces the events to which that body was subjected, from the first attempts at embalming, through the ultimate preservation treatment (the “chemical bath” that gives the record its title), to the construction of the imposing mausoleum harbinger of a religious cult still intact today.

We were introduced to “The Chemical Bath” with the release of the single “The Leader is Dead and Everyone is Grieving” We were completely mesmerized by the level of musicianship exhibited by Demikhov with this simply magnificent piece of music .

Other standout tracks from “The Chemical Bath” include “Science! Science! Science!” ,”Abrikosov” and the brilliant title track “The Chemical Bath “

The album was recorded at Produzioni Rumorose, the recording studio founded and run by the band itself, and mastered by James Plotkin (Isis, Sunn O))), Horseback, Khanate, etc.).

The album features the participation of Italian ambient and noise artist Mauro Diciocia (Torba), and American multi-instrumentalist and composer Monika Khot (Nordra, Zen Mother).

This was an incredible album performed by an equally incredible band . Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to this spectacular album.
