The band had been forming for a few years around since in 1995 where AGIGI(BOB) & FAUZI has been drilling hole out to find clues on how far the grindcore should be well accepted in the underground scene,especially in their homeland ,Malaysia.Despite the enthusiasm and braveness,they both then set a long-term agreement to get a fully motivated band to play just 'GRINDCORE' music and they did it with some new members,SHAH is recruited to handle the vocal part while AIN(TANDUS) is helping on the bass.Year later, they began to get a new monicker by the name DAMOKLES,which is a name taken from one of the lyrics that can be found on the SODOM "Agent Orange'' album.Lack of equipment and the time,forcing the band to be stranded for nearly 2 years being nothing before SHAH & AIN forced themselves to leave the band in an hassle time. The payback has been lighted up in the mid 1998 where EPOL(LOGAM)happily joined in for the comeback and put on the bass responsibility.Getting started up all back was hard decision when the band could not still find any suitable vocal to fit in on some of their songs that been written during EPOL presence.Not until when they spotted TASYRIF from AMITHRAGATA that later joined in a year later.This line up has been created with fully discussion on the motive of how the band should goes with this ‘grindcore’ scenario,thus the result was the official debut demo in February 2001,”Never Mind The Bastards…Here’s Damokis’’ which is recorded using a 4-traxs Fostex multicorders.This is where the monicker too had been changed from ‘DAMOKLES’ to ‘DAMOKIS’.
Lot of feedbacks and maturity critics has been received throughout the released and shows has been set-up too around their hometown.Felt lacking of sound ability, the band one again begin searching for a new members to join in.MUHAIRI(RY) is spotted to handle the bass while EPOL was switched on guitar.Shows after shows followed and the people are getting to know the existence of DAMOKIS around.It showed the band seriousness while onstage and the grind music that they played which make the demo completey sold out in just two months of it released.Getting back in the studio in early 2002 is a newer recorded traxs for a split with a grind/death band,ARGON. Released by BROKEN NOISE RECORDS(Malaysia),the cd is printed in a limit of a 1000 copies.It was well sold in the underground scenes and the acceptance from all over the globe makes this look like a classis pair of rare material.DAMOKIS flew then to neighbouring countries like Indonesia and Sabah to play along with those local act and getting more known through medias,zines and a few radio stations that kept promoting them before the shows started.
Later 2002,the band is back again in the studio and this time they recorded a 4 unreleased trax for their 3" single cd entitled ,’Ashamed Of Your Act’ under OGRASMATRON PRODUCTION(Malaysia).This 4 trax is a surprise for the members itself as they had get what they wanted to do much in the past oversenses from sounds,arrangement and the input power to it,that been loaded to this single. More shows has been poundering and booked but doesn’t seem to fail them to record again.A 3-way split cd is again recorded in early 2003 with PERPETUAL(sabah) & RENGKONG TEKELUAQ(kedah).This cd is on the limited offer price and has been released in March 2003.Deal and offered from some independence labels had been in discussion but they will not put thing up jn the hassle situation and need more time on that.Feel free to get to know them and get their releases while out of print.You can of course surf on to their websites www.myspace.com/damokis or email Agigi through agigi_gore@hotmail.com.
