About

In the beginning there were no Demilos. Then, suddenly, there was a massive explosion. All the matter of the universe burst forth in a giant froth of sub-atomic particles. After a few hundred million years, these particles coalesced into dark clouds of gas and finally massive stars. These first stars lived hard and died young. Just like true rockers. The hydrogen atoms of these first stars were fused into helium atoms. The helium was burned again into carbon ash. Eventually, from these carbon ashes a band was born.
