Demoniac were a New Zealand heavy metal band, formed in Wellington in 1993 by singer and bass player Lindsay Dawson, guitarist Sam Totman and drummer Steve Francis. They later moved to London, UK. Their unusual musical style has been labelled "blackened power metal". Three of the members went on to form DragonForce.
== History == The group began playing black metal in 1993, adhering to common genre aesthetics such as corpse paint and anti-Christian symbolism. Dawson and Totman adopted the stage names "Behemoth" and "Heimdall" respectively, and were later joined by unknown keyboardist The Magus and Head Like a Hole drummer Mark Hamill as "Adramolech". This line-up recorded Demoniac's first full-length album Prepare for War the following year.
