Danish Death Metallers DEUS OTIOSUS have made their one and only demo "Death Lives Again" from 2007 available for free download at this location. The demo was created in 2005 – 2007 when DEUS OTIOSUS was still a studio project for Anders Bo Rasmussen and Henrik Engkjær. The latter also played in VICTIMIZER and CHURCH BIZARRE during those days. The drums were played by Lars Groth who was then active in CRUCIFIX – a Death Metal band that played a lot faster than DEUS OTIOSUS. Lars’ drumming style certainly put its mark on the songs, so they have their own distinct character compared to the bands later material. For more band info check out www.deus-otiosus.com
