Diemonsterdie[1][2] is an American, Salt Lake City-based horror punk band, which was originally formed in 1995 as Casa Diablo. Their name is a reference to the 1965 horror movie of the same name starring Boris Karloff (which was very loosely based on the H. P. Lovecraft story "The Colour Out of Space").

History

Initially formed in 1995 as Casa Diablo by frontman Huey "Zero Delorean" Diablo and drummer Shane "Meatwhistle" Diablo, Casa Diablo released two albums before disbanding in 2000. Later in 2000, Delorean and Meatwhistle re-emerged as Diemonsterdie. Including the years as Casa Diablo, DMD has endured 17 years as a band, and to date have released eight full-length studio records, a limited edition split 7-inch vinyl (with fellow horror punks The Crimson Ghosts of Germany) and a live album. Reviews of DMD records have appeared in publications all over the world, most notably in the pages of Rue Morgue Magazine and on Rue Morgue Radio. The band's seventh album, Fall to Your Knees (2010), was received well and featured in a glowing review on Fear Net in November 2010.

During their long tenure, Diemonsterdie have shared the stage with fellow shock rock / horror punk / grave rock legends 45 Grave, The Misfits, GWAR, Type O Negative, Celtic Frost, Graves, Impaler, Lizzy Borden and Dr. Chud's X-Ward, among many others. Despite commanding a global audience of thousands and a loyal worldwide fan base, the band has never been signed to a major label. In 2003, DMD formed their own indie horror-punk label Doctor Cyclops Records, which has served as the US label not only for Diemonsterdie, but other top acts in the genre, such as the Crimson Ghosts (Germany), Left For Dead (USA), The Dead Next Door (Sweden), Others (USA) and The Nightshift (Sweden). Currently Dr. Cyclops provides digital distribution for all of these bands with exception of the Crimson Ghosts. In recent years, Dr. Cyclops Digital has also signed the up-and-coming German band, Jamey Rottencorpse and the Rising Dead. The band consists of four members; founding members, lead singer Zero Delorean and drummer Shane "Meatwhistle" Diablo and more recent additions, Mercury Rising as lead guitarist and Bassist Grimlock Morgue. Past members include guitarist Shadow Windhawk and bassist Stikki Nixx. In 2012, after drifting into a status of relative obscurity since the release of the band's seventh studio album, Fall to Your Knees, DMD have since made it back into the eye of the horror punk scene and on August 11, 2012, the band successfully crowd funded a $6,000 project to release October 21st, 1976 on 12-inch limited edition vinyl in 2013. The album will feature 13 unreleased tracks celebrating 13 years since Casa Diablo transformed into Diemonsterdie and officially began defining themselves as horror punk.

2012 has also seen the revival of Diemonsterdie's free fan club, the secret order of the Zealots of the Bloody Circle. In July 2012, the band elected Steven Godfrey, an American fan from PA, as the president of the Zealots of the Bloody Circle.

It was announced via the DMD Facebook page that on March 30, 2022, Zero Delorean had died while battling an undisclosed illness.[3]
