"- Normality is Just Something You Are. There song lyrics are fucking good. I have tried to get a few friends hooked up on this band. But didnt really quite got hooked up on the vocals like I did. Apperantly The lead vocalist/Guitarist sent me a message through facebook on the last 4 unreleased rough demos they recorded in September 2009. Those songs arent from the last 7" they were suppose to make, my guess is these tracks were just rough demos of some kind for fun. I have also posted these tracks on the file below to download along with every complete release they did. My favorite releases must be the first 3 CDr demos they did, Something about them are pretty fucking cool. Even the artwork design are fucking cool, despite the awesome bands name. What got me interested hearing this band is there bands name. Its pretty fucking sexy if you ask me. I heard of a last show they did but from what I heard was that not to manny people went to see these guys one last time. Thats fucking bullshit. The band also went on to move to San diego I believe and release some stuff there.
First song I ever heard by this band
The band did 3 demo CDr's. Angelus Novus contains some tracks that were on No Hugging= No Learning Demo and also 4 new songs from Angelus. The politics of lonely coints 3 new tracks which one of them Gravity is a choice was later apperead in there 3 way split with Someplace to hide and Steeples.

Damezumari went on to release there first split in CD format and did a split with Someplace to hide and Steeples. This is where I first heard Damezumari (well took a listen to them from this release. I heard of them back in summer 2010. They released 6 tracks which Gravity is a choice came on this split but a newer version.

After the release of the 3 way split. The band did another split with Team fire charlie. 4 new jams came out on this split. Though it was recorded in May 2006-December 2006, this split was out in May 2007. It did took them about a long while for the release of this split. I am not so sure why. Maybe a small break during this time and focused on writting material

hope inscribed on handbills 7" was the last 7" they released it included 4 new songs, this is actually one of my favorite 7"s by this band. The 7" is pretty narrow shirt, but a good one. Title comes from a description of the opening to the plot of steinbeck's 'the grapes of wrath' - i have no idea whether the phrase appears in the actual book. it's meant to apply both to my own decision to move out west to california, from oklahoma, (the same journey of countless okies in the book's historical era) and to the genre of the zine, the individual instances of which can be both incredibly meaningful and entirely generic and cliche, usually at the same time. it's hard not to get cynical because of the overload of so many people writing in what is supposed to be a deeply personal and intimate form.

Whatever happened to there last 7"? well it never came out or was ever recorded. Though us fans do hope for the band to finish this last 7" one day. Though on there site it says the 7" was recorded in September 2009 Which I do not see it anywhere on the internet and is rather more mentioned than released.
Well here are all the releases this band did. Including there rough September 2009 demos. I sometimes believe these demos are from Blood Meridian but with different name titled. I wish to believe these were just rough demos that have nothing to do with the last 7". So that they can release this 7", it is mentioned its on 12" but I don't know what kind of band would release 4 tracks on a 12" vinyl; Might as well release it as a full length while your at it. The band also did 6 unreleased tracks that were suppose to come out on some of these releases and some compilations but never happened so therefore they are unreleased with no specific release. They did a Portraits of past cover song "Something less than intended" which I think they did a neat job on the cover song while the other 5 were originals but had there reasons why there unreleased.
You can check there web page, it has lyrics, meanings, info on there releases, etc. It is interesting to know what this band achieved.

Since they posted all there songs for free might as well I shouldve make a mediafire file of all the songs they did so that you wont have to download one track one at a time. Plus the file I uploaded has that September 2009 rough demos which I believe they are the Blood Meridian tracks
Forever they will live on broken up or not. Damezumari to me is like a band that will fly and lead on messaging our future children and so forth. This band will forever live on in my soul. The band finally did the last tour I believe in 2010 heres the whole footage I believe of there whole tour
Last shows in there summer tour 2010
