Metamyther Unleashes the Demon Box: Industrial Mayhem in a Metal Triangle

If you think synths should behave themselves, look away now. Metamyther drags us into the abyss with the Demon Box from Eternal Research—a machine that looks like it was built by a mad scientist with a grudge against polite sound design. Forget your vanilla oscillators and predictable filters; this beast is all about electromagnetic chaos, inductor voodoo, and sounds that could clear out a dodgy pub at closing time. Metamyther’s cinematic industrial flair meets a box that’s as unpredictable as a punk gig in a power cut. Ready for some proper sonic carnage? Strap in.

Inductor Mayhem: The Demon Box’s Unholy Blueprint

The Demon Box doesn’t just break the rules—it sets fire to the manual and dances on the ashes. Metamyther wastes no time showing off this triangular slab of metal, which is less a synth and more a cosmic horror in hardware form. The interface is gloriously non-traditional, with three inductors forming a grid that’s about as far from a polite keyboard as you can get.

Instead of your usual knobs and sliders, you’re dealing with electromagnetic fields and object placement. Depending on where you stick your gadget—Metamyther uses a Steam Deck for laughs—you get wildly different signals. It’s like fishing for ghosts in a scrapyard. The whole design screams punk: unpredictable, raw, and not remotely interested in your comfort zone.

It's Eternal Research's Demon Box, an unholy gift from the Abyss, a cosmic horror barely contained in its metallic triangular structure.

Chaos Engine: The Industrial Noise Machine

If you want clean, clinical tones, jog on. The Demon Box is built for chaos, and Metamyther makes it clear this thing was born for industrial techno, noise, and drone. With three audio inputs and outputs, plus a master mix, you can blend electromagnetic weirdness with whatever you dare to plug in. There’s even CV out for modular mischief.

The real fun comes from the way each channel can be set to inductor, audio input, add mix, or silence. You can extract electromagnetic signals from your gear, twist them through the Demon Box’s circuits, and end up with a wall of sound that’s more demolition site than synth lab. It’s a proper noise machine—loud, unruly, and absolutely unapologetic.


Sonic Alchemy: Objects, Inputs, and the Abyss

Here’s where things get truly bonkers. The Demon Box isn’t content with just mangling signals—it wants you to experiment with any object you can shove near its inductors. Metamyther demonstrates how twisting and moving things around the grid produces unpredictable results, turning everyday electronics into sonic weapons.

There’s a MIDI out for even more mayhem, and the whole thing can run off USB-C, so you can drag it to a haunted warehouse or your mate’s shed and summon audio demons wherever you fancy. The point is clear: this box is an invitation to get weird, and the only limit is your willingness to push it.


Plug In, Freak Out: Modular Integration Encouraged

You also have three CV outputs as well for processing modular gear, so again we're going to do that a little later.

Modular heads, this one’s for you. The Demon Box is itching to be patched into your Eurorack chaos, with CV outputs ready to infect your system. Metamyther hints at the possibilities—sending MIDI from the Demon Box to other synths transforms them into entirely new beasts. It’s like giving your modular rig a shot of espresso and a slap round the face.

You’re encouraged to experiment, to patch, to prod, and to see what happens when you let the Demon Box off its leash. The interface might look simple, but the results are anything but. It’s the sort of gear that rewards curiosity and punishes hesitation—just the way we like it.

Live Carnage: Performance and Sonic Havoc

The proof is in the racket. Metamyther’s live demos are a barrage of industrial textures, drones, and noises that sound like a rave in a condemned building. The Demon Box doesn’t just make sound—it unleashes it, unpredictable and wild. If your hair isn’t standing on end by the end of the video, you might want to check your pulse.

Of course, words can only do so much. The real chaos, the full-on impact of this beast, is best experienced through Metamyther’s performance. If you want to know what it’s like to stare into the abyss and have it scream back, you’ll have to watch—and maybe bring earplugs.

Is your hair standing on end? Do you feel the chilly voice of the demon box calling your name?
