There's a method to the madness.
Nespithe = the spine
Erecshyrinol = no lyrics here
Very simple :P
And of course everyone knows the demilich from Dungeons and Dragons... right? -

I just noticed that and a lupe is apparently a Polynesian fruit pigeon. Don't know what the relation to the album is since it's just some well made abstract sound collage thing with not a single bird sound but then again absolutely nothing makes sense in electroacoustic music land and you just make of it what your mind makes of it. -

Didn't know about the D&D connection, but then I've never really had much to do with that.
And I bet this album could make a lot of lists, for example:
* Strangest/weirdest song titles (as they're much weirder than the album title).
* Unique take on a music genre with unique vocalization, I actually know of just one further band from that period who kinda sounded like Demilich, but didn't go as far as them and only made one demo (Agonized (2)). Are there any more?
* Albums probably written by extraterrestrials ;) -

I always imagine Demilich is what aliens would write after hearing death metal for the first time.
As for albums with similar vocals, there's a lot in the brutal death metal genre. Pyaemia - Cerebral Cereal and Disgorge - She Lay Gutted are pretty fun.
But in of raw weirdness Demilich takes the cake. The song titles are cool, but the lyrics themselves are on an entirely different level. "And You'll Remain..." has to be the apex of bizarre creepiness put to music. -

Lupe is also a female name in Spanish. There's a Spanish language version of "Hang on Sloopy" called "Hey Lupe". -

Here's another christmas album:
Trey Parker, Matt Stone - Mr. Hankey's Christmas Classics
would of been a good album if they had of included music from the happy, non-offensive, non-denominational Christmas Play, as i'm a keen listener of Philip Glass.
we also has the delightfully organic sounding Evol - Fart Synthesis. -
