Formed in October 1994, Withering Surface began to write their first demo. It wasn't until 1995 that the band actually entered a studio to record it. Their first demo was titled 'Unique' and was recorded in Take-One Studios and saw the light of day in September. In December, after many interviews and reviews of this demo, it was chosen as 'The best metal demo of 95' on National Danish Radio. In 1996 the band was featured on the 'Extremity Rising'
