Review: Night Demon - S/T

NIGHT DEMON - ST 7" and CD


Shadow Kingdom? Cool. Who ever puts this thing out has their hands on a goldmine!!! 

The Night Demon ST releases have been a much anticipated addition to my local hero's collection hailing from Ventura/Hueneme, Ca and it does not disappoint. This New Wave of British Heavy Metal homage goes a step further, reinvents, rejuvenates and re-re-re-shred-ifies everything that is AWESOME about metal! 

Before the smoke machine, dueling Flying V's, gallops, head bangs, satanic lyrics, fist pumps, leather jackets and ripping solos even start you'll notice that this amazing incarnation is more then professional. As a "members of" group they've got the entire thing down. From product placement everywhere that matters, reviews on every prominent metal blog and in every magazine that's still in print, to their professional art work, embroidered patches, trademarked band name and huge Night Demon banner behind the band.

THEN once they start playing you'll immediately see what the hype is about. The sound is perfect, the brought in lighting makes it right and the entire package is something you never want to miss!

Ok now to the recording.... take everything I said before and translate it into a ear drum raping, brain melting, neck aching excuse to grow your hair past your shoulders. Every other review I have seen has broken down each song, each song part, each lyric to its core influence or what they think its influenced by... so I'll spare you that and just tell you if you like metal, or like music, or have more then 3 brain cells rubbing together you have to pick this up NOW! It sounds like the band that influenced every band that was ever worth listening to... Simple but more then amazing, solid riffs with solid back beats and even more solid lyrics and vocals laid over top.

The only bad part about this recording is 1. I'm gonna wear out my needle listening to this thing 2. its going to be tough to top but after hearing a lot more of what the band has to offer live I know they will continue to push the envelope on the Newest New wave Of British whatever whatever... JUST GET IT NOW!!!
