No matter, this band are actually not really demons or demonstrous, they are just ordinary people from USA and Denmark. Danish/American band you could actually title them if you like to.
Musically they remind me for a bit about Catamenia whom I reviewed just some day ago. There are some difference between this band and said Finns. Catamenia are more melodic and has more parts sung in cleaner vocals. And of course Catamenia feel like they are varying their style a bit more. The songs on this record are quite focused to remain in the same style all of them.
I think there are two songs on this record that is quite good, the track called Alien Six an another track called Below Zero. Sure, I can place opening track Demon Seed amongst these best tracks of the record.
Other than said tracks it feels rather much like the songs on this record are more or less filling up the minutes on the record rather than focuses the listener’s attention towards the music. The tracks I mentioned by name however manage to break this fact.
I have a feeling that this record will be rather short but another thing I can mention is the fact that this band sound rather mature for being a band that releases their first album, productionwise that is, the songs are not really that quality.
I think that Demonica show some great potential with this record, they are an interesting band even though they don’t quite manage to create the most interesting album in the world.
So buy Alien Six and Below Zero on iTunes if you can, the rest of the songs you will not miss anyway. That is my recommendation as Demonstrous is a decent record but it is rather boring.
HHHHHHH
