Wow, this demo is absolutely intense. These guys clearly know exactly what they’re doing, hitting hard from the very start and never letting up. Right from the get-go, they dive straight into the action, wasting no time at all. The vocalist is the real standout of this demo, with a raw, fiery energy that is impossible to ignore. His voice is packed with aggression, and the lyrics are sharp, poignant, and full of venom, backing up every bit of that anger. It’s clear that a lot of thought went into these lyrics, and they flow perfectly, creating a compelling narrative that draws you in.
Then, the drums—wow. They are blisteringly fast and chaotic, adding a relentless energy to the mix. You can feel the passion in every hit, and while they can occasionally get a bit sloppy due to the sheer intensity, this only adds to the wild, unrestrained feel of the demo. It’s not perfect, but that’s part of the fun—it’s raw, real, and energetic.
The guitars, on the other hand, are heavy and have a certain weight to them, almost with a "church" quality—a bit of a haunting, rumbling tone. Interestingly, they’re pushed lower in the mix, allowing the vocals and drums to shine through even more. This decision works really well, as it gives the vocals and drums the space to show off without any competition. The guitars still hold their own, adding depth and power, but the way they’re mixed helps create a unique dynamic in the demo.
And then there’s the bass—it’s just straight-up hard. It complements the rest of the band perfectly, grounding the sound with a powerful presence. These guys have clearly been in the game for a while because this demo is far too tight, polished, and expertly crafted to be the work of first-timers. It’s clear they’ve got experience, and they’re definitely bringing everything they’ve learned to the table. This demo isn’t just good—it’s something that grabs your attention and demands to be heard.
