Metal is Baphomet's commander...
Genre: speed metal
Demona released a full length album earlier this year and, as far as I know, Acid Evil is working on a new release of some type. Both bands are essentially one-worman speed metal projects, and Acid Demons is a cassette tape split featuring three tracks from either band.
The three Acid Evil tracks are quite primitive and very fast, and very good. Just the way they should be.
The three Demona tracks have the same level of energy but are slightly more melodic, as Tanza makes use of more melodic and more rock-oriented vocals than the raspy growls on the three Acid Evil tracks. The tempo is fast and the riffs pretty much sound like classic heavy metal speed up to the nth degree. There is plenty of old school appeal to the tracks and any fan of traditional speed metal should be able to appreciate the Demona tracks.
Out of the two artists on the album, Demona comes across as the more melodic and musically more varied (although 'Die in violence' is nearly brutal), while Acid Evil is more aggressive and focus more on speed. Both bands are equally good, I think, each having its own qualities.
Both bands on this release offer old school speed metal which is fast and aggressive and, to be blunt, damn good!
