Time Signature
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 aggressive, totally kicking ass in the old school way. The guitar picking is fast as lightening while the riffs are simple and energetic enough that the cannot help but to bang his or her head constantly. The vocals have a sort of whisky-and-cigars raspiness to them combined with Amazonian screams and suits the music itself very well. Rally good stuff this!

The three Demona tracks have the same level of energy but are slightly more melodic.

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!
