Bio:
Demon is an English heavy metal group, formed in 1979 by vocalist Dave Hill and guitarist Mal Spooner, both hailing from Leek, Staffordshire. They are considered an important band in the new wave of British heavy metal movement.The original line-up was completed by Les Hunt (Lead guitar), Chris Ellis (bass guitar) and John Wright (drums). The band were signed by Mike Stone's Clay Records in 1980 and licensed to Carrere Records to join their stable of metal bands. Their debut album, Night of the Demon, was released in 1981.After their 1982 follow-up album, The Unexpected Guest, the band experimented beyond the NWOBHM sound and moved the band in a more melodic direction whilst still retaining the more traditional heavy metal black magic lyrical style.In 1983 Demon took a change in direction.The Plague marked a swing towards a more progressive sound, adding the keyboards of session musician Andy Richards to the album's sound. Lyrically the band also changed direction, switching to a more overtly political style that was to characterise their albums for the rest of their career.The following album, the Pink Floyd influenced British Standard Approved (1984), released on the small independent Clay label, was not a huge commercial success, and with the death of Mal Spooner later that year, it appeared that the band would soon fold. At this point, the band had recruited a permanent keyboard player in Steven Watts.The following release Heart of Our Time (1985) showed that the remaining members of the band were determined to continue, and it was the start of a new songwriting partnership between Hill and Watts. Although the album is regarded as the weakest of the bands releases, it paved the way for the critically acclaimed Breakout (1987) and its follow-up Taking the World by Storm (1988).[1] The band would go on to release two more albums in the 1990s: 1991's Hold onto the Dream and 1992's Blow Out, before splitting up in 1992 which, according to singer and founding member Dave Hill, was because of fatigue.Hill reunited the band with new members in 2001, and released a new album called Spaced Out Monkey. The band has since gone onto release a further two albums, Better the Devil You Know (2005) and their latest release Unbroken, which was released on 13 September 2012.Both of the bands post reunion releases have received positive reviews from the press leading the band to go on and play many festivals across Europe Including Bang Your Head festival and Sweden Rock the band also toured with Magnum singer Bob Catley in 2005.The band released their twelfth studio album, Unbroken, in September 2012 and are planning a number of festival appearances in 2013 in support of it. The band are due to play at Sweden Rock Festival in June and Headbangers Open Air festival in July.
Album:
On their 45th anniversary as a band, Demon are coming back with a new studio album (their fourteenth) aptly titled "Invincible".Offering a sound that melts their classic root hard rock approach with the progressive and epic overtones of their mid 80's album, "Invincible" is an absolute stunner of an album which is going to make long-time aficionados very excited along with all the fans of such bands as Magnum, Uriah Heep or classic Rainbow.Dave Hill's raspy and soulful vocals may be the common denominator since the bands inception, but Demon are possibly one of the few bands who have managed to maintain their signature sound during years and update it in the new century, still maintaining the taste for a ghoulish image and elegant music."Invincible" has been written and produced by Dave Hill and drummer Neil Ogden and sees Dave Cotterill and Paul Hume on guitars, Paul Fasker Johnson on bass and Karl Waye on keyboards completing the line-up.The band will be touring in 2024 and bring their timeless music on stage with a repertoire spanning from "Night Of The Demon" to the new hits such as "In My Blood", "Face The Master" or the new epic "Hole In The Sky". Long live the Demon!
