Daemon was a Danish death metal band from Copenhagen that was founded in 1995 and disbanded around 2002.
history
The band was founded in 1995 by guitarist and singer Anders Lundemark ( Konkhra ) and drummer Nicke Andersson . In 1996, Diehard Music released the debut album Seven Deadly Sins , which was produced by Fred Estby . Ulf Cederlund from Entombed is represented as a guest guitarist . Lundemark also played the bass on the album under the pseudonym "Morgan Pitt". In 1998 the drummer Per Møller Jensen aka Frank Hellmet ( Artillery , The Haunted , Invocator , Konkhra), the guitarist Lars Mayland aka Joey Fernandez (Furious Trauma, Konkhra) and the Konkhra bassist Thomas "Gnist" Christensen joined the cast. 1999 followed with The Second Coming, the second album on which also a cover version of the Black Sabbath song Symptom of the Universe is included. This time Christensen had adopted "Morgan Pitt" as a pseudonym. The third album followed in 2002 under the name Eye for an Eye (... and the World Turns Blind) , on which Thomas Fagerlind ( Thorium , Iniquity ) took over the bass and Gene Hoglan took over the drums.
style
Frank Albrecht from Rock Hard wrote in his review of Seven Deadly Sins that the band plays classic death metal in a Scandinavian style. The group is particularly oriented towards the late 1980s. The band was reminiscent of Entombed, but could not match their quality. According Metal.de is on Eye for an Eye (... and the World Turns Blind) played straight Death Metal, in the ever thrash metal - riffs were incorporated. So you can hear the song Cursed Slayer from the 1980s, while The Trial is more modern groovy . However, the songs are too conventional to be surprising. According to Joel McIver in Extreme Metal II , on Eye for an Eye (... and the World Turns Blind) the band has underpinned their Death 'n' Roll style. The texts are of a philosophical and political nature.
