A begins a metal sub genre

This reminds of some really dirty rock n roll music given some extra overdrive with a punk vibe. The vocal does remind me of Paul Di'Anno.

The production is raw and very rough around the edges that is what gives this Demo a timeless quality. This is nothing like you will here from mainstream metal or more high brow Black Metal.

A good cross of Motorhead meets Discharge. The imagery of the Demon is what it is all about tapping into the dark side of things like bands before. However this now starts to deliver the signs of the fast raw and dark imagery and lyrical darkness Black Metallers know and love. Not one of my personal favourites but this is an awesome start to a genre of music that has got an amazing loyal and lasting legacy.
