PlanetMosh Keeping it Metal
Iconic British heavy metallers Demon are pleased to unveil their new lyric video “Hole In The Sky”, taken from their latest studio album, “Invincible”, released on May 17th, 2024, via Frontiers Music Srl.
The album will also be available as double blue vinyl on August 29th, 2025.
They formed in Leek, 1979 and were a stalwart of the emerging NWOBHM movement but fast forward to the present day as they are still relevant to this very day, point proven by this new lyric video.
After a few listens I saw it as an eerie epic to end all epics as these seven salivating minutes enchant, as well as scaring the shit out of you! It’s a grandiose monolith that captures the vibe of that moment in time, but don’t just take my word for it, give it a few spins yourself and marvel at what Demon have done here.
Vocalist Dave Hill described the track as following: “Hole In The Sky” was largely inspired by vivid imagery of Egypt’s iconic landmarks – from the Pyramids and the Valley of the Kings to the Nile. We then added our own musical imagery and narrative elements, leaving the interpretation open for each listener to find their own meaning in the journey”.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 band’s 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” was written and produced by Dave Hill and drummer Neil Ogden, and Dave Cotterill and Paul Hume are on guitars, Paul Fasker Johnson is on bass, and Karl Waye is on keyboards, completing the lineup.
Formed in 1979 by vocalist David Hill, Demon released their debut album, Night of the Demon, in 1981. After their 1982 follow-up album, The Unexpected Guest, the band experimented beyond the NWOBHM sound. They moved towards a more melodic direction while retaining the traditional heavy metal black magic lyrical style. They took another change in direction in 1983 with “The Plague”. It 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 characterised their albums for the rest of their career.
