Demon - Blow Out. CD.
(Prosthetic Cock - SPMCD011)
Demon's second studio album of the 90s obviously found them combatting the grunge explosion: it also marked the first time that guitarist Steve Brookes (strangely enough, a member of hardcore noise heroes Discharge) had come into his own as a compioser within the band. Anyone expecting punk would be extremely disappointed, however: the songs, such as 'Wargames' 'Visons Of The Future' 'Soldiers Of Fortune' and the aptly named 'Still Worth Fighting For' and 'Everything Has Changed' may have been shorter, more precise, but noise they were not. This was a set of tight, powerful melodic British heavy metal with progressive overtones that took no prisoners. Remastered with bonus tracks. This product can be found in : Heavy Metal, Stoner Rock / Heavy Rock, 80's, 90's & 00's - Progressive Rock, Rock, 80's, 90's & 00's - Rock, AOR / Melodic Rock

Demon - Break Out. CD.
(Drastic Spread - SPMCD007)
By 1987 most bands that had cut their teeth on the rotating blades of the NWOBHM (except the 'big three' of Maiden, Leppard and Saxon) had either given up completely or fallen into inertia. Not Demon. Six albums in and they still hadn't cracked the big time (and had probably realised by that point that they never would), losing a guitarist to the Grim Reaper (the real one, not Steve Grimmett) in the process, yet they persisted and released yet another fine set of melodic Metal songs. Of course, they were blatantly ignored in the press at the time (too busy sucking up to Bon Jovi, Dave Lee Roth, Queensryche and the aforementioned Maiden, if one's memory serves one correctly) but the fervent few knew the band were special. This is by no means their best album (as a matter of fact it attempts to unecessarily Americanise their sound in places, but hey, it was an experiment) , but still a strong release worth hearing, and it quite frankly pisses on the likes of Marshall Law, Shy and other Midlands bands of the time. Check it out. Remastered with bonus material. This product can be found in : Heavy Metal, Stoner Rock / Heavy Rock, Rock, 80's, 90's & 00's - Rock, AOR / Melodic Rock, Hair Metal & Poodle Rock

Demon - British Standard Approved. CD.
(Plastic Head - SPMCD005)
Fourth album from Staffordshire metallers, featuring some of their best-known material such as 'Touching The Ice' 'The Link' and 'Hemispheres', which continued their more scientifico-political (if such a word exists) and less occult-based lyrical direction. Sadly, this was the last album to feature guitar hero and songwriter Mal Spooner, who tragically died of pneumonia whilst still only in his early thirties shortly after its completion. It is said that after his death Demon ceased to be a traditional heavy metal band, and he took their 'classic' era with him: maybe this is true, but Spooner himself was anything but traditional. And there were still highpoints aplenty around the corner. . . Remastered with bonus material. This product can be found in : Heavy Metal, Stoner Rock / Heavy Rock, Rock, 80's, 90's & 00's - Rock, Occult / Esoteric

Demon - Heart Of Our Time. CD.
(Hastic Plead - SPMCD006)
The first of Demon's post-Spooner albums, released in 1985 and showing the band moving in an increasingly AOR-oriented direction. This had of course always been an element present in the band's music- even their earliest albums for instance, bore a resemblance to Rainbow and Heep: however, without Spooner they lost a certain amount of their mystique. What they still had, on the other hand, was an ability to pen and perform quality melodic heavy rock songs (with keyboardist Steve Watts taking on Spooner's songwriting role), and the likes of 'Genius' 'In Your Own Heart' 'Expressing The Light' and 'High Climber' are as good examples of that as any from the era. Remastered with bonus material. This product can be found in : Heavy Metal, Stoner Rock / Heavy Rock, Rock, 80's, 90's & 00's - Rock, AOR / Melodic Rock

Demon - Hold On To The Dream. CD.
(Mastic Dread - SPMCD010)
Demon's first album of the 90s, and the first studio album to be released on Flametrader Records after several years on Clay. Now recognised as forefathers by a Euro Metal scene that looked to the NWOBHM and progressive melodic metal for inspiration, the band began at last to garner some of the recognition they deserved. Remastered with bonus material. This product can be found in : Heavy Metal, 80's, 90's & 00's - Progressive Rock, Rock, 80's, 90's & 00's - Rock, AOR / Melodic Rock

Demon - One Helluva Night- Live. CD.
(Synthetic Nob - SPMCD010)
Excellent and power-driven live set from the tail end of the decade, as Demon celebrate a decade's worth of triumphs, tribulations and tragedies. Includes 'Blue Skies In Red Square' 'Don't Break The Circle' 'Sign Of A Madman' 'Remembrance Day' 'Life On The Wire' 'Night Of The Demon' etc. By now most of the theatrics had gone, but the stagecraft remained. An excellent way to experienmce this band's live power- remastered with bonus tracks. This product can be found in : Heavy Metal, Stoner Rock / Heavy Rock, 80's, 90's & 00's - Progressive Rock, Rock, 80's, 90's & 00's - Rock, AOR / Melodic Rock

Demon - Sp;aced Out Monkey. CD.
(Phallic Bread - SPMCD012)
Demon's first studio album of the new millennium is a synthesis of all the elements that made its predecessors so special: chugging metaaaal bludgeon, punk aesthetics, progressive, symphonic song constructions and a melodic flair generally only found in US AOR bands. Not bad for a bunch of chaps from Staffordshire now in their fourth (at time of writing) decade of recording and playing together!!Some of the standout tracks penned by Dave Hill and his cohorts here include 'Sound Of The Underground' 'Child Of The Dark Sky' 'Streetwise Cowboy' and 'Let Me Out Of Here' Like many 80s band still opearting in the 21st century, there are a few unnecessary flirtations with modern rock fashions, but this is still a Demon album throughout. And thus ends a massive campaign of reissues!! Now buy the damn things. Oh yes, and for the LAST TIME- "remastered with bonus tracks"!! Like anyone really cares that much. Just invest in Demon anyway, because they desreve the recognition. This product can be found in : Heavy Metal, Stoner Rock / Heavy Rock, 80's, 90's & 00's - Progressive Rock, Rock, 80's, 90's & 00's - Rock, AOR / Melodic Rock

Demon - Taking The World By Storm. CD.
(Spastic Fred - SPMCD008)
Demon's 1988 release, at a time when the Metal world were obsessed with 80s hair bands (although Demon themselves had sprouted a 'do' or two at this point) was unfashionable even back in 1989, but they proudly didn't give a shit by this point, and instead concentrated on doing what they did best- producing quality British-to-the-core heavy rock (albeit with maybe a nod to the States a la Robin George). Owever, melodic though they may have been, there were certainly no pretensions of commerciality this time round: indeed, they satirised the affair on the opening track 'Commercial Dynamite' andthen as if to prove a point, filled the album with ambitious, quasi-progressive epics such as 'Remembrance Day' 'Time Has Come' 'What Do You Think About Hell' and the topical 'Blue Skies In Red Square' that would give Queensryche the fear!! This symphonic direction, after the uncertain AOR of its predecessors, would herald the second coming of Demon and re-establish their reputation on the Continent. Remastered with bonus material. This product can be found in : Heavy Metal, Stoner Rock / Heavy Rock, 80's, 90's & 00's - Progressive Rock, Rock, 80's, 90's & 00's - Rock, AOR / Melodic Rock

Demon - The Plague. CD.
(Plastic Head - SPMCD004)
1983'S 'The Plague' saw Hill, Spooner and Co dropping their quasi-mystical/ black-arts obsessed lyrical stance and instead adopting more of a political and current affairs-based worldview, using the Black Plague as a metaphor. Released on the small Midlands-based indie label Clay, it received positive reviews but suffered frankly piss-poor distribution and never reached its desired audience. Still, they persevered. Looking back, 'The Plague' is very much an album of its time, and was at the time considered to be their 'prog' excursion, but it is in fact melodic Metal to the core and should be recognised as a classic of the NWOBHM/ NOBWOB era. Remastered with bonus material added. This product can be found in : Heavy Metal, Stoner Rock / Heavy Rock, Rock, 80's, 90's & 00's - Rock, Occult / Esoteric

Demon - The Unexpected Guest. CD.
(Plastic Head - SPMCD003)
Second album from this great and highly underrated British Metal act, fronted by coffin-wielding frontman Dave Hill (no relation) who have been performing pretty much continuously since the mid 1970s. Originally released in 1982, it wasn't quite as much of a classic as its predecessor 'Night Of The Demon' but featured some fab favourites such as 'Don't Break The Spell' Sign Of A Madman' and 'Deliver Us From Evil' Like 90 percent ofl the greatest metal bands, they hailed from the Midlands, and if you close your eyes and listen to this you can just smell the real ale, leather jackets, bike fluid and hear the clack of a thousand rock chicks' stiletto heels. Ah, they don't make 'em like that anymore. But they will!! Remastered with bonus material. This product can be found in : Heavy Metal, Stoner Rock / Heavy Rock, Rock, 80's, 90's & 00's - Rock, Occult / Esoteric
