REVIEW #1

BLACK DEMONS // BENZOATE  Split 7"

I have been knowing the demons for some years now. Hailing from my own hometown, it was a pact of all the guitarist from the now-defunct Diskangkung, Urughai and Rahasia thrashing new direction. Apart from their previous interests in the past band, Black Demons riding a fast ride towards metal punk worships. The black side offer you 2 songs with the first track entitled Rock & Roll Gegen Nazis, which is a full throttle bash onto nazism through motorcharged beats with a somehow familiar metal punk riffs infused into the intensity of riding a fast paced frequencies. Would be a nice sing-a-long when playing live. The next song is an unplugged blues injected track which featured "Lady Demon" as duet singer. A fairly good acoustic with nice singing too. This is good with a glass of whiskey.


On the white side, there's Benzoate with a total of 4 songs. I've seen this band live a couple times and always loved their energetic set. This three pieces hardcore punk dudes really delivered good tracks of furious punk beats, like whenever you listen to early 80's hardcore punk that its very raw, simple and pure. The lyrics is simple dealing with surroundings. Their rage is felt through the angriness of the guitarist and bassist who both singing together. Its an all-go-no-slow chemistry between the band. I love the solo parts too. Its convenient in its part. If you dig something pure with no bullshits of complexities, this gonna be the right pick.

When I played this on my stereo player, I feel like a getting a horse, or at least a nice ride like the demon's to get through this. Its a hard ride with satan, you know.


Released by Basement Records, Malaysia with 2 different colors : Orange & Black
