Demon Head – Viscera

 

 

Demon Head – Viscera
Metal Blade Records – 2021
Rock, Doom, Occult, Proto, Gothic, Noir
Rated: ****

Demon Head has been making the Doom Charts with many of their releases and we’ve loved them all. So we quickly jumped at the honor to write the little blurb for their newest release Viscera. Those first Demon Head releases were much more lo-fi, occult and proto sounding. But don’t worry, the new album Viscera still retains some of that old Demon Head sound. But slower, much more intense and with a much grander arc and grandiose gestures. The atmospheric qualities have risen to cathedral proportions and the result is an unhurried, gothic, rock noir album with an everlasting mystical ambiance. There are some that might be taken aback with the new sound the Demon Head quintet seems to implore; but given time this new direction will surely captivate even the most reluctant diabolical soul. This is a showcase of atmospheric rock and moody doom; one that will slowly seep into your entrails and infect your blood and guts…
