CoC : Daemonlord - Aarstrand : Review

Daemonlord - _Aarstrand_
(Ketzer Records, 2002)
by: Quentin Kalis (6 out of 10)

Daemonlord (or Demonlord as they were once known, before they changed their name in order to avoid confusion with another band with the same name -- and same spelling) are one of the few metal bands to originate from Spain, a country strangely under-represented in the metal world. This 7" consists of four songs (including a cover of Rotting Christ's "Fgementh, Thy Gift") of simplistic, occasionally catchy, no-frills three-minute bursts of neo-thrash, never straying too far from the conventional verse-chorus-verse structure. They do it well enough, yet never manage to imbue the songs with anything partiuclarly memorable. As with the _Bloodline_ 7", Daemonlord is best appreciated in short bursts, as their music would also get boring if it was performed for much longer then twenty minutes or so. This will hardly be the worst buy you can possibly make, but conversely neither will it be your best buy.
