SOILING THE NAME OF SATAN
Regarding Matt Johnstone’s review of Demoniac’s Prepare for War CD: It is absolute blasphemy for Matt to even mention the gods of black metal, Venom, in the review. Demoniac are utter shit and deserve nothing, let alone such a sparkling review. The song ‘The Return...’ isn’t even their song (which wasn’t mentioned). It belongs to Bathory, and their cover of it is totally massacred. Demoniac, like so many bands lately, think if they put on some corpse paint and have a dirty, harsh sound, for some reason they are black metal. BM is an extension of how you live, not a quick ticket to stardom. As for their lyrics (which is how BM is determined), [they] are crap, trying to cash in on the Norwegian angle. Do they really ride around with swords, killing Christians and waging war on the earth? I think not.
So, to all those shedding their death metal skin and now sprawling for any band with face paint and evil song titles, for you money and ears’ sake, don’t buy Demoniac’s CD. Try something like Storm ar ABSU. Son of Kingu, Hamilton.
