DEMONESSA announce their long-awaited debut album, entitled “Wild ‘N’ Loud”, coming out May 1st.
“Wild
‘N’ Loud” is a love letter to all the greatest hits from the ‘80s heavy
metal scene with big, arena-shaking choruses, thundering drum beats and
hard rocking guitar riffs that will inspire the next generation of rock
’n’ roll stars. The sound of the album is overall very reminiscent of
that old school tone, but with a modern twist to it, so it doesn’t sound
like it actually came out 40 years ago.
The band stated on the album:
“A
few standout tracks for the members themselves have to be the opener
“Till Death Do Us Part”, because it brings together everything we’ve
learned to love about heavy metal music, “High Voltage Renegade”, the
follow-up song with its fast-paced, hard-rocking energy that perfectly
kicks off the rest of the album, “I Stand Alone” which will surely top
the charts in 20 years, like any good old power ballad did back in the
days and “We Rule the Night” simply for how much fun it is to play
live.”
“The album was a long time coming, as we wanted to make
sure everything was on point and everyone was fully behind the final
result that would be the band’s first real introduction to the
listeners. The music for the album was written by the guitarist John
Creweholm, but every band member had a chance to add their own twists
and turns for each song as they saw fit, while the vast majority of
lyrics and vocal melodies were the singer, Senja’s, territory. The songs
were recorded mainly in the band’s rehearsal room and mixed and
mastered by the great Aleksis Pelli at Mix Studio 1101. One of our
biggest challenges was getting the drums to sound just right, but with
his magic touch they sound like cannons from hell with every beat, as
they do live.”
A couple of ‘must-listen’ songs that define the album:
–
“Till Death Do Us Part” – The opening track, the bread and butter of
the album, the song meant to hook listeners immediately. The song’s
message can be interpreted as either a love story gone horribly wrong
the toxic way or an addiction that will take you to your grave.
– “I
Stand Alone” – The token ballad of the album. A story about losing the
people you love as time goes on and everyone starts going their own way,
but you still have to stay strong, true to yourself and move on.
–
“A Knife to a Gunfight” – An explosive ending for the album that takes
the listener on the ride of a lifetime with the amazing vocals, cool
riffs, and crazy solos. It’s about falling in love with someone, when
you’re not ready yet, and it feels unfair.
