Demoncy
Within The Sylvan Realms Of Frost
[]
Perhaps the oldest active black metal band in the USA,
DEMONCY also seems to be one of the quietest. "Within
The Sylvan Realms Of Frost" is a collection of
unreleased material recorded between 1994-1996. A far
cry from this band's debut CD "Faustian Dawn", which
was early BEHERIT worship (but not even close to as
good!). This new CD sounds alot like 1991-1995 era
DARK THRONE, quite raw and primitive in style (a few
keyboards added occasionally). Not quite as catchy
but not boring by any means. Much like the music, the
vocals have improved alot since "Faustian Dawn". The
first 6 tracks are actually by side-band DARKENED
SKIES. Most are very long (6-9 minutes), and
interesting from start to finish. DEMONCY has since
released a full-length on Baphomet records (why did
they sign to this label?), and it's supposed to be
similar to this CD (although I haven't heard it
yet)...
