"STRUTTER" WEBZINE (MASS POPUPS ON SITE, POSTING REVIEW HERE)

"...musically we get to hear strong 80s influenced Melodic metal, a bit reminding me of GRIM REAPER. The first song “...And The Meek” has a very strong memorable chorus and some biting guitarwork. Actually this song gave me such a good feeling, as not only the song is very impressive, but also instrumental it all sounds very good, and above all, this band has [its] own sound! So I will not make any further comparisons, because the GRIM REAPER similarities are also a bit out of place sometimes (lead singer Blaine Hammond however sounds like a raw mixture of Dee Snider of TWISTED SISTER and Steve Grimmett of GRIM REAPER). Also the other songs “My eyes fixed” and “Of the shadows” are good up-tempo Melodic Metal tracks, so you now know a bit in which direction this band is going. I would recommend to you to check out this band..."

"... unapologetic old school metal attitude and style. In a world of wimpy European Power-Metal, the band was a refreshing return to the sounds of Iron Maiden & Judas Priest. They have those small elements that are missing from 90% of the bands that claim NWOBHM as a major influence. The others talk about it and this band has it! We at Abrasive Rock feel the band has a great future ahead of them..."

"WEST SIDE DAVE'S METAL" WEBZINE | (MASS POPUPS ON SITE, POSTING REVIEW HERE)

"...and if this 3 song demo is any indication, Seattle could very well become a Heavy Metal Mecca once again! ... Their style combines the bone-crushing riffage of vintage Bay Area Thrash with the more melodic sensibilities of the best Euro Power Metal; not a bad combo! ...Kicking things off is "...And The Meek"; it begins with some great reverb-drenched a capela, followed by a neck-snapping riff that will induce instant headbanging! This is EASILY one of the best Metal tunes I`ve heard so far this year and was a perfect choice for the opening track. "My Eyes Fixed" continues the auditory assault with more punishing rhythms while the ominous "Of The Shadows" features a great vocal delivery by Hammond. Actually, the whole band sound flawless; PLENTY of thought was put into this demo, and I think "quality" won out over "quantity" here! Honorable mention should also be given to the highly intelligent lyrics; not the usual silliness usually associated with this genre. At times, Shadow Demon reminds me a bit of "Something Wicked This Way Comes"-era Iced Earth, although IE haven`t sounded THIS good in years! My faith in US Metal has slowly been restored over the past 2 years, even more so with this demo. And it would receive an even BIGGER boost if each and every one of you reading this would go to the bands` website and purchase this demo so we can have more, more, MORE Shadow Demon releases! Now that`s not much to ask, is it? Highest possible recommendation!!"
