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.
