█ Fuck yeah! Speed metal is back! And what better █
█ representative than Demona - a Canadian-Chilean █
█ underground band led by Tanza Godoy, daughter of █
█ Jackie Godoy and for a long time a one-woman speed █
█ metal killing machine who, despite facing all █
█ sorts of adversity, stuck to her guns and never █
█ lost sight of her goal: to make old school quality █
█ speed metal. █
█ Now, all the hard work has come to fruition in the █
█ form of the debut album Metal Through the Time █
█ from Demona, now a full band, but still under █
█ Tanza's command. █
█ We are dealing with old school speed metal here █
█ evolving around old school thrash and speed metal █
█ riffage chucking away at breakneck velocity, █
█ accompanied by fast - at time even punky - █
█ drumbeats and a nicely audible and round, almost █
█ warm-sounding, bass. There are plenty of shreddy █
█ guitar solos, some of which are provided by guest █
█ musicians, including Mr Godoy Senior. █
█ The album is complete in its use of speed metal █
█ aesthetics, which means that there are a lot of █
█ bursts of melody and, at time, it sounds like █
█ NWoBHM in speed (just check out some of the more █
█ melodic parts of 'Nightmare' or the galloping, nay █
█ stampeding, riffage in 'Llagas'). The title track █
█ is a speed metal power bomb, featuring guest █
█ musicians from Warrant, Wardance, Sabbat (JPN), █
█ and Gurd, among others. As a bonus, there is a █
█ well-executed cover version of Wardance's 'Don't █
█ Play with Fire'. █
█ The album contains a lot of Demona classics, some █
█ of which have been around since the very early █
█ days of the band. They have all been rerecorded █
█ with the present Demona line-up (with help from █
█ Hugo Uribe on drums), and thus there is both a lot █
█ of history and a lot of authenticity to the album. █
█ Tanza's vocals have fortunately not lost the █
█ unique quality that has characterized the sound of █
█ Demona since its inception. █
█ The production is old school and unpolished, but █
█ not unbearably raw. Still, it does suit the █
█ overall DIY-feel of the album very well, and █
█ certainly adds to the speed metal authenticity of █
█ the album. █
█ Speed metal to the bone, Demona's Metal Through █
█ the Time has everything that makes for good speed █
█ metal - it has the charm, the aggression, the █
█ influence from traditional metal, it has the █
█ production. Fans of old school thrash and speed █
█ metal are bound to love this album. █
