SHIPPING DOMESTIC $ 6 PLUS $ 3 EACH ADDITIONAL OVERSEAS $ 16 First off this is their very first release . ORIGINAL UNPLAYED Which in this case is a pretty damn cool cover! A red-eyed, bug-like, winged, hell-spawned creature breaking out of its gargoyle-like imprisonment atop a pile of skulls. What to expect from a cover like this - Venom? Demon Pact? Or at least the heavy riffage of Argorn’s Black Ice single? No, what we have here is a latecomers to the hard rock scene thrown in with the N.W.O.B.H.M.. This happened surprisingly a lot during those first three or so years (’79–’81) . Demon formed around the time the N.W.O.B.H.M. had just started taking off . It's quite a nice slab of N.W.O.B.H.R. (hard rock). It has a nice pumping rhythm with riffs that cut in with the power of AC/DC and melodies not that far off a more primitive what would later be known as “Ebony sound” (Ebony Records). Think what would those early Blade Runner and Grim Reaper riffs sound like. In retrospect, I suppose this could in fact be considered heavy metal if you consider when it was released. While Demon may not live up to the occult imagery and mystique, Liar is quite a solid slab of heavy rock. It’s a good thing they finally realized their debut album needed to be heavier and ultimately the heavy metal world. While not receiving the media attention of the likes of Diamond Head, Angel Witch or Iron Maiden, Demon did receive enough attention for the quality of the music they were producing, especially considering the dozens of quality bands that would release one or two singles (or worse, never make it out of demo status) only to die out in obscurity. But hey, Liar and the awesome cover art are worth the having.
