Artist History
DAEMON originally started out as a 4 piece with Robert Garcia, Chris Fansler, Joseph Fontenot and Mike Patrick. The band played in support of their 2 self releases and Fansler and Garcia decided the music business wasn't for them, so Patrick and Fontenot continued along with new members Kevin Rynders former Drummer of Drowning Pool and guitarist Jason Pittman.

Press Reviews

RAW NERVE PROMOTIONS
The Review of "GraveDance" is finally in!!!!
.DAEMON. - Gravedance
7 tracks 24 minutes
Daemon is a bit of an odd prospect in all truth.
Plentiful amounts of unobvious and in some parts
possibly unintentional influences being shown all put
together pretty well. I get the main reference points
as Pantera (especially "Vulgar Display of Power" era),
Konkhra, Entombed, occasionally Life of Agony, due in
part to the weirdly nasal singing voice that pops up
fairly frequently. There are Machine Head parts in
there and most definitely some Slipknot, harking
towards their more heavier moments, but the overall
mood isn't as totally polished as those bands, giving
it a different sort of edge.
Title track "Gravedance" is almost Swedish style death
metal ala At The Gates and The Haunted in the intro
riff and there is Fear Factory also through in, but
Daemon don't sound like any of these directly,
which is why this CD is pretty refreshing. Good solid
metal songs (with an occasional death leaning / nu
metal ideas / thrash edge also).
I guess the thing that sets it differently to all
those bands is the production, which does lack a
little but doesn't desperately hinder. As people are
probably beginning to gather, the production can make
or break a CD. I think should Daemon receive a
massive production one day then they appear to have
the songs and enough ideas to carry it off and make it
all worthwhile. The playing is pretty tight and the
songs are solid.
"Smile" is perhaps the craziest track with some
excellent drumming and very definite Slipknot
influence (from their self titled CD). Nice blasts at
the start and tight double pedal work. "Free" has some
cool death metal growls before the opening "Now I've
turned my back on this life, I'm never gonna come
back" lines. Some awesome Haunted-esque riffings
continue in this track, which is possibly my favorite
on here.
The only Low point was Drift which isn't the type of song that I particularly care for, Anyways, take nothing away from the rest of the CD,
but if you get chance to hear this, do yourself a
favor and don't Judge the rest of this really well
put together, powerful, metallic CD by listening to the
end track. It's a bloody good record otherwise :)
This is a damn good mini CD
