“Don’t let the frost get a hold on your soul”
It’s officially summer now but winter darkness reigns eternal in the heart of the HMOverlord so here’s Winterland by Copenhagen’s Demon Head. Taken from their 2015 album Ride the Wilderness, we’re in firmly retro territory here, harking back to the vintage proto-metal of Pentagram or even the heavier bluesy bands like Fleetwood Mac. The band’s sound is refreshingly clean and warm, the heaviness coming from the doom-laden riffs and delivery. And Ferreira Larsen’s excellent Bobby-Liebling-meets-Glenn-Danzig vocals are cultishly addictive. It’s great stuff from a very promising debut album. If you like this, the bands entire digital discography can be acquired very cheaply via Bandcamp and keep an eye out the follow-up album Thunder On The Fields, due out in April 2017.
Good song, heavy but there’s a definite hippy vibe to it. In fact, I’m going to hunt for my bong for when I listen to it again.

I like this a lot, not what I was expecting at all. I can smell the patchouli oil from here. You’d love that Black Widow LP btw.

Yeah I’ll need to check that out. Thought this might be up your street… took me by surprise when I first listened to it too.

Haha ouch I had the volume too high for the headphones and when it kicked in BAM!
Definitely classic sounding. Slower less heavy Sabbathy. Sounds like it’s from the 70s for sure.

I thought there was a wee bit Danzig about the vocals.

Danes, aye. Thought this would appeal to you. Definitely worth it. And not too pricey for the dls either.

Definitely does and a wee brief glimpse at their bandcamp suggests there are goods to be obtained for much cheapness!

Yes! Although they do warn the postage is a bit pricey. I’m going to maybe get some vinyl though, once my funds have recovered a bit!

I saw that. Always a kicker when buying vinyl from some European labels or suchlike. Pay more for the postage than the LP in some cases!
