Talk about don't judge a CD by its cover! Demonlord has
all the markings of a black metal release, while tucked neatly
inside its slipcase is a solid power metal CD called "Helltrust". Demonlord
hails from Hungary and is the first release we have received
from the country in a long time.
Apparently, the influences of Demonlord appear to be German as
their sound falls into the familiar territory of Running Wild,
Grave Digger, older Helloween and Swedes Hammerfall. "Quo Vadis?"
possesses the Iron Maiden gallop to go along with the Hammerfall
styled vocal choruses. While it is obvious that English is
not their primary language, the songs are still very listenable
as the guitars totally shred throughout. "Ruins In The
Dark" features some serious soloing that sparks uncontrollable
headbanging.
"Overture To The End" is pure Helloween from the Seven Keys era.
The straight-ahead pacing of "Darkest Place" makes it a strong
contender for best track on the disc behind "Ruins In The Dark".
At track 8, "Still Alive" is the first song to relax the pace as
it features an acoustic guitar and vocal. "Something
Arrived" reignites the frantic pace calling to mind the faster
tracks of Lost Horizon.
If Demonlord is any indication of what is awaiting us in Hungary
in regards to heavy metal music, there is potentially a treasure
chest of music to be discovered.
