It`s nothing new that the most bands these days try to revive or just to keep alive the sound of the great bands of the 70`s and 80`s. In this case, you can see most influence in a form of BLACK SABBATH and DEEP PURPLE. Usually, they fail, because the sound is just excessively similar, that it looks like more of copycat than paying the homage to the band. With DEMON EYE, that`s not the case. They found out the perfect recipe to keep the sound alive without sounding too much like the bands they looked up to.

After the release of their debut “Shades of the Black” as EP this year, “Leave the Light” is the first full-length album for DEMON EYE, and it will see the light of the day in early 2014. You can say that the song structure is classic one, cause to be honest, all has been invented few decades ago, and there`s really no point in changing the thing that has been working for decades, is there?

The definite highlights of the album are guitars, whose riffs irresistibly resemble the best works of the fore mentioned bands. Songs are perfectly composed, so there`s nothing that`s lacking or being overused. Flawlessly production made it sound like you`re listening it from the Vinyl, and it`s not a bad thing. Just gives it additional “old school” taste.

There`s whole lot of variety, and the album still sounds nicely wrapped up. The Psychedelic sound is present along with the Heavy Metal base. It`s all perfectly balanced. The album has 11 tracks, each carrying something of their own. There`s no repetition. One of the best ones is “Fires of Abalam”, and the catchiest most definitely is “The Devil Knows the Truth”.

“Leave The Light” may be first full-length album for this North Carolina guys, but they sound like they`ve been around for quite a while. If you`re enjoying the “old-school” sound of Heavy Metal /Hard Rock, this is most definitely band you should pay attention to. --- Andrija "TheIslander" Petrovic, metal-temple.com
