This young Copenhagen-based band\u2019s second demo sees them deserting the black metal image that Maltese Falcon created with their first effort. However, although their image may have changed, the music certainly hasn\u2019t; still being delivered in a raw, hard\u2019n\u2019heavy fashion.<\/p>\n

\u2018Headbanger\u2019 is by far the best track, showing early Black Sabbath<\/a> influences with its slow heavy build up before breaking out into hard, grinding fast paced metal. \u2018Rebellion\u2019, \u2018Back With The Rock\u2019 and \u2018Back In The Circle\u2019, although very heavy, are only of really mediocre quality. Whilst the slower \u2018Stonehenge\u2019 offers a welcome contrast to the harder hitting rockers, reminding me somewhat of Pretty Maids\u2019 \u2018Children Of Tomorrow\u2019; although not quite as melodic as the Maids\u2019 classic.<\/p>\n

To be honest, after the Danish band\u2019s promising first demo, I was expecting something a little more from this second offering. But still, not a bad effort, and hopefully the next one will show an even greater improvement.<\/p>\n
