Demo Overview
This demo was created to explore the metallic side of things, with limited instrumentation and more complicated riffs. The lessons learned were later utilised in the SDEK EP.
Track One utilises a large variety of riffs and rhythms throughout. From powerful blasting to frequent time changes and syncopation, even briefly slowing for a simple, yet emotive section with choir-like vocal harmonies. Other vocals are lightly interspersed within the song, being used more as a textural effect compared to similar material.
The second track is far more single minded in nature and heavily features vocals as part of the music. Beginning acoustically, the chords are introduced in a spirited fashion before giving way to the main body of the song. The slow, monolithic nature may initially seem at odds with the rest of the demo, but this is soon dispelled as the guitars are warped, shattered and mangled from the midway point to the end.
Track Three is the most playfully chaotic, incorporating disjointed riffs, ear piercing tones, polyrhythms and a single vocal that solidifies the somewhat ridiculous nature of the song.
The shortest track is left for last, but still manages to hold its own as a fitting conclusion to the demo.
