Demons
Demons are Nate Young (Wolf Eyes, etc) and Steve Kenney (Hatred, Isis & Werewolves). Demons use synthesizers to explore near-epileptic fits of droning synth textures that elicit comparisons with earlier European electronic pioneers (such as Stockhausen and Cluster) whilst simultaneously bludgeoning forward with the grating and scraping atonal complexities of Whitehouse and Throbbing Gristle. Subterranean atonal analog rumblings compete with laser-sharp extraterrestial blasts and hums. Since forming in late 2005, Demons have evolved from a synthesizer duo to include video artist Alivia Zivich into a "Visual Music" trio to produce discomforting psychedelic multi-media performances. Working under the name “Video Madness” she often uses the music of Demons as soundtracks to her analog video experiments.
Most Demons output is released via Nate's AA Records (which you can reach here). The site appears to be in hibernation at the minute but you can still grab a few of their releases at Fusetron. You can also grab some of their fantastic dvd releases here.
Demons are touring with Sick Llama soon, so hopefully there will be new output in the near future.
Before you get too excited...the Life Destroyer box only has the audio rip of the dvd (with the cd and tape of course) and 080206 doesn't include the (extremely limited) 1-sided lathe cut locked groove 5".

Ah sweet! A thousand thank yous sir ;)
Nice stuff, thanks!
This stuff is amazing, very hypnotic, mysterious and enthralling. It would be nice if more noise bands were in this vein as opposed to non-stop screeching. Far better than anything I've heard by Wolf Eyes, and as you said, it takes after classics like early Cluster. Thanks for posting this!
Demons fucking Rocks!!! Best Bava flick EVAR!!! I have the alt.vinyl 8" release if you want to add it to the link roll. Ripped it at 128kb tho...
btw anon...fuck the 128...drop the link whenever you like...128 is better than not having it at all :-)
caligari:
really didn't that stuff.
sure i'm not much into drones
(just nadia, dilloway, sunn o),
but i found that music pretty boring.
definitly not my kind of noise.
It's a huge ask, but is there any chance you could re-up this Demons stuff?
