Strange Land - Demo
Strange Land strikes from the unknown and in their effort to be shown on the heavy metal chart, they bring us this three-piece-demo. Strange Land consist of five really skilled musicians (Kevin Grose - Guitars, Kevin Schmitt - Guitars,Joe Herring - Guitars,Wade 'Metal' Helm - Drums and Wes Watson - Bass) and one extra ordinary singer in Karl Mustard.
This demo starts off with a catchy and strong song in "The enemy has fallen", which is a strong sing-along song, whose chorus is nailed into your head several hours after listening to it. I really enjoy this song and I think it's the best song on their demo. With that being said I want to make it clear that I also enjoy the other two as well! The second is a praise heavy metal hymn with a staggering guitar solo. The third one is an early Bride and Guns’n’roses influenced rock cracker! Crunchy guitars combined with Karl’s groovy vocals make this last song a worthy ender. And it for sure leaves me hungry for more!
In all of their song it's in your face lyrics, where they want to glorify our Saviour Jesus Christ in every possible way. And I must admit that I really enjoy listening to them, as they tend to uplift my spirit.
As I mentioned earlier, this demo is way too short to satisfy my hungry heavy metal soul. So, I cross my fingers and pray that Strange Land soon will release their debut full length album.
