Demonomancy - Throne of Demonic Proselytism
When you know that Yosuke Konishi of Nuclear War Now! Productions is a huge fan of Blasphemy and bands in that style, it’s no surprise that he would release an album by Italy’s Demonomancy. While they aren’t a clone of Blasphemy or a direct descendant of the band like Revenge or Conquerer, Demonomancy does share a lot of stylistic similarities with the Ross Bay legends. The main difference between the two is their chosen speed range. Demonomancy tends to dwell in the slower side of Black/Death Metal, occasionally kicking up the tempo to show that they can grind alongside the best of them. This particular style makes them sound a bit like the combination of Blasphemy and Corpse Molestation in that they have the song structures and playing style of Blasphemy, but that slower pace, and murky, bass-heavy guitar sound that Corpse Molestation had on Descension of a Darker Deity. The speed range that Demonomancy tends to focus on gives them more heaviness, and doesn’t diminish their attack in the least. While most of the bands that were spawned by Blasphemy’s unholy influence tend to blast and grind their way through albums, the varied velocities that Demonomancy uses on this LP gives the music some much needed diversity, which their peers often lack. It’s not the standard Black/Grind that most fans of Blasphemy might be looking for, but it’s still a potent brew of bludgeoning and caustic Black/Death Metal.
