Demonaz - March of the Norse
Former Immortal founding member Demonaz Doom Occulta graces us with his first ever solo affair. For those unfamiliar, Demonaz played guitar for the blizzard beasts up until 1997 when tendinitis ended his axe-grinding days. Since then he has been a lyricist, muse, and all around cheerleader for the band, even going out on tour with them. Now he has recruited former Immortal drummer Armagedda and Enslaved’s Ice Dale (guitars/bass) to finally bring us the long-awaited March of the Norse. As much as I want to get behind this release, it just falls flat. As far as riffs go, it’s basically Diet Immortal from the At the Heart of Winter era, or I Lite, while lyrically it owes much to Bathory when Big Q made the switch from Satan to Odin. But it’s neither the music or lyrics that ruin the record; it’s Demonaz’ horrible voice. He kinda sounds like the dude from Ratt, except not really even that abrasive. Maybe Dee Snider doing Manowar songs? I don’t know. It’s pretty gay though. Imagine Abbath’s voice with all of the bite, gravel and serpentine hiss sucked out of it. Man, nature must really have it in for this dude. Better stick to writing awesome lyrics and blowing fire in the mountains (not to mention helping fuck the hot groupie sluts).
