The 1985 Listening Post - Demon - British Standard Approved

Demon - British Standard Approved


#119
April 
Demon
British Standard Approved
Genre: Prog-metal
4 out of 5

Highlights:
Prxima
Wonderland 

So...abandoning the traditional metal or even just the metal they had embraced, Demon cones up with a strange prog-metal record, with act outs and synthesizers and I love every second of the first half. 
It’s goofy, weird, head banging fun. They have fully embraced their Pink Floyd dreams and run it hard (“Proxima”). 
By “New Ground” they sound nothing like the Demon we’ve come to know...the full Foreigner transformation is complete. 
Weird record from these guys. Total departure. Can’t imagine what Demon fans thought in 85.
