M
sapron
y name is Vladimir Cincović. Sapron as the name I chose because is about a demon that is itself a mysterious guardian of truth, forests and animals, This blog was created out of love for music, because I deal with a lot of music, and I love a lot music, and writing so I decided with my girlfriend Ajatara to create this blog, I write because I want people to see what I see myself in the music, and that readers have a complete feeling of reading my reviews, columns and so on, I want readers who are not familiar themselves with metal world as the metal is a superior and quality music, as well as those who listen to metal to throw complete atmosphere and that among other things, inprove my texts, interesting and special, as well as for metalheads, and for those entering the world of metal, favorite genre of my is black metal.Black metal is the only genre that can convey the truth about evil and darkness in the right way as the only alarm consciousness through the influence of Satanism, the evil and everything else. My main goal is to attract people to metal music, and that people get better acquainted with metal music, this blog will enable this and of course I’ll always wish that the readers properly understand the music, and to accept it.

egendary American alternative metal band has realised a new album that is all but good it is very bad .On this album it can be immediately be noticed division of musical presentations of the band, in one part of the album they remained true to themselfs, nd a bigger part of the album has a commercial approach to music, also it can be noticed a lot of generic sound that blends with electronic music and sound chaotically and there is no metal as a genre, and eventhere is no metal sound too on this album. The technical way of playing is solid and almost brought to an ideal, precisely because of this generic sound,acoustics are great and the production is fenomenal.On this album it can also be heard a infuence of pop music, the band wanted to do something different to get more attention and to be commercial. In some moments they remained true to themselfs, but not sufficiently in the right way and album is a genre disaster. Also they are lower songs and by that not only one ballad song but almost the hole album. Also on the album they returned to their classic approach to music but still a partial with a generic electronic muziku.Texts are great as always, this is a band that is known for its good texts, but even that will not help to gain a better impression of the album also it can help the vocalist of the album who is one of the best vocalists in the metal scene, and music.This album takes you into the world of love, hate, suffering, pain, truth , darkness, good and evil, the band wanted with this album to convey life itself as love is a good thing and of course the painful truth of this world as a bad thing.Disturbed is a band that has always been a specific and special band always had something of their own in music but with this album they lost thier authenticity and their status as the best new age alternative metal band.

he legendary American rock and heavy metal band released an album that is absolutely phenomenal in every sense. It shows a real and true power of the music itself as well as a heavy metal too. On this album it can be readily observed that the band is fully technically incorporated , and that it remained fully true to themselfs and their musical presentation, acoustics are great and the production is phenomenal. This album takes you into the world of heavy metal in its best glory at the end of 70’s and beginning 80’s when the music had real meaning and when people listened to music because they loved it and enjoyed it not to judge others because there are listening to other music and to what they listen. Band that is traditionally good, the legends that is sad to say that almost no one has heard of them, but everywhere there is thier influence in metal music, primal superiour musicians and a true heavy metal in its full release and glory.

egendary British rock heavy metal band released a new album, which is a mixture of all the best of the rock music and heavy metal too at much lesser degree this time, the album is a solid not phenomenal and do not show the true potential of this legendary band.
O
n this album it can be noticed the technical compliance of which is brought to the ideal by which the band is known of and for great acoustics and phenomenal production that is of course present on this album. This album takes you into the world of the occult, apocalypse, truth, darkness, evil, despair, destruction.
T
his band stayed true to themeselfs to some extent but not sufficient cause the album made to be a rock album, but they put their standard heavy metal sound to it and is also consistency of their musical presentation is present, essentially a mixture of high-quality rock and heavy metal music that is integrated ideal, but there is more rock music than they should be, also it can be observed the influence of atmospheric and acoustic music that is also ideally integrated with the rest of the album.
I
ron Maiden is a band that is very famous for going over the barriers and borders in every thought and I in the intellectual way also,legendary band that made its reputation with good music and stories, on this album this exacty thing can be felt too, but not in excessive measure, phenomenal texts as always are on this album too which the band themeselfes are know of, but too much rock music, brings the guestion will this band be again a heavy metal band, in essence a real rock and metal release in every sense something different but sounds good, rock and metal music at its full strength, together joing forces to concure the world this time.

he German -Norwegian symphonic metal band Leaves Eyes released a new album, which is a kind of return to the previous musical direction that suits more Liv Kristine. rom the first notes of this album it is clear that there is an extremely good and well-rounded project. As I previously indicated Liv finally returned vocal in place that best suits her soprano voice, which is the whole album taken up for many steps upwards.
T E T L
echnical perfection and perfect acoustics are things that adorn this band for many years now, so that the default things here.
xuberance and splendor of Baroque and Renaissance music, which is the main denominator of all the songs on this album, the listener takes away in a long gone world of nature, the simple life, revenge and love. his is just one of the great bands that proves to be the precursor of metal actually baroque because the aggressive generic riffs somehow add themselves to the complex forms of Baroque shares. eaves Eyes is this album confirmed their place in today’s symphonic scene, and their main weapon, Liv, shines again in full splendor.

egendary American technical death metal band released an album that is in every sense an indicator of how awesome death metal genre is and how it should be. A demonstration of superiority in the technical way of playing that is ideal, acoustics are great and the production is phenomenal. On this album it can also be noticed that they as a band remained consistend to themselves, and there musical presentation, also on the album it can be noticed the influence of atmospheric music but very little in one song. Nile is a band that has its specific name and authentic music attracted a lot of attention and there place is with the most influence and best death metal bands, and that their stories and texts in their songs are about Egypt, and calling themselves Nile as the river Nile so because of that they are different from other death metal bands, primal death metal band that can be rarely heard and fully retained their status as a death metal legends and they will be for a long time.

The vocal of the band is very unusual and specific even for this genre of metal music, and also this album has a lot of influence of heavy metal as well of course.This album takes you into the world of death, destruction, apocalypse, evil, dark, war.Soul Collector is anonymous band and deserves a lot of attention from the audience, a real thrash metal band .This is in every sense a true original metal music .This band is a indication why should people listen to thrash metal and why people should listen to metal music in general, a true original thrash metal band in all of its glory and power.

did not allow photography of them, because of that,that someone would took copyrights from them, which is understandable but on the other hand it is not, did they deny the fans of the memories of the concert.The sound was great not too loud nor too bad, the band played lined its best and songs.In the air it could be felt a lot of weed, which is smoked in unlimited quantities, as well as alcohol, which the fans in the mood and euphoria threw in the audience, a real rage, hedbanging everywhere there were mospits but not so many ,in the half of the concert the fans were tired and the atmosphere was calmer and static, then the singer raised atmosphere and the audience awake a little bit, before he delivered a speech about the Pantera guitarist Dimebag Darrell, and that they were long-time friends and that they were together for months on Tour with Machine Head along with Pantera, describing how much he miss him and that one moment before could change all that Dimebag would be still alive , And that they started with music and with a song that is dedicated to Dimebag Darell, since it was a dayof anniversary when he was killed before a long time ago a few years back , and before that he asked fans do they khow about Dimbebag Darells death and stated that they know , thunderous applause dedicated to Dimebag Darell came form public, and that the singer asked the crowd to go crazy in the name of Dimbeg Darell .
The concert has coninued
raw and devastating the audience each time wanted more and called the band and chanting Machine Fucking Head, and that at one point had been performed some slower songs as well that the audience khow these songs and enthusiastically followed the band singing along with the band, a singer asked each time the crowd if they want more and the reply was yes loudly , and so the band played 3 data without resting and came down from the stage and fans were pleased with the substantial number but there were also those who came purely to be said that they were there, in essence phenomenal concert which the audience spoiled with thier static attitude in some moments of the concert, but it did not stop the band to hold phenomenal concert and to show why this band was among the best in the metal scene in general and that and they toured with Pantera and they were friends also, great atmosphere, and everything you need a fantastic metal concert to be .

dom z Wi e g a v Sa . ginning A New Be 1. How the band started? The band was started in 2004 by our singer, Steve Montoya. Steve had just come off of ten years of driving trucks across the country and missed his days of fronting a metal band so he assembled a new group. The band released their debut CD in late 2007 and then disbanded shortly after. Steve decided to reform it in early 2008 and we have been at it ever since. Seven years after the debut CD, we released our second full-length; A New Beginning. 2. Which band is your role model? Probably either Iron Maiden or Helloween and really for the same reasons. Both bands have incredible songs based around great melodies, great playing, singing, hooks etc. But they also have a fun element to them as well and don’t take themselves any more seriously than they need to. When you watch a Helloween or Iron Maiden show, it reminds you of why you wanted to do this to begin with. 3. What do You think about today’s metal scene? It’s a mixed bag. The veteran acts like Maiden, Helloween, Priest, Scorpions, Stratovarius etc. are still up there killing it. But as far as the newer bands go, it’s not really our cup of tea. There are some bands like Ghost that are kind of interesting, but for the most part I just don’t understand the appeal of some of the modern metal bands. I just saw that Five Finger Death
Punch’s new CD outsold the new Iron Maiden album during it’s first week of release here in the States. What is up with that??? I don’t understand why dumb bro metal is outselling the real deal. The new Maiden album is outstanding! Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate that there seems to be regenerated interest in musicians and people who can actually play but I don’t understand why that doesn’t apply to the singers. When I see some guy up onstage flexing his arms and trying to look like a tough guy, I think it’s kind of juvenile. Sing dude! Enough with the wannabe tough guy shit. 4.How would you describe in one sentence your work? We are a band that wants to inspire, uplift and entertain people. 5. Why did you decide to play this musical direction? I think we have all just been drawn to metal since we first started playing music. With regards to this particular genre of metal, I think we all appreciate good melodies and songs that make you want to raise your fist in the air and sing along to. There is something about metal that has a way of bringing people of all walks of life together. There is definitely a sense of “you and I can conquer the world.” Everyone has their individual problems that they have to deal with, but melodic metal has a way of making you forget about all of that for a minute and just
55
enjoy life. At the very least, it is a release and an escape from those problems for just a little while. It can really be quite empowering. 6. Where would you most like to play a concert? Anywhere? Probably Wacken in front of thousands of people and supporting some of our idols and heroes with a huge stage and a huge sound system. I think that would be quite the adrenaline rush. 7. Do you think that the metal festivals are enough visited? In Europe there seems to be quite a following for metal festivals. It’s very cool to see. Here in the States it’s quite a bit different though. We have the Rockstar Mayhem Fest and that usually does pretty well attendance wise but that seems to mostly by a festival for newer bands. Granted this last year it was headlined by Slayer and King Diamond, but usually it features a lot of newer metal bands. Bands like Helloween, Stratovarius, and Gamma Ray that may play in front of huge audiences in Europe come here to the States to tour and play to a few hundred people a night. The closest that we have is ProgPower which is based out of Atlanta, GA every year but I really wish that we had something on the scale of Wacken over here in the States. 8. What are you listening to the most right now? The new Iron Maiden album; Th Book Of Souls. I absolutely love it! Here you have a band that has been around for 35+ years, has released 16 studio albums, and still manages to come up
Demon reports
with material of that quality. It just amazes me. That album has not left my car stereo since it was released almost two weeks ago. 9. What would you say to your fans? Thanks for taking time to check out our music and thanks for the support. We know that we are just one of many out there in the underground metal scene so hopefully we have been a good find for you. Please feel free to drop us a line on our Facebook page. We would love to hear from you. 10. What are your plans for the future? Currently we are working on some new songs. We have two finished already and everything is sounding great. Hopefully it won’t be another seven years before the next CD is released, but we are taking our time and trying to produce the best material that we can. In the meantime, we will certainly be out playing gigs around the southwestern part of the States and we hope to make some new friends and fans along the way.

Comaniac
where ay l p to We want are heads l meta 1. How the band started? Hi there! It’s Comaniac, the frenzy Thrash Metal Band from Switzerland! We started the mania back in 2010 as a two-men-group and more as a school project than a “real” band. It took us 2 years to finally get a cool band together as in 2012 Doom (lead guitar) and Ray (bass) joined the band. After two demos and a single release we had our first full length album out in February 2015 (Return To The Wasteland). And now we’re here with you, having the possibility to present ourselves! Thanks Demon Reports, we’re so ready!!! 2. Which band is your role model? We couldn’t mention one band to be our role model! We love many metal bands from various music genres and they all had an influence on us. what we definitely adore are bands who managed to stay in the same line up for their whole career, through great and hard times. but also “bands” who are more like a “one-guygroup-and-the-others” like Annihilator are in one way inspiring that they (or in this case he) never stopped doing what he loved and started over and over again with new musicians. our goal is to find our own way and our own satisfaction in music. We know this is a very high goal but this is what we want. We’re working hard every day to find our way. 3. What do You think about today’s metal scene?
We cannot say it sucks because we’re a part of it and give our best to keep it interesting and exciting. on the other hand for us the scene got a little “muddy” with a lot of bands around us. We know there are great new bands out there but it’s fucking difficult to find them! so it’s kind of a pity this whole “revival” and “reunion” thing came up some years ago which gives the taste of not having enough good young bands to arise so the industry had to recruit the “old” ones. We’re not saying it’s a bad thing in general because we all enjoyed seeing the big 4 live together or bands like Toxik and Coroner. It just made it harder to find some new bands. But we know they’re around…so don’t give up discovering them! 4.How would you describe in one sentence your work? We try to be as innovative as possible. but to be realistic Thrash Metal is one of the most challenging genres to be innovative. And every review we got understood our music as classic old school bay area thrash metal. and that might be true because that’s what influenced us the most until this day. but still we want to develop our own music style. but that takes time, no question. just think about all the great bands back then and now. they all had to release a few albums and go through many years of hard work to find their style. 5. Why did you decide to play this musi-
57
cal direction? It just came out this way naturally. It was never a decision but more like an instinct. when we picked up our instruments this was what came out: frenzy thrash metal with come cool harmonics and melodies here and there! it’s the speed and the variety which makes thrash metal interesting to us! 6. Where would you most like to play a concert? We want to play where metal heads are and where we get the chance to feed the people with our music to get into that thing which some people call “flow” or “state of trance”. We don’t care where, we don’t care when! it’s the moment which counts! 7. Do you think that the metal festivals are enough visited? Well…yes sure! I mean they’re always as much visited as they’re promoted and as much as the bands speak for theirselves. And as much as the people are interested in going there. We’re all the dirty guys, the ones who love the long nights, the loud music and the great people at the festivals. So those are the people joining the festivals. for all the “softies” there’s youtube and TV to watch the festivals…that’s just how it is nowadays…fine with us. 8. What are you listening to the most right now? Symphony X, Opeth, Dream Theater and Control Denied are the bands which have the most airplay at our flats! You see, we love the variety
Demon reports
metal can serve! 9. What would you say to your fans? That they are awesome! We mean really: there’s nothing better than a crowd which are ready to give 100 percent for the band and joining our shows. we cannot thank them all personally for their support but we hope we can through our music! 10. What are your plans for the future? Working on our own style as mentioned before. that’s our biggest goal and the biggest satisfaction for ourselves! so that comes in hand with new music material and of course - sooner or later - with a new album. but first of all we tank our tanks of aggression, inspiration and mania at our live shows! at the end of the day this is what lets us feel alive and well! so we just go on playing live and spreading the mania. Feel free to join if anyhow possible, we’d love to meet you at our shows! Thanks, Comaniac!!!

, fast e liv , Mosh hard w tomorro thrash without 1. How the band started? We started as a cover band back in 2001. Teenagers back then when Alex, George and me (IronBeast) teamed up. 2. Which band is your role model? All bands of the primal genre’s age that formed the sound we worship. Too many to mention! 3. What do You think about today’s metal scene? Too many bands, very few really worthy, too little time to listen
to all as well.. 4.How would you describe in one sentence your work? A savage thrashing posercrushing and jawbreaking audio blast, respecting the oldschool ways and sound. 5. Why did you decide to play this musical direction? Thrash is the fastest music a human neck can follow. Plus it’s aggressive, enraged and it’s themes suits our ways of life. 6. Where would you most
59
like to play a concert? Not vast crowds or fancy stages. A small but active -family bloodlust audience is the best to play for. 7. Do you think that the metal festivals are enough visited? I think it could attend more audience, but since the number of fests. are more than plenty, the numbers are high. 8. What are you listening to the most right now? Still exploring the 80ies and 90ies released of thrash/death metal mostly. Sometimes we listen to new releases though, but we focus on the past. I guess we remain romantic/nostalgic‌

We have some gigs at hand domestic and abroad, as well as some composing/recording plans. Plus a split release with an equivalent age and style band from the US (cannot reveal yet).

…just w kno en v I don’t e ay! want to pl 1. How the band started? Doctor: In the middle of 2009 I met Gennadiy (Sorrowfire) our future guitar player. We both were studying in medical university. He was influenced with my mysical tastes and he bought an electric guitar and started to play it. Then we found drummer Ilya (Sturmtrommel) and Ivan (Bathone) on bass. They was my old kith. In april 2010 we started to rehearse. 2. Which band is your role model? Doctor: An old-school MDM bands,like A Canorous Quintet, Eucharist,Sacrilege from Sweden,Dies Irae from
Mexico,and others 3. What do You think about today’s metal scene? Doctor: The scene is very varied,and each listener will find something to their liking. Though,on the other hand,to surprise the experienced listener becomes more and more difficult. 4.How would you describe in one sentence your work? Doctor: It’s melodiously,it’s heavy,generally it’s fast,but sometimes slow :о) 5. Why did you decide to play this musical direction?

Doctor: I listen old school melodic death or melodic black. Sacramentum,Ablaze My Sorrow. Sometimes something more modern, such as Black
