Demon Head play a kind of proto-doom in a way that reminds me a lot of early Pentagram. However they sound more like a contemporary band with more or less the same influences rather than a modern band trying to rip them off.
They have moments of pure brilliance like the chorus in "Undertaker" or the break and following verse in the middle of "Three".
The production has the right retro sound for this kind of music, even the vocals sound like they were recorded before Bobby Liebling started looking like the living dead. The sound works really well with the material and every instrument is clearly audible. The guitar has a warm and crunchy tone which really hits the spot for me.
If you like old Pentagram and/or Witchcraft then this is really something worth checking out. It's a very well executed take on the retro-doom thing that a lot of other bands are trying to do with lesser results. The demo is free on the Demon Heads bandcamp so you've got nothing to lose, go ahead and download it now!
