ONWARD THEY MARCH, THE DAEMONS THEY RISE....
Established in 2014, Sydney’s Daemon Pyre, set out with a singular vision; to bring world class musical and artistic entertainment to heavy music fans, coupled with challenging subject matter that would encourage freedom of speech and bring rational discourse to the global Death Metal arena. Death Metal with a conscience, you might say. Thanks to regular touring with a diverse collective of heavy music artists, highly favourable reviews of their January 2015 debut album, and a live show that Heavy Mag referred to as “A dominant force, overly polite and humble, but excelling as one of Sydney’s best melodic death bands”, Daemon Pyre have swiftly risen to become an easily recognisable name across the Australian Heavy Music landscape and an in-demand live act. In less than two years, Daemon Pyre have completed multiple tours of Australia, performed on a number of Australian Mini Festivals, headlined a tour of Indonesia that took them across West and Central Java, and been invited to share the stage with some of the worlds best, including international heroes like The Haunted (SWE), Insomnium (FIN), Goatwhore (USA) and Australian touring elites like Psycroptic, King Parrot, Ne Obliviscaris, Truth Corroded, Hadal Maw, Orpheus Omega, Hand of Mercy, I Exalt, and a legion of other fantastic local acts. In addition to freqeuent radio airplay on a variety of stations, including the likes of Triple J, Andrew Haug Radio and Triple M Distortion, Daemon Pyre's debut video clip for the menacing “Misanthropic Parallels" recently aired nationally on Australia's longstay music program RAGE™ on the ABC. After a huge 2015-2016, the band announced in October 2016 that they had signed a world-wide Management deal with New York based firm, EXTREME MANAGEMENT GROUP, who's roster includes metal scene giants like Suffocation, Origin, Decrepit Birth, Cattle Decapitation, Cryptopsy, Atheist, Threat Signal, King Parrot and Rings of Saturn. Under the guidance of Matt Young (who is also frontman of live sensation, King Parrot), the band are pushing hard into 2017 with a new album underway and tours locked for the first quarter of the year. Two yet-to-be-released singles have been recorded already (click here to listen). Teaming with Lachlan Mitchell (The Amenta, Nazxul, Henry’s Anger, The Jezebels) and Shane Edwards (Northlane, Thy Art Is Murder, Hellions, Pete Doherty), as well as featuring blast wizard, Kevin Talley of Suffocation on drums, these new singles herald the next evolution in Daemon Pyre's sound as they work towards completion of their sophomore release. 2017 looks to be another big year for Daemon Pyre as they continue to excite Metal audiences with their brazen live shows and engaging brand of Euro-inspired Death Metal. |
