Demon Head - Ride the Wilderness (Caligari Records)
On number 20 of the Top Prog and Metal records for 2015, we have a debut! This is the first full length release of Demon Head! Originally formed in 2012 in Copenhagen, it took them 3 years to release their debut - in the interim releasing two demos and a single - but boy was it worth it! This record is in the vein of 70's rock/doom as Graveyard, which also happened to release an excellent new record this year, but in my opinion the new Demon Head is better! These Danes are slower and heavier than Grave, while at the same time retaining a level of grooviness, not unlike Black Sabbath The vocals have a certain "Dooresque" manliness with doom overtones, the guitars and keyboards evoke the best of 70s "Doomliness" and the production is as "dirty" as needed to make this sound authentic without compromising its quality. I cannot recommend these guys enough! It is definitely one of the best records of the year and I can't wait to hear what they have in store in the future.
