100 Demons to release reunion album and debut new song
Connecticut’s renowned hardcore band, 100 Demons, has solidified their reputation as one of the heaviest bands in history. Hailing from the late ’90s scene alongside Hatebreed, guitarist Sean Martin has been a significant presence in both bands. Despite only releasing two albums – 2000’s “Eyes Of The Lord” and their self-titled 2004 release – before going on hiatus, the impact of these records on the metalcore genre has been substantial. Recently, 100 Demons has been making a comeback with reunion sets at hardcore festivals, building anticipation for their first album in 22 years.
Set to release later this spring, 100 Demons’ upcoming LP, “Embrace The Black Light,” was produced by Greg Thomas of END and Misery Signals. Collaborating on the engineering process was Chris Teti from The World Is A Beautiful Place And I Am No Longer Afraid To Die. Additionally, Colin and Taylor Young, known for their work in bands like Twitching Tongues and God’s Hate, make a guest appearance on the track “Cold Wind Of The Crossroads.” This support from the Young brothers is significant, as they previously had a project called Eyes Of The Lord featuring ex-100 Demons singer Bruce LePage. A testament to their dedication to keeping the hardcore spirit alive, the two brothers showcased their musical prowess in their 2019 album. Nowadays, Pete Morcey has taken over vocal duties for 100 Demons, maintaining the band’s energy as their frontman.
100 Demons have released a raw and visceral new track titled “Meat For The Beast.” This song exudes power with its intense vocals and a touch of ’80s thrash influence in the guitar riffs. It is a track that demands to be played at maximum volume, making it an instant standout in their discography. Alongside this release, the band has announced upcoming shows, including dates in various cities across the country.
With a tracklist that promises an electrifying experience, “Embrace The Black Light” showcases 100 Demons’ evolution and commitment to their hardcore roots. The album includes tracks like “The Nightmare,” “Made For Nothing,” and “Spiritual Obliteration,” culminating in a collection that embodies the band’s signature sound. Embrace The Black Light is scheduled to drop on 6/5 via Closed Casket Activities, offering fans the chance to pre-order and experience the band’s latest sonic offering firsthand. Don’t miss the opportunity to witness 100 Demons’ return to the scene with their highly anticipated new album.
