“The Isolate” is the result of a very personal exploration for the band members, who focused on trying to reflect through this song the high anxiety that they experienced as socially awkward teenagers many years ago. This song also seeks to introduce the audience to the thematic grounding that will be the foundation for their soon-to-be-announced sophomore release.
“Demons My Friends continues to be a therapeutic effort for all of us,” says guitarist/vocalist Pablo Anton. “With this new song we wanted to shine a light on our teen years. One of the best things from growing up is getting some perspective on the drama from our past, and looking back at events in our lives that were really overwhelming in the moment, but later mean absolutely nothing. It reflects how much of the drama in our lives can be mostly invented by our own minds, by our own demons, and live only inside us but they don’t exist in the real world and other people can’t even perceive them.”
As Heavy Music continues to evolve and shape-shift, new sounds emerge from future leaders of new genres and nothing is more apparent that the forthcoming debut album by Demons My Friends heralds the arrival of a major force to be reckoned with.
“Demons Seem To Gather,” the Austin, TX trio’s debut full length is a powerhouse hybrid of drop-tuned Grunge riffs, Doom structures, soaring melodies, groove-laden rhythms and Psychedelic harmonies. Sonic touchstones include Monolord, King Buffalo, All Them Witches, Soundgarden and Baroness, among others, but the band’s musicianship transcends most genre trappings.
Demons My Friends is comprised of members of Fellowcraft (Washington, DC) and the well-known Mexican Rock band QBO (Mexico City). Demons My Friends was born during an impromptu recording session at SXSW Festival 2022. The concept of the band explores the inner journey its members have embarked on since the onset of the COVID pandemic, confronting inner demons and battling anxiety, depression, self-doubt, and rage, while teaching themselves how to turn these demons into their “friends.”
The band’s 2023 debut album “Demons Seem To Gather” is available on LP, CD and download/streaming, released on September 8th, 2023 via Gravitoyd Heavy Music.
