Demon – Unbroken Review

Stoke based Rock legends return with their first album since 2005’s “Better the Devil You Know”, and it shows that in the 7 years we have waited for “Unbroken” that a band of Demon’s stature can only get better and “Unbroken” is a statement to this.

“Unbroken” opens in true Demon style, going for the throat with the opening track “Prey”, a track that would fit easily on “Night of the Demon” (Demon’s Debut Album.) Songs like “Shine a Light”, “Fill Your Head with Rock” and “Private Lives” are straight up, balls to the wall hard rock songs that portray Demon’s style as a NWOBHM band perfectly, a showcase of skill, phenomenal vocals and well written and structured material.

The Title track is a testament not only to the band themselves but also their song writing skills. It highlights why this band is still around and still very much relevant in this day and age.

“Take Me to Your Leader” vividly paints a story of the future, that whilst being rooted deeply in science fiction it instils hope in the listener and gives a sense of comfort that the future is going to be “alright”.

The Album ends on a high and hopeful note, every fan of rock music dreams of a day when rock rules the world. No one believes this more than Dave Hill and Co. with “I Still Believe” and with an album like “Unbroken” it’s easy to see such a future and I for one hope Demon are still around to see it.
