I was expecting some kind of over-the-top power metal album here, but Angel Black's Killing Demons is actually more in the traditional heavy metal mould with a slight modern vibe, and it's a lot of fun. More often than not I'm reminded of early '80s Judas Priest and I also couldn't help but think of Dio here and there. Throw in a bit of the heavier borderline glam bands for an additional dose of catchy vocals melodies such as on 'Black Heart.'
Seriously, that song sounds so much like it could have been released in the mid-80s that I had to double-check to make sure it wasn't a cover. Speaking of which, the album ends on a curious cover of 'Metal Gods' that sounds a bit like 'Holy Diver' at the beginning before getting to it.
Throws me off every time, and I love it.Killing Demons, like many albums these days, has that retro vibe that will appeal to fans of the '80s but also has some subtle modern touches. It has a good balance of heavy, hard-rocking songs and mellower ones, with a track order that makes the whole thing flow smoothly.
A very nice debut, and now the challenge for Angel Black is to at least keep it up at this level on the next album.

ANGEL BLACK doesn’t look to re-invent heavy metal, they clearly go after their fans with an aggressive assault for the ages.Watch their debut music video “Black Heart” at the following link:“The concept of Killing Demons is that everyone has some kind of demon.
Money, Drugs, Sex, Power. They can all be a demon if you let them. We feel we touched on a lot of them with the songs on the album. Strikeforce, touches on the armed forces that keep us a free world. Cyber Spy, talks about how much we let government into our private lives. Black Heart, is about those evil women that take you down. We play honest pure heavy metal from the heart and we think that Angel Black will be well received as a band that gives the fans what they expect.
