"...It's definitely a strong release and the output of these musicians can be described only by their professional skills in such music. They created the atmosphere of a very unique heavy sound here. The dynamic and complex riffing of the guitarists makes the bases of their songs. Musically, this three track EP is very closed to the METALLICA's "Master Of Puppets" and "...And Justice For All" eras. However DAEMOS is a lot better. My fave song is "Two Deaths" with its intense song-structure and quite well-played solos. Nevertheless the tracks "My Dying God" and "On The Rocks" kicks ass as well. Fans of Heavy and Thrash Metal don't waste your time to check this great material out 'coz DAEMOS is worthy of interest."

"I'm definitely impressed with this debut work of American band Daemos, including a great production...The CD has almost 20 minutes of good thrash/groovy metal like Pantera, but with more melody in their guitars and a vocalist in James Hetfield's style."

"Here's one that surprised me. Daemos is a four-piece out of San Diego, CA....These guys are intense! Their debut EP features only three songs, but it left me clamoring for more."
"Daemos are a thrash band, pure and simple. Imagine Ride The Lightning-era Metallica crossed with Tool's Opiate EP. What you get from that marriage is monstrously heavy metal, old-school thrash crossed with an unabashed heaviness and intelligent song structure. Each of these three songs will get your head grooving and your feet tapping, wishing you were at a live show witnessing this in person. Very impressive stuff. Now all these guys need to do is get signed and record a full-length album, because they are definitely going somewhere."

"Daemos are an unsigned band from San Diego, California. They have been around now for about 5 years and are making some noise in the L.A. scene. Of all the bands I have seen at the Whiskey A-Go-Go in Hollywood over the last few years, I was highly surprised by this band. They were actually good. The Whiskey is known for booking horrible bands that just play noise and garbage. Not Daemos...They have a unique sound which makes them stand out among the rest. The guitar harmonies are quite good as well as the drummer who provides the band with that charactersitic sound. The vocalist is a cross between Tom Araya (Slayer)and Sean Killian (Vio-lence) Drop by their website and check them out for yourselves."

DAEMOS - 3 SONG SAMPLER CD
INDEPENDENT RELEASE
I admit to being friends with Vic and the rest of Daemos, having had the opportunity to see their live shows and hang out with them. They are impressive purveyors of technical thrash metal on stage. I was very keen to hear their first new recording since I had met them. The three songs on this sampler make some bold musical statements and serve to really define the Daemos sound. From the first few seconds of new song Iodine the statement is made We are thrash! But after a couple minutes, I could hear that these guys have gone further than the classic thrash sound, incorporating modern influences such as Korn, Rage Against the Machine and System of Down. You can hear it in the voice as well as the guitar and drum bashing. But Daemos adds something more to the mix, their own flair for rhythm and arranging that is not just a simple mix of classic thrash and modern hard core. There are syncopations and rhythm lines that really expose the bands musicality. The second track Reflection incorporates some dynamic changes, further adding to the depth of the music with some clean guitars and a gentle wah wah lead line. The production of the demo is of above average quality, studios. They were able to capture their unique feel without muddying the sound with effects and heavy layering of instruments. Daemos has done an excellent job of combining influences old and new, and applying their own twist to their music, giving it an identity that will help Daemos stand out from the thrash quagmire.i
