DVP 142 Midas – Demo Tapes LP/CD

MIDASdemoscover-300x288.jpg


DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the first two demos of MIDAS on vinyl LP format under the title Demo Tapes.

Hailing from the mean streets of Detroit, MIDAS are a four-piece band of hard rock warriors. Theirs is an ancient, time-lost sound, recalling rock ‘n’ roll’s first transitions into proto-metal during the hazy, crazy ‘70s. But, MIDAS are not simply retro-retread plagiarists looking to (hazily, lazily) replicate the past; this era and style of music BURNS within them, and it bursts forth with effervescence and excitement across their two demos to date.

Both released during 2019, MIDAS’ Solid Gold Heavy Metal and Still Hungry each feature four effervescent, exciting songs, and both trounce most bands regular recordings. Brimming with a startling, stultifying confidence, Solid Gold Heavy Metal (which occupies Side A of this DYING VICTIMS vinyl edition) patiently builds eldritch grooves guided by narrative lead work. There’s a subtle yet no-less-dazzling mysticism here recalling earliest Scorpions, Judas Priest, and even trio-era Thin Lizzy – just witness the demo’s eerily breathtaking closer, “Blackened Blade” – as well as subsequent legends Manilla Road and Cirith Ungol. The heavier stylings of the latter begin to come to the fore on Still Hungry, here occupying Side B. Now fully into late ‘70s heavy metal mode, MIDAS move beyond the moodiness of their first demo to more epic and fantastical landscapes, kicking up the octane and cruising into the night with the ever-aptly titled “Street Knights.” Together, both demos could verily hold together as an exceptionally tight ‘n’ thematic album-length work.

DYING VICTIMS couldn’t be more excited to unleash the majesty ‘n’ mysticism of America’s MIDAS to a worldwide audience. Take a trip back in time – and into the future – with Demo Tapes!

Regular edition on black vinyl, with insert, poster, sticker, post card and download code.

Der erste Song!
 
Stimmt! Dying Victims hat sich zu ner echten Institution für ehrlichen und gleichzeitig interessanten traditionellen Metal gemausert. Ne Combo, die dieser Tage schon nen gewissen Seltenheitswert hat. :top:
 
Auch das hier klingt richtig stark, obwohl ich mit 70er Einflüssen eigentlich nie warm werd. Muss meine Meinung zu DyingVic dann doch langsam mal korrigieren, hat man in dem Hause doch langsam bissl den Riecher für interessante Sachen.

Obwohl schon seit einer Ewigkeit in meinem Besitz, habe ich mich die letzten Tage dann auch endlich einmal intensiver und mit großer Freude mit den beiden Demos befasst. Was ich im Zuge dessen unbedingt loswerden muss: Dieser unfassbar lässig runtergeknüppelte Tempowechsel zu Beginn und vor der letzten Strophe von "Usurper" (ganz oben im Thread verlinkt) ist einfach eine Sensation! Überhaupt ist das Zusammenspiel von Bass und Schlagzeug auf allen Songs eine Wucht. Freue mich schon darauf, mir dann demnächst auch mal das Debütalbum vorzuknüpfen.
