    It's disputed whether this is the bands most despised record. However the band took an opportunity to take in some distant influences, grind them down and present them here with a big bang. Arguably the groups darkest effort and it takes a stranglehold on the listener and doesn't let go until the grooves end on side two. These are the last of the original press. When they're gone you cry.

about

"While their twin guitar battering fell neatly in line with world
champion rawkists like Hellacopters and Turbonegro, Demons
always were more sinister than their hedonist compatriots. On this
psyched-out epic, they take it all the way, balancing their tasty
greaser rock with a pitch black world view."
CLASSIC ROCK

"The band calls it their "Frankenstein's monster having its revenge on the world". Since touring with The Hellacopters (who covered the "DEMONS" song Electrocute on their final LP Head Off) they've taken to the wide open chords of "Edgar Allan Poetry" and the fat hollow body sound of "Don't Bite the Ju Ju Hand" where Carlssons voice gets as ragged as his guitar. Personal favorite is "Dark End of the City", a frantic pile driving tune sheltered in a "condemned house for condemned souls".Absolutely brilliant!"
THE CUTTING EDGE

"DEMONS" usually operates within the fading Scandinavian Rock movement, which they spearheaded and was part of from the very beginning. On this release however they prove that they can do whatever they want musically and get away with it. It's still loud, raw rock'n'roll but with a darker, and very original edge. They manage to channel dystopian subjects, garage rock, hardcore, 70's hard rock, post punk and even surf rock in one sitting."
SYNTAX ERROR

"First off, this is about dirty rock 'n' roll, which the band themselves
want to be an alternative to the shallowness in today’s society. To me
this is just that, as all good rock music should be"
JOCKE 13

"This band has been banging out record after record with high quality punk rock'n'roll of the sort you get from Electric Frankenstein, Supersuckers, New Bomb Turks et cetera. This album however is a tad different. It's still a banger of course, just different."
FANG SCENE

"The last two songs really make me want to take out my knife."
ROCK THE CAM

-----------------------------------------------------------

Exploring dystopian subjects, the dark side of psychedelia and ugly forms of '50s and '60s subcultures, "Demons" has cooked up a gumbo that is Scarcity Rock. The band wanted to make an album that they felt was needed in 2010. Something that was totally opposite the lack of depth in today's superficial culture, something brooding and disturbing. They dove deep into the dirtier aspects of their roots, looking for different emotions and digging their way six feet down to find them.

The "dark album" was a stiff middle finger to everything but also and end of sorts since the band took a long break afterwards. It's something else. Devides the rock crowd for sure.
