"Follow Your Nightmares" is DAEMON GREY's debut full-length, genre bending album, that the band has carved out of a distinct corner of multiple genres with hard-hitting songs that appeal to the most discerning fans as well as the metalhead that lives inside us all. DAEMON GREY's mantra? Follow Your Nightmares, it reminds us that true strength is attained not by chasing the light, but rather, by facing and transcending fear itself.
"The Throne Room" is a hart hitting electro metal intro. The real first track is "King of Sin" and sounds like the perfect description of DAEMON GREY. It's a nice Hard Rock track with a bit of electronics in the background. I must say I have been playing this one a lot lately and really adore it!
"Whiskey Devil Girl" sounds like the nickname if his spouse and is a cool rocker. I can hear some industrial influences in the vocals, although only during some passages. "Stoned And Alone" describes one of his bad habits and describes a bit his philosophy. The song mixes SEETHER and DEPECHE MODE with NICKELBACK, albeit sound wise.
"XXX" is an ode to the love of his life. The chorus is catchy and strong. It's a hard hitting song with a cool guitar lick and the perfect tempo, and this one should become a hit if pitched in the right way.
"Nature Of My Beast" mixes Rock with Metal (same with the vocals). This might be the time to use some fire spitting dildo's on stage. "Sworn To Black" is a false slow, with a bit of melancholia and some rage in it. The next one sounds a bit rawer and really brutal: "I Like The Taste Of Blood". Hence, it's a great song. "Isolated" sounds fragile and emotional and also refers to "Stoned and Alone". You can feel the despair and sadness. The song is clearly written from the deepest darkness of his own living. "Scream" starts like a mix between Techno and Industrial and even gets a poppy feel, until the song gets shredded by some screams and grunts and it becomes a bit more a track that comes close to SEPULTURA and MARILYN MANSON. A new twists gives it even a fragile moment, until the break out gives it again this raging feel.
