There's nothing more difficult than trying to find information on underground bands, except of course trying to find information on bands with common words as their name like UNDERGROUND. Released in April of 2014 UNDERGROUND released their "Demo 2014" consisting of 3 songs about horrors, serial killers and death! For those who are fans of IRON MAIDEN and JUDAS PRIEST, I suggest you stick around.
New Wave of British Heavy Metal was the start of everything in the Metal world, it's no surprise that bands are looking to emulate this but its not easy to find bands that do it well. UNDERGROUND must have found the Arc of the Covenant of the metal world, being a perfect example of what happened in the 80s. With shrieking and raspy vocals to display the power BRUCE DICKINSON and ROB HALFORD brought, guitar work that would share the podium with "British Steel" and "The Number of the Beast" and not to mention drumming that could easily match that of "Painkiller" and "Run to the Hills" you can have an idea of where this band is coming from. The killer highs that Mario Murgič absolutely dominate in "Burn in Fire". The lyrical idea of the dead skin mask, fictional and also completely real murderer Ed Gein is talked about in the song "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" the strength to this band is the powerful 80s influence and the ability to perform it well!
The power of the vocals, the shredding guitars, crushing bass and crashing drums are the only way to sum up what this band brings. Yet to be signed this independent band need to be found and offered one hell of a label, because UNDERGROUND's "Demo 2014" is a NWOBHM master piece, whatever that counts for being released in 2014!
