HEAVYDEATH is a doom death metal duo formed by Johan Backman (Necrocurse, ex-Runemagick) and Nicklas Rudolfsson (Necrocurse, Rapid Terror, Runemagick, The Funeral Orchestra) and this is their first recording.
Demo I was self-released in early 2014 in an initial tape run of 35 copies. Subsequently, Heavydeath released a second run of 30 copies.
Demo I was conceived as a four-track recording; an intro, two dense doom death metal tracks and an instrumental at the end. Heavydeath's sound is highly idiosyncratic; obscure and almost spacey. There is a strange and unique vibe to these songs and there is a melodic undercurrent that infects their music and seems to want to escape the conventionalities of the metal genre.
CALIGARI RECORDS is proud to announce the release of this first demo in pro tape and pro cover. Limited to 100 copies. This reissue will contain a bonus track, an alternate version of "A Long Obscure Trip", the central track of Demo III, which will also be released by the label in the months to come.
