Deep, stoney, longview metal, Demons My Friends debut last month’s full-length bow where Pablo Anton-Diaz lays his head. Born after a South by Southwest 2022 metal showcase where the bandleader’s D.C. desert rockers Fellowcraft jammed with Mexico City stoners Qbo, Demons Seem to Gather finds the now local behavioral science researcher, plus bassist Luis Salinas and drummer Arturo Martinez, reverberating doom, nü metal, and grunge. If they sound ripe for a double header with Duel, blame that group’s guitarist Jeff Hanson, who produced the album at his Red Nova Ranch studios in East Austin. Invisible Orange labelmates Stone Nomads and Red Beard Wall support.
