Swedish metal veterans Pressure are back teasing their upcoming EP with the lead single Demonic Oath. Summing up what Demonic Oath is all about, the band released the following statement
“Among the dark creatures of the night, there has always been a fascination among us for Demons. What drives them? Are they as evil as some want us to believe or are they just another type of being, driven by the flames, proud and full of all the emotions we have?”
So let’s dig deeper into it to get a taste of what Pressure have in store.
Demonic Oath opens with a tribal groove and a subtle prayer that directly takes us into a heavy theatrical verse. The riffs are attacking and extremely dynamic with vocal melodies laying an expressive story-telling layer over the music, with the diverse deliveries and changes in flow and pace introducing something new to the mix as we move forward, keeping things fresh and interesting. It has a solid dynamic structure as usual, with Pressure’s significant dramatic twists and turns and catchy hooks that keep you hooked and entertained. Demonic Oath has an unstoppable driving groove that carries its melodic flow and solidly supports its energetic riffs, adding a deep hard-hitting base to its highly melodic sound.
Demonic Oath is a very clever pick for the lead single by Pressure, it promises a lot of their upcoming EP as they are clearly refining their sound and progressing more in their writing and production, pushing their energy and boundaries further. I’m always looking forward to more from Pressure, keep on rocking guys. Cheers!
