| Featuring three Therion members, Demonoid’s debut album is a grand feast for any Death and Black Metal headbanger into unbridled aural aggression and violence. Although this is virtually a Therion side-project, Demonoid’s technical thrashing brutality and blast beat craze is a distant cry from Therion’s symphonic brand of metal. Top-notch musicianship, intricate, eye-entrancing artwork and a raw exfoliation of emotions through death-like growls and sophisticated lyrics, Riders of the Apocalypse is primed and ready to please the metal masses.
