I heard DR 5 years ago, when they released their debut-‘DEMONSTEALER’; it was a weak outing, comparing it to bands playing symphonic black metal here in Asia. All that ‘Demonstealer’ could do for young Sahil (vocals/guitar) was, provide an immense confidence… Read More Demonic Resurrection – A Darkness Descends
