7th Angel – Demo

7th Angel
Demo
1989 (no label)
California, USA

  1. Tell Me
  2. Slave to Righteousness
  3. Song of Songs

Not much information on this demo, other than it was recorded at Tone Zone like a few other demos (Apostle immediately comes to mind). They started off with a power ballad (80s commercial metal style). But some of the flourishes tell you that this is a power or possibly traditional metal band. And sure enough, they come roaring back with the power metal in the second song. They still mix in acoustic guitars in the song, kind of the way Riot and bands like that could mix the two back in the day. They continue the aggression into the last song as well, although it is a bit more commercial in nature. They also have a 1988 demo with these three songs (in a different order) and a 4th heavy song called “I Will See You in Heaven.”
