Take a look at this original DEMON 7” red translucent vinyl I bought many years ago! This was the debut single from DEMON, released back on August 5th, 1980, via Clay Records. (My source for the release date is from The Metal Archives website). The pressing amount for this DEMON debut vinyl single was 5,000!
“Liar” side
DEMON originated back in 1979, in Leek, Staffordshire, England. They are considered as one of the pioneering bands of NWOBHM.
From my research, the original members of DEMON, beginning in 1979, were: Dave Hill (vocals), Mal Spooner (guitars), Clive Cook (guitars), Paul Riley (bass) and John Wright (drums). Vocalist Dave Hill has been the only constant member over the decades and still present with DEMON.

DEMON have existed across 6 decades, with their most recent studio album, Invincible, releasing back on May 17th, 2024. A bonafide, persevering and legendary metal band! Metal be thy name! – Stone
Vancouver (BC) – Canadian Thrashers W.M.D. (When Minds Develop) will release Against All Warnings, the band’s second full-length album, June 5th, on vinyl, CD and digital formats.
A music video for the album’s first single, “Eyes of a Killer,” is available at:
Thematically, Against All Warnings concerns the constant human need for more, where nothing ever feels good enough, and people ignore every warning sign until everything starts to collapse. The album is also a reflection of W.M.D.‘s experience during the last few years: refusing to quit, getting angry at what the world really is, and trying to find their place in the middle of all of it. Every song comes from a different perspective on the chaos and pressure people are living through every day.
“The songs were built in the jam room first, so what you’re hearing is the exact pace, feel, and weight of what we created, while feeding off each other’s energy in the room. We wanted it to feel alive, raw, and honest. We’re proud of this record and stoked to finally share it with you.” – W.M.D.
Skyler Mills – Vocals/Guitars Jon Power – Bass Ryan Idris – Drums
