The Fire and the Wind


The Fire And The Wind is the final album of the New Zealand Heavy metal band Demoniac, the only one to be recorded following their relocation to London. The black metal sound of the previous two albums was almost completely eschewed on this recording, with only vocalist Behemoth's shrieking vocals alluding to the genre. The music is otherwise very similar to DragonForce, the band Heimdall and Shred would go on to form after Demoniac's split.
The note progression in the DragonForce song Soldiers of the Wasteland's first sung portion is very similar to the note progression from 2:26 to 2:45 in the song The Eagle Spreads Its Wings.
