Resurrection of Daemon (Brunei)

Daemon, formerly known as Daredevil, have confirmed indirectly that they will be resurrected from the ashes of black and death metal scene they once helped to forge in 1988. If they do, they may be the first old school metal band to have done so in decades.

First rumor appeared in Alam Kiamat Zine penned by Nonx (Betara Pendita) who is also a drummer for Brunei's death metal legend Grotesque. In the 3rd edition of Alam Kiamat published on July 2006, page 5; Daemon were rumored to have reunited and they did rehearse a couple of songs. In 2012, the band indirectly confirmed this when Muzik Box Productions have agreed to reissue their old demos while releasing their new materials.

This is nonetheless a great news for many a fan of underground metal, particularly those like myself who really want to learn the history of metal both foreign and domestic. Daemon, along with Inferior and Evilorator are some of the names that reverberated within Brunei underground metal scene. I can't wait to have the reissues of their early demos that are long out of print.
