Free Metals: Serpents Lair - Demo MMXIV

Danish black metal band Serpents Lair released Demo MMXIV  a few months back, and if these guys keep making music like this, our future could be very dark, indeed.

Despite having only two tracks and clocking in at about 15 minutes, Demo MMXIV  is well worth your time, and if you've got time to kill, put it on repeat.

"Labyrinthine Offerings" begins with a rather doomy intro before quickly evolving into black metal destruction. The vocals, in particular, stand out immediately. This has nothing to do with the level of difficulty, but it's the manner in which the vocals add to the organized chaos.

The more I hear "Epistemology of Death," the more I'm reminded of Drudkh. This song's not as immediate as its counterpart, but it might actually have more to offer over time.

Demo MMXIV  is available from the Serpents Lair bandcamp page for the "Name Your Price" option and can be downloaded here.
