Demons & Harlots by Satan In Bondage
Demons & Harlots is a synth based album in experimentation.
After The Black Tie Affair EP, Michael Keller began drafting new songs that were synth based and contained no string instruments. These songs began to form the album Demons & Harlots. Recording began around late 2012 and most of the original tracks were lost around early 2013 due to a recorder malfunctioning. Songs that were lost due to recorder malfunction include ‘SSDD‘, ‘Six Feet Deep‘, and ‘White Witches At Black Mass‘. Many of the tracks were written for the soundtrack to a horror movie that never came to fruitation. A majority tracks on the finished product were recorded in the summer of 2013 and during the process of mixing, the multitracks to several songs from the original attempt at the album were found and placed on the album as well. The “lost and found” recordings of the original Demons & Harlots album include remakes of ‘Big Brother’, ‘Are You In The Wrong World’, a sequel to the song ‘Burn’ (which originally had more lyrics but the vocal tracks were lost on the additional verses), ‘Out Of Alibis’ (Originally had vocals tracks that were lost as well), ‘Living To Die’, and ‘Escargo’.
There will be a limited 20 cassette release of this album available at shows and eventually on bandcamp.
A reissue of this album with more instrumentation added will be available on a split with Weapon YZ in upcoming months. Demons & Harlots will be paired with Weapon YZ II (featuring live drums) for a special release of both albums.
