“Cemetery Junction” is the latest album from Demon, one of the initial NWOBHM bands, and is well worth checking out. It was released on 28th October via Plastic Head Distribution. “Cemetery Junction” is the fourth studio album to be released by Demon since they reformed in 2001; after a break of almost 10 years. I played the track “Turn on the Magic” on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 4th November and “Are You Just Like Me” is on the Show on 25th November.
“Chronicles of Aravan” is the sixth album from Spanish band DarkSun and this English language version was released by FC Metal on 28th October; following on from its release in their home country earlier in the year. Most of the tracks on the album tell the story of a warrior called Aravan and his revenge against those that burned his village and killed everyone. The track “Dragon Heart” was included on the NI Rocks A-Z Show on 11th October, “The Battle” was on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 4th November and “Broken Dreams” on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 18th November.

It seems strange looking back now, but in 1980 when I was first getting into rock music, Rainbow meant Graham Bonnet and Black Sabbath meant Ronnie James Dio! It was only when I started to actually learn about the bands that the bigger picture emerged! Mr Bonnet has of course been involved in numerous other things since his brief time in Rainbow. The most recent is The Graham Bonnet Band and the album “The Book” which was released by Frontiers Records on 4th November. The track “Into The Night” was included on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 11th November.
