Demencia - No Mas Dioses Ni Demonios (2022)


In this 2022 release Demencia is back with fkn vengeance. The music is, per usual, 100% rip your face off aggressive. Vocals completely insane, riffs are intense, complex, and ever changing. And Drummer s is an absolute wildman. The production is just flawless. From blistering start to lumbering finish, "No Mas Dioses Ni Demonios" weaves a dark tail of political dissension. Every track leads us in a different direction via impetuous droning of guitars and a subversive vocal assault. Throughout the album, the blistering angry guitar droning is a dominant feature. Here and there, the guitars will slow down into more of a grinding thrash sections, The first part of "Son Corruptos" exemplifies this with some great crunching riffage to bang your head to before disappearing in a sea of blazing low tuned grindcore horrors. The drumming on this particular song could not be done any better from the opening roll cycling into furious bass hits interspersed with a fast paced assault on the wrists from the snares. The instruments mesh perfectly giving us headbanging tunes. Any avid Extreme enthusiast could not consider his collection and life complete, without owning and listening to this monumental album. This album demonstrates that this band is able to mature and improve radically in just a couple years, while still maintaining 100% of the aggression that defined their early releases. This album completely slays and belongs on the shelf next to your top Extreme albums!!
