FIDDLE WITCH & THE DEMONS OF DOOM
The latest Houston act to go Hollywood (sort of) is none other than this string-metal trio with a classical twist and sinister mien. A while back the Demons joined the roster of Domo Music Group, the L.A.-based label also home to a number of Japanese artists, among them New Age flute master Kitaro, house DJ M-Swift and avant-jazz group Jabberloop. A full-length FW release is due next month, following up the self-titled 2014 LP that helped them win Best New Act at last year’s HPMAs, but last week a taste of the madness to come arrived in the form of single “Midnight Mayhem.” Above is just a taste, because the full song (including a rare guest vocal by Jesse Madera) goes on for six and a half minutes of friction-fueled delirium. A trip to the dark side hasn’t been this much fun since The Empire Strikes Back. – CHRIS GRAY
