Bio

Demons of Noon are a force of nature from Tamaki Makaurau. This cult doom band tunes low and hits like a sledgehammer to the chest.

In the troubled times of late-stage capitalism, their incantatory monkish chants, deep and sludgy riffs, and the ethereal tones of their maidens are the balm that you didn’t know you needed.

After coming out of nowhere with their debut EP The Summoning in 2020, Demons of Noon caught the ears of Poneke heavyweights Beastwars, who delivered them directly to a sold-out crowd at San Fran for a memorable first show. Beastwars were so impressed by this performance that they invited them along to decimate the Powerstation as well.

The 13th Floor caught the Powerstation show and called it “an impressive performance of disciplined battering heavy music and curiously uplifting”. For Kev Rowland, “there was no room for guitar solos, it was all about unrestrained raw doom power, dark and nasty with any lightness not staying for long”.

“Right from the off it was obvious everyone in the band was deeply into the music, living and breathing every power chord as their sludge-driven doom spread through the venue. There were times when the sheer striking of a riff meant the guitarist in question was doubled over, such was the power they were generating.”

Demons of Noon released their debut album Death Machine in 2023. Outlaws of the Sun called it "the type of debut album that doesn’t come along too often," and Decibel Magazine said that "down to the final unsettling churn of 'Torched and Burned,' sly melodies elevate the heaviness like stars spattered against a tar-pit sky."
