On Saturday 12 February 2022, we turned up at North-Western to record the instrumental tracks for a new album over the weekend with Tom Anderson. After that we spent countless nights recording vocals with Abraham Kunin. James Goldsmith masterfully mixed the results, and James Plotkin unleashed his audio dark arts to master it for digital and vinyl. Scott Satherley slaved over the artwork, Sheltered Life PR made sure that everyone heard it, Bigpop Music Publishing serviced it to all the streaming platforms, and Holiday Records pressed it to vinyl. It takes a lot of time and work from a lot of people to make an album, and we're proud to say that Death Machine is out today on vinyl and all streaming platforms 👹
Huge thanks to Dalton at Heavy Music HQ for reviewing the new Demons of Noon album, Death Machine:
"Unlike many doom bands, no one song feels drawn out and each song is distinct and unique. Death Machine is one of the better albums of the doom genre that has come out this year and hopes are high for them for the future."

Death Machine is released 1st December 2023 on Evil Feast Records
"‘Bad Men’ is the clearest articulation of Demons of Noon's artistic vision. Primitive riffage evokes Neolithic people beating drums in the deep, as fire flickers against smoke-blackened cave walls. Guttural chants sit below yearning harmonies to invoke the unseen forces of time immemorial in the face of cruel modernity."
Fresh Aotearoa sonic treasures hand-picked from the past week.
