Stream the Beastwars-endorsed/down under doom of their crushing new single ‘Coward’!
“Demons of Noon is my favourite new heavy band from New Zealand.” - NATHAN HICKEY ( BEASTWARS)
Formed in Auckland in 2017, Demons of Noon is a smouldering cult doom colossus that will conjure in the mind of any true fan of the genre, the cosmic rock of Blood Ceremony, Lucifer and Purson.
Having harvested a loyal fanbase across their native New Zealand, the six-piece has continued to up their game time and time again, refining their sound with every new release while continuing to mine the primitive and historic grooves channelled by the likes of Black Sabbath, Coven and Black Widow.
Following the success of several self-funded singles, this December the band releases Death Machine – their first full-length album – amid a fug of smoke; spectral jams and punishing riffs.

Driven by the ethereal and sombre vocals of Aria Jones and Tamsyn Matchett, the insidious guitar-play of Abraham Kunin and Scott Satherley, and low-end rumblings of bassist Jonathan Burgess and drummer, Joseph McElhinney, Demons of Noon are an absolute force. And their latest single, ‘Coward’ is testament to this. Foreshadowing the arrival of their incoming debut, this bruising hymn demonstrates the breadth of their influences, drawing upon industrial bands like Ministry, the relentlessness of early Shihad, Mazzy Star and the swing of those great New Orleans sludge bands. "Metal is the only sane reaction to modernity," says bassist, Jonathan Burgess. "Since Neolithic times, human beings have stepped outside of themselves through immersion in hypnotic and repetitive sounds, and we all need to reconnect with this in the weird times that we find ourselves in. Death Machine is a ritualistic journey that delivers the unexpectedly uplifting sonic balm that the world needs in 2023." Sinister, brooding, and heavy enough to dislodge the earth from its axis, Death Machine is a thrilling entry into the annals of Southern Hemisphere Doom and will be released on 1st December 2023 via Evil Feast Records - Pre-order Digital | Vinyl 2/12 – Wine Cellar (Album Release Show) – Auckland, New Zealand 14/12 – Valhalla (Album Release Show) – Wellington, New Zealand  1.
