Review
Demonstration is the underground classic Doom/Stoner Metal album from Ladies Of Leisure. Perhaps not getting the recognition it fully deserved back in 2014 when it was released upon the world. The album is getting a long overdue 7 inch and CD physical release.
The sound is powered by Seventies Proto-Doom, Hard Rock, Proto-Metal and aggressive Stoner Rock hooks. There is a meaty sideline of Blues Rock, Psych and Fuzz Rock energy which has a great Space Rock sound that is all the range these days so this is quite forward thinking especially on tracks such as Poison, UDS 2 - Liquid Maze and Joblin’s Demise.
Ladies Of Leisure provide filthy melodies and gritty sludgy grooves which feels like The Obsessed jamming with FU MANCHU but with a ferocious Punk Rock sound that isn’t afraid to get down and dirty when the music becomes way over distorted. The whole record feels part of the underground Stoner Rock scene that was perhaps on the rise back in 2014 and it’s a damn shame that Ladies Of Leisure never received the attention they truly deserved as this album is never afraid of its Heavy Metal heritage.
The music constantly feels over-done and quite rushed at times but that’s part of the charm with Ladies Of Leisure tapping right into their Punk Rock, Doom Metal and Stoner Rock identity with a REBELLIOUS and LONER attitude generating in some pretty intense Psychedelic instrumental passages along the way.
Demonstration is an underground classic of the Doom/Stoner Metal scene and it’s about time this album should get the love, respect and admiration it truly deserves. If you’re into the likes of The Obsessed, FU MANCHU, KYUSS and MONSTER MAGNET then you need to check out these seedy OUTLAW RIFFSTERS OF THE NIGHT.
As this album is an undiscovered gem!!!.
