Details:
After coming on strong to the music scene with their EP âVenus Blushâ at the end 2004, Demonika and the Darklingsâ long awaited full-length release âShelterâ is now ready for its debut.

Again working as co-producers with John âWee Weeâ Napier (Ethyl Meatplow, Nitzer Ebb), Demonika and the Darklingsâ have created a more organic and fuller sound than their first collection of songs. DJ Bastard Darkly was brought into the fold on drums, and along with Dv8 Darkly on bass, provides a solid foundation to the music. Devlyn Darklyâs melodic violin compliments Demonikaâs strong soulful vocals that invoke the energy of voices from the 60âs. With all these elements added together, âShelterâ takes the music several steps beyond what was hinted at with their first release.

âShelterâ includes two cover songs that are sure to attract interest from music fans unfamiliar with Demonika and the Darklings. Their cover of Justin Timberlakeâs âCry Me A Riverâ proves that they can take on a song from a completely different genre and make it distinctly their own. With Ministryâs âEveryday is Halloweenâ they breathe new life into an old goth classic.

Demonika and the Darklingsâ âShelterâ is a departure from most traditional guitar based popular music and provides the listener with a unique sonic landscape of melancholy-tinged melodies and lyrical musings.

"Shelter" is an enhanced CD that can be viewed on your computer and includes lyrics, pictures, bios, and a video of Demonika and the Darklings performing "Watching From the Outside" live.
