    While Daemon is not without its evil edge, there's a bounciness to it that makes it an interesting and, oddly, occasionally fun listen. [2 Nov 2019, p.55]

    It’s an enjoyable ride, I can’t take that away from it, but replayability is slim and it quickly unveils humdrum and vapid songwriting the more you settle yourself into it.

Lyrika całkiem niezła, kilka one-linerów zostaje w pamięci, ale głównie to jednak generator strasznych słów, na plus, że panowie łącza też norweski z tym.
    Wokalnie od dramatycznych zawołań tak przesadzonych, że aż śmiesznych po naprawdę niepokojące wyziewy, nic oryginalnego ale na równym poziomie.    … Full Review »

From his respective album "De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas" Mayhem always tried to do the same with his subsequent albums. and that it seemed that this band had already lost its essence ... but Daemon showed that this band gave it all in this album with songs like: The Dying False King, Worthless Abominations Destroyed, Bad Blood, Falsified and Hated and my favorite Of Worms and Ruins. this album is 100% recommended for any fan of black metal and Mayhem… Full Review »
