I know someone else on here was looking for this. A long time want of mine that a friend just found and sent to me. On first listen...really good stuff, dark heavy metal...another gem from the Japanese underground..

Hey, this was pretty nice. Not what you'd expect from the band name. Quite Priest'y at times, but much more original. "Curse Doll" = top-notch Doom.
This actually inspired an
thread in Into Battle...

Ah forget to post my thoughts about the music. Well I can only back what DaN said. Somewhat Priest'y metal without sounding an imitation. Good stuff. All the songs are nice but "Curse Doll" is my favourite one here..

Finally, i listened to this demo, nice doomy stuff, the vocalist screams like Rob Halford and generally there are many Priest-like moments in the songs. I'm surprised there is not much feedback left by doom metal fans, "Curse doll" sounds like a hidden gem of the genre. Thanks for the upload anyway.

This is a wicked demo, doesn't really sound like a Japanes band to me, but I like it, especially "Moonless Desert"!

For Doom Metal fans I'd also like to point VELLE WITCH demo that was uploaded here. It's even better imo!

Very cool on 1st listen, esp. 'Curse Doll'. I know ziltch about japanese metal. Will check out the Velle Witch too; been meaning to explore some southeast asian metal but seems like I never get caught up on the US and euro stuff

Divine Night Of The King is another standout of the demo, it links it all together with its exotic catchy opening riff the kind of which I hear and instantly think of far east metal. It reminds me of the cool riff at the start of Flatbacker - Death Wish. I'd like to hear the second demo!!!

One of the best riffs ever! And I agree, Divine
Right of the King is a great song too.
