Demon

Demon is an English rock band formed in 1976 by vocalist Dave Hill and guitarist Malcolm Spooner, both coming from Leek (Staffordshire). They won their first audiences of the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal movement in 1980. The two members were rounded out by Les Hunt (rhythm guitar), Chris Ellis (bass) and John Wright (drums). Carrere Records quickly signed them to complete their collection of metal bands. Their first album Night of the Demon came out in 1981. After their second album The Unexpected Guest in 1982, the band then experimented beyond the sound of the NWOBHM and moved into more melodic directions while retaining their traditional style.
