DEMON & ELEVEN CHILDREN - BLUES CREATION (1971)

One of the hundreds of hard rock bands that remained hidden under the shades of the big groups of the ‘70s and the last 15 years have begun to come out in the surface, due to the work of some collectors!
They were formed in the late 60’s in Japan and their sound had been influenced by the hard rock groups of the time and from electric blues, of course. It is not accidental that the ' 75 made tour in Japan with Mountain (which they broke up a little after the Japan tour because of hearing problems of Felix Pappalardi!).
Their first self titled album was released in 1969.All the tracks were covers of blues songs (almost all the groups at that time had at least one blues cover in their album). The second however,named "Demon & Eleven Children" released in 1971 ,shows an exceptional hard rock group! Songs as “Atomic Bombs Away” and “Sorrow”, written by the band’s leader and guitarist Kazuo Takeda , as almost all of their material, show a very interesting group, with an excellent guitar work. A classic hard rock sounding album, from those that in their time didn't find their way (or didn't had any commercial interest if you want) and god only knows how many we will still hear! They put however their own mark in the history and glory of dynasty of rock!
