1990
Anno Dominus
STONE
DEMONS came into this world of misery in through a slow process of life, death and
resurrection which started in autumn 1990, when the restless souls of Martino
(guitars, 17 y.o.) and Van Hellsing (drums, then 16 y.o.) met each other at an
old and macabre occult library (now closed) in downtown Mexico City. Their love
for the sinister side of music, cinema and literature bounded them in a macabre
alliance since then. Both shades involved in shades started to work in Heavy
Metal band to give shape and life to
their twisted ideas and conceptions, all in all sunk into the macabre,
superstition and tradition of the horrible and frightening. With basic and
cheap equipment, but lots of zest, both lovers of the macabre started to work
with some riffs and lyrics while searching for suitable members to join the
legions of dead.
Almost
a year passed until, suddenly, from the mist a third wandering ghost came in
the fuzzy shape of G. Malthus, a fresh corpse still in his drape, who would
break the silence howling like a wolf in night of fullmoon. Very few Martino
and Van Hellsing knew about Malthus fascination for drugs, something which would
lead him to the pits of perdition in short time after.
A
fourth wandering spirit appeared from the darkest darkness. On her tombstone
was written her name: Diana Salazar, whose horrible abilities were shown on
bass guitar and keyboards. She went even more into darkness, following the magia inversa direction since she was
deeply interested in black magic & witchcraft. More a classic trained
musician than a metalhead, she added new dimensions to the STONE DEMONS sound.
