STONE DEMONS - The nightmare continues...

1991 Anno Dominus

 STONE DEMONS had finished a very slow process to complete three songs which included “Vampyr”, “Mournful Woman” and “Stone Demons”. A debut demo tape named “Vampyr” was scheduled to be recorded in mid July 1991, but in that lapsus of time void, Malthus disappeared and was never found again, dead or alive. His departure caused a deep disaster in the band, since no a new walking dead could be found to complete the task. Also, Van Hellsing found himself prey of health breakdown which affected the whole process.

The band was put into rest for an agonic time, while waiting for a new cadaver could came into the morgue to fit the vocals, while Van Hellsing recovered slowly, but not completely. It was until 1993 that the graves opened again and from the dust and coldness stepped out of the mortuary pit A. Aestera, a grim entity who shared the same macabre visions as the other three. By that time, the band had worked in new sinister sounds to be added to the first three songs, which included “Haxän”, “Bell Tower”. “When the Witches Burn”, “A Moonshine Filled Night” and “Presentia Diaboli”, which would be part of a new demo named “The Craft of the Witches”.

But calamity struck the band again. Diana is found by their parents in shock state. A long path had Diana walk to recover from that episode she refuse to speak about. To this day she is under clinical observation.   

       

   In that state of misery, STONE DEMONS found a grey horizon for the future of the band so they decided to stop for a while. Van Hellsing goes to university, joint short-living bands, and travels through Europe, while Martino concentrates himself to study at the National Conservatory and college. Aestera simply disappeared in the darkness where he came from. So the eyes of the STONE DEMONS were closed in winter 1994.

Thus the crypt was sealed…
