"i purchased this C.D. becuase I am a Goblin "freak" (ha-ha), and really wanted to see how the new group stacks up. I was not dissapointed! The songs featured on this disc are quite good, with the smooth Goblin style very much in evidence. In addition to the hard to find stuff(the "Killer,Killer" theme from Demons,for example), there's the usual haunting themes that by now are very much old favorites, such as Suspiria's main theme, tracks from Deep Red,and a great alternate theme from Tenebrae. Highly recomended."

Sinister Symphonic Melodic Prog

"Daemonia was formed by former Goblin leader Claudio Simonetti in the late 90's. The band's music carries on the tradition of Goblin as Claudio has surrounded himself with a fine crop of young musicians. I have to admit not being all that familiar with Goblin's work and really only discovered Daemonia after booking them for Progday 2006 (which unfortunately they eventually did not play). The Daemonia disc is excellent with covers of old Goblin material and works from other composers. It is all done with a contemporary style that brings the music up to date. Dark, sinister, and at times downright creepy, the music on this disc is perfect for a dark stormy night. The music is all instrumental with the exception of some female non lyrical vocal work. The music is symphonic / melodic prog for the most part with plenty of outstanding keyboard work from Simonetti."
