DEMON EYES started in January 1999 as the project of Brent Monson. After spending time as the guitarist for Chico, CA punk outfit Socially Pink and bassist for Marysville, CA goth band Blue Monroe, it was clear that a lot of creativity wasn't being let loose. Unwilling to stand by and wait for the right people to come by to fill out a lineup, Brent began writing and recording himself, handling the duties of guitar, bass, vocals, and drum programming. With an undying love for bands such as The Misfits, Danzig, Type-O-Negative, Acid Bath, Samael, and My Dying Bride, a mixture of influences began taking it's shape. Sounding a little bit metal, but not exactly, a little bit punk, but not quite, and a little bit goth, but just too different, these terms are always still on the tip of the tongue when asked to describe the music. Prefering mostly to just create a good heavy song, the debut recording of DEMON EYES and it's nine songs were born.

Quickly grabbing the attention of all who hear it, Brent had no problem finding members to complete out a live lineup. With James Secrist (ex- Sons of Chaos) tackling the vocal duties, Jim Boots coming around in 'Utunning form to learn "those crazy drum machine beats" and rounded out by bassist Jules Alcouffe (ex-Blue Monroe), DEMON EYES is soon to be a live force haunting you more than it's recordings. The debut recording of DEMON EYES merely shows a blueprint of what this band is doing. DEMON EYES have already begun writing and recording together for a new CD of material including a song of their namesake, DEMON EYES.
