Bio:
Demons Down, a new band featuring two talented up-and-coming musicians - vocalist James Robledo (Sinner's Blood) and guitarist Francesco Savino (False Memories) - along with hard rock scene veterans guitarist Jimi Bell (House Of Lords, Autograph), drummer Ken Mary (ex-House of Lords, Alice Cooper, Fifth Angel) and bassist Chuck Wright (Quiet Riot, ex-House Of Lords). Debut album "I Stand" sees this gathering of young performers and established skill players delivering a quintessential classic hard rock album. Demons Down traffics in a hard rock sound that references the late 80s/early 90s movement where massive hooks, huge melodies and lush keyboards were the order of the day. But this is no simple exercise in paying tribute to yesteryear as the music rocks hard to compliment the vocal talents of Robledo (who has sonically been compared to the likes of Jorn Lande and Russell Allen). Fans of early House Of Lords material and their sonic peers from that time period as well as Robledo's debut solo album, "Wanted Man", will have much to enjoy here.James Robledo is a Chilean vocalist who comes from a family of musicians with prominent places in the history of Chilean music, with both national and international success. In his youth, he began his foray into metal and rock, but in 2016, James took part in the popular TV show The Voice Chile 2, where his participation generated a stir thanks to his outstanding vocal performances. Since then, he has become a more active member of the larger hard rock/metal community and with Frontiers, he has released one solo album, "Wanted Man" and the album, "The Mirror Star" with Chilean metal band Sinner's Blood, whom are also currently preparing their second album for release.Francesco Savino is an Italian guitarist and songwriter who founded the up-and-coming gothic metal band False Memories in 2015. That band's latest release, "The Last Night Of Fall" (2021), was met with praise from both fans and metal media alike. The band also released the covers EP, "Echoes Of A Reflection" and the live EP, "Live Until The Twilight" since the release of their last studio album. With his songwriting partner Rossella Moscatello (who is the lead vocalist for False Memories), Franceso has also been contributing songs to Frontiers and is working on the next False Memories album.Jimi Bell is an established hard rock guitarist who is currently a member of both House Of Lords and Autograph and, of course, Demons Down.
