Hawkwind - Demented Kings 2013

Review by Monica Bourgeau

Hawkwind's 2013 album, Demented Kings, is a solid addition to the band's extensive discography. The album showcases the band's signature sound of psychedelic rock with heavy use of electronic instrumentation and effects. The songs are a mix of new material and reworked versions of classic Hawkwind tracks.

The album opens with "Seasons," a slow-building track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. "Blood of the Earth" is a standout track with its catchy chorus and driving rhythm. "The Hills Have Ears" features a spoken word intro before launching into a spacey instrumental section.

One of the highlights of the album is "Mind Cut," a reworked version of the classic Hawkwind track "Brainstorm." The new version features updated lyrics and a more modern sound while still retaining the energy of the original.

Summary by Monica Bourgeau

Demented Kings is a strong album that will please both longtime Hawkwind fans and newcomers to the band's music. The songs are well-crafted and showcase the band's unique sound and style.
