Yvonxhe - "De Praestigiis Daemonum" (CD)

Yvonxhe's first album was released in 2012 on Zero Dimensional records, a label that supports the black metal scene in Japan.

After the four-song demo released before the album, Yvonxhe signed with a label and produced this album. The primitive black metal sound of the demo has receded a bit, and the direction and sound of the songs are slightly different from the demo.

The songs from the demo have been re-recorded and included on the album, so a comparison of the two will reveal some definite changes. The overall tuning has been lowered and the vocal style and sound has been oriented toward a more down-to-earth style and sound.

The production has also improved slightly. According to an interview on their official website, the theme of the album is anger and sadness toward modern Japan, and the band has distanced themselves from the common image of Satanism.

The songs are often criticized on review sites for being too short, and the disposable guitar riffs are a metaphor for the corporate slaves who are being discarded by capitalism.
