The former singer from Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow and Yngwie Malmsteen had from the beginning a good feeling when he started to develop his vocal ideas for the songs: "When I heard the instrumental demos in the spring of 2010 for the first time, I came right away with ideas. I heard the songs and I started to sing right away. It just worked." The band can not and will not deny the influences of their idols. Still, "The Stranger Within" will impress with originality. The album will be still stylistically reminiscent of Deep Purple and Rainbow, however, it include new compositions and nothing sounds plagiarized. Demon's Eye hope to give the Deep Purple and Rainbow fans with "The Stranger Within" what they would like to hear today from Ritchie Blackmore & Co, but won't get anymore from them. Doogie stated: "If I would not have liked the song material or I would have thought not being able to develop any good ideas, I wouldn't have done it. No money in the world could have change that. Demon's Eye are the best Deep Purple Tribute Band I have seen so far. Just forget this is a Deep Purple tribute band and listen to the album. These are fantastic songs that are played by excellent musicians. Turn up the volume, take out the air guitar and go on rocking, because that is what I did when I heard the finished album at home!" |
