Power prog storytellers RED CAIN have unleashed a reimagined goth rock version of their track “Demons” from their 2020 album “Kindred: Act II”. The track has been djentified, revocalized, injected with bigger drums, and metalized!
Vocalist Evgeniy Zayarny elaborates on “Demons II”:
“Stand with your demons and own them. A lethal and heavy encounter with your demons awaits you in the succinctly titled “Demons II’ – Red Cain’s reimagining of their 2021 goth rock hit. With all-new, heavier, djentier guitars, revised drums, and vocal performance to die for, this is a quintessential Halloween headbanger.
We are all defined by our battles with our demons – each of us fighting our own private war every day to remain ourselves and wrest control of this sense of self from the things that afflict us, drag us down, attempt to change us, and bring us into discomfort and malcontent.
This lurid tale of a deadly dance with your demons captures that struggle, yet ultimately carries a message of acceptance and control of one’s own flaws and imperfections, and an elevation of these into pure strength.”

Earlier this year, Red Cain also shared “Firestarter”, the first single of 2024 that is loosely based on the lore of the action role-playing game “Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree”. The band spent a lot of their time this year playing this fantastic release. Elden Ring is not only a brilliant game and a visual masterpiece, but also a storytelling phenomenon that deliberately has lore gaps to let fans and players create their own stories and interpretations of the lore. This strongly resonates with Red Cain‘sapproach as musicians, as they always write music for their fans to read in unique ways and weave into their mythology.
“Firestarter” is also a new statement for Red Cain, as they continue to embrace a modern sound and reinvent their songwriting. You will hear a lot more groove and synth backing on this one, along with the same anthemic hooks, technical riffs, and vocal layering they are known for.
