DEMONICA, the solo project of MERCYFUL FATE guitarist Hank Shermann,
is putting the finishing touches on its debut album for a tentative
late spring/early summer release via an as-yet-undisclosed label. The
CD will be mixed in February in Denver, Colorado.

DEMONICA's core lineup:

Hank Shermann (MERCYFUL FATE) - Guitar
Craig Locicero (FORBIDDEN) - Guitar
Klaus "Hyr" Hansen (BATTALION, TRAUMA CENTER) - Vocals

Locicero previously described DEMONICA's musical direction "killer
metal with riffs from hell!"

Stay Heavy!
