Clod Maple is one man band from Florence, Italy. This record contains seven songs that were written, recorded, mixed and mastered in his bedroom in Florence. This one actually got to be pretty good one. I love Italian language, I love Italian melodies and their scene, so Clod Maple did fine for me. The music on this record can be described as pop punk with goth rock, horror punk influences, also I can hear some neoclassical in some songs like for example in great opener ‘Lift Me Up’. Vocals are nice voice, neither too mellow or snotty, nor too deep and I love how the color of the voice and harmonies fit to the songs. I love faster side of the songs, like ‘Seafoam’ and I can swear I hear some double bass drumming on that one, maybe it is only me. This demo is diverse, there is also an acoustic instrumental here called ‘Sorcerer’s Foot’. Lyrics deal from personal to horror goth influenced themes and my personal highlights are songs like ‘Vampire Girl’ and ‘My Friend Night’. This is a good melodic little demo and a nice effort for a one man band.
