Ru_Bass unveils “Demoness,” a single built on collaboration as much as raw power, bringing together a striking lineup of international musicians. For this track, she called on Andy La Rocque of King Diamond for guitar work that adds a sharp, seasoned edge to the song. She also enlisted Christian Palin and Harry Hytönen, both of Fenyx Rising, the latter also known for his work with Armada North, Simulacrum, former member of The Scourger, and touring guitarist for Kalmah. This convergence of talent from different corners of the metal scene gives “Demoness” a sound that feels both massive and deeply personal, a project where every contributor leaves a distinct mark, carrying the raw admission that “She tore herself apart until there’s nothing left to give”. Ru_Bass describes the track as a turning point, one built through genuine musical exchange rather than a simple guest feature. This ambitious collaboration is a highlight pick from Slash Music.
