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 enlisted Andy La Rocque of King Diamond to deliver guitar work that adds a sharp, seasoned edge to the song. She also brought in Christian Palin and Harry Hytönen, both of Fenyx Rising. Hytönen is also known for his work with Armada North, Simulacrum, as a former member of The Scourger, and as a touring guitarist for Kalmah. The track was mixed and mastered by Villus Savas, who also recorded the keyboard parts, while the drums were performed by Janne Kusmin, a member of Christian Palin’s band. 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.
