The name comes from the movie of the same name, which is a story about a pianist who has a murderer's hands grafted on to his after an accident. This guy is basically tortured by panic attacks and irrational fears as he believes that with the hands of the murderer he has also gained the murderer's predisposition to killing. The movie has a very dark atmosphere and has become a cult classic, this old-school Italian band has also a dark atmosphere and a sound with its roots in old Hammer Horror type films and the sounds of Traditional Metal acts like The Obsessed, Trouble and Black Sabbath but there is also a nod towards N.W.O.B.H.M, obviously in their cover version of the Angel Witch track "Sorceress" but also in the three original tracks also on this demo.The band is led wonderfully well by a female vocalist and flautist (name unknown) and largely the music centers around her mesmerizing voice which is delicate but haunting.
These guys are a less polished and practiced Blood Ceremony. Still worth checking out tho!
