It has also got rave reviews by Metal Hammer, Metal Recusants, Total Rock and many other publications.
Sahil Makhija, frontman and vocalist of the band, who is also a social media buff, posted on Facebook, “in keeping with the good news The Demon King is #2 on flipkart.com in the Rock/Metal/Alternative Genres. #7 in ALL MUSIC!!! And something like that. With 52,000 fans on Facebook from India this album has the potential to be the biggest selling indie album of all time if most of those fans are real and buy the album.” Every once in a while Makhija takes to social media to promote his work, not just with DR but also, Workshop and Reptilian Death.
