“Death of Me”, the latest demo from The Project, packs a punch right from the opening notes. The song brings together an impressive lineup of rock veterans, including Dennis Hill from Face to Face, James Davis of Shameless, Scott Schiflett of Eagles of Death Metal, Jimmy D’Anda from Bullet Boys, Erik Ferentinos of Stephen Pearcy (Ratt), and Kevin Baldes from Lit. This mix of experienced musicians brings a gritty, hard-hitting sound that draws from the roots of rock and metal while offering a fresh edge. Despite being in demo form, the song already feels polished, with powerful riffs and a thundering rhythm section that keeps the energy high throughout.
Lyrically, “Death of Me” explores themes of inner turmoil, self-reflection, and the struggle that comes with facing one’s own demons. James Davis’s raw and emotive vocal delivery adds a layer of depth to the song, drawing listeners into the narrative. The chorus is especially gripping, with an infectious hook that sticks with you long after the track ends. The energy never falters as the song progresses, constantly shifting between heavier, more intense moments and softer, more reflective passages. It’s clear that the band is aiming for a sound that blends both melodic and hard-edged elements, making it appealing to a wide range of rock fans.
Even though this is just a demo, the production is already top-notch. The balance between the instruments is spot-on, allowing each member’s contribution to shine through. The guitars cut through with sharp precision, while the bass and drums lock in to create a solid foundation. The song’s raw, unpolished nature gives it an authentic, almost live feel—something that many modern rock tracks often lack. If this is what The Project sounds like at the demo stage, we can only imagine how the finished version will sound when it’s fully realized. Fans of hard rock and metal should definitely keep an eye out for the final release of “Death of Me”, as it promises to be a standout track from this all-star group.
