"Deml understood – as Hendrix once did – that the electric guitar tone reaches its most creative peak when it makes use of the wide spectrum of vocal expression." JAZZTHETHIK Magazin
"one of the most breathtaking instrumental releases of 2025"

"It doesn’t take long to perceive that Pure could only have been born in the mind of a well-rounded musician – the kind of person who takes inspiration from all manner of locales, physical and musical."

Guitarist
"Pure is a milestone in guitar tone and sound design."

Vintage Guitar Magazine 2/26
"Supernatural New Album Marcus Deml The nine tasteful instrumental pieces on Marcus Deml's “Pure” have a very rich sound. Although most of his sound comes from a vintage Strat plugged into a Marshall without master volume, he creates something that sounds supernatural. Deml's breathtaking whammy bar stunts are reminiscent of Jeff Beck, especially on the title track and the heartfelt Allan Holdsworth tribute “Yorkshire Man.” “Pure” is a beautiful album that you won't be able to put down"

Amit Sharma - Guitarist.nl
"A very intense album, and one that really stuck a chord with the reviewer."
