The vast majority of the time, I stay away from demos. It’s simply because I’d much rather hear the sound that the band is trying to make in its finished product after going through post-production. I can appreciate the raw … Continue reading Toadeater – Demo
I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times: I’m typically not a fan of demos. Sure, there are the occasional exceptions, but I’m not a real fan of an unpolished sound because I know the material could sound … Continue reading Merlock – s/t
The two worlds of death metal and Norse mythology tend to overlap one another quite often, and if you’re not ready for it you’re more than likely to be surprised by another out of nowhere. It’s been a while since … Continue reading Pandrador – Śmierci Baldura
I’ve always been the kind of guy to go for a finished product that has had the proper treatment to it. Not sure why I am that way, but I firmly believe that everyone needs to step out of their … Continue reading Denim Casket – Demo
The old school of death metal has always had a very exclusive list of graduates in recent years simply because it’s incredibly hard to pull it off in modern times solely because we’re no longer in the “old school” era. … Continue reading Coffin Rot – s/t
Of all the style of metal that can sometimes be stuck in the past, I think it’s death metal that tends to bust out the most satisfying pieces that pay homage to the old school. There’s an umpteenth amount of … Continue reading Bone Storm – Ritual Supremacy
The essence of the sound of black metal is purely raw and unrestrained, as we all should know I assume. Back in the 90’s this was something else entirely with bands coming with all sorts of different types of shit to make their black metal sound more raw and more unrestrained than what bands before them had already done a thousand times over and over again. Nowadays, some bands are returning back to those times with coming up with albums that while sounding raw on record they sound just as if not more so raw when played live. One such … Continue reading Ende – The God’s Rejects
Now this is just a demo so don’t shit your pants after reading the album name and just go “Well fuck! Another previously respected band has turned to this bullshit topic!” because (1) there’s no such thing as a bullshit topic for metal, (2) if you think like that you’re fucking stupid, and (3) this is just a demo… Redacted may not continue making alien-themed music or maybe they will. Either way – get over it. Now, “Alien Nation” is actually pretty good compared to what demos I’ve heard before and from that first judgement of the album which is pretty basic … Continue reading Redacted- Alien Nation
While Shadowspawn doesn’t have a legitimate album out yet, they have out a demo that contains 4 songs that bring only good news for the band’s future. All four songs have a nice brutal sound to them that will surely get some people out there going nuts no problem. The raw feel to this demo is one that I’m sure will carry over into their first EPs and later on their first full length album which I’ve no doubt at the moment that they’ll be a pretty good first step for Shadowspawn in the metal world on their trek to … Continue reading Shadowspawn (band)
