Abhorrence were a death metal band from Brazil. Formed in 1997, they released 3 demos and their debut LP in 2000, as well as 3 splits afterwards. Although their discography isn't very extensive, they definitely left a mark in the country's death metal scene.
I was surprised when I found out that this demo wasn't on youtube already, especially because it's one of my favourite demos of all time! This one is pure aggression and vitriol with some of the sickest leads I've ever heard. Taking a shit ton of influence from Deicide and a tinge of Immolation, I firmly believe Abhorrence to be better than the sum of its parts.
Am I overhyping this demo a little bit because it's one of my favs of alltime? Yeah, possibly, but I think I'm right when I say this is a must hear for any OSDM fan.
Tracklist:
00:00 - Reborn to Vengeance
02:54 - Communication with the Deads
06:13 - Horde of the Demons

![Doomsayer - Ominous Demise [Full Demo - 1991]
Doomsayer were a thrash/death metal band from the USA. Not much is known about them other than the fact they release this tape in 1991.
This is more akin to deathened thrash than anything else, think late 80s proto-death or super early death metal, like Pestilence, Incubus, Merciless or Prime Evil. Its nothing to write home about, but if youre a fan of that style you know whats in store!
Tracklist:
00:00 - Curse From Afar
03:54 - Dual Soul
06:33 - Hellion
09:20 - Prophet of Doom

![Dislocated Cerebrum - The State of... ...Pathological Depressed [Full EP - 2006]
Dislocated Cerebrum were a (melodic) goregrind/death metal band from Malasya. The band formed in 2003 as False Theori, changed name to General Surgeri in the same year, having released 1 demo under that name, and kept it until 2005, after learning about General Surgery from Sweden. As Dislocated Cerebrum, the band released 1 demo in 2005 and this EP. They disbanded in 2007.
Yeah, you read that right, I wrote melodic right there on the first line. These dudes picked up on every spectrum of the Carcass influence and kinda mixed it all in a bag with some Swedish tinges. Gore vocals are everywhere, the groovy goregrind riffs are super present, and higher string melodies straight out of something like Heartwork or Like an Everflowing Stream are the base of every song on this EP. Kinda insane how they mixed that all up but damn it works perfectly.
Im still looking for their 2005 demo and their demo under General Surgeri, so if you have it and want to be a kind soul, hit me up, Id love to hear them.
Tracklist:
00:00 - Back to the Morgue
05:45 - Retro-Active Abortion
09:26 - Libido Nerve Impact
14:49 - Lynch Cord Tortuos
18:46 - Impaled Cadaver
24:43 - Debauch Abroption

![Embodyment - Corrosion of the Flesh [Full Demo - 1994]
Embodyment were an American brutal death metal band. Formed in 1991 as Suplication and with members with ages around 14yo, they started playing shows right away. Then, in 1994, the band changed names and dropped their second demo, the same one you are listening to right now. Around 98, when the band released their debut, Embodyment started introducing some hardcore punk elements in their music, Embrace the Eternal having an extremely punky approach to death metal. Afterwards and without any warning, Embodyment changed their sound to christian alt rock - aint that drastic.
Corrosion of the Flesh is noisy, gross, aggressive, brutal and will turn your insides inside-out. I would never say that 17 year olds wrote this music, let alone produce it and share it. Their style is reminiscent of early Broken Hope, Suffocation or Pyrexia.
Tracklist:
00:00 - Cryptic Descension
00:36 - Dismembering Death
03:37 - Stillborn Natality
08:01 - Entropy
11:12 - Shroud of Darkness
15:35 - Legion of Damnation

![Sanctifier - Pact with the Evil [Full Demo - 1992]
From Brazil comes Sanctifier, a death metal band that has been active since 1989 (!!!) and never stopped releasing music between line-up and name changes. Pact with the Evil was their second demo as Sanctifier.
The first track is specially noisy, seriously, it might really hurt your ears. It softens afterwards but oof thats an easy way of turning people away from this demo. If youre able to sit through that (or if you skip it, its up to you) youll find that traditional brazilian sound - some Sarcófago, some Holocausto, some Krisiun.
Tracklist:
00:00 - Intro
00:36 - Historical Insight
04:10 - Submission at Criators Will
07:11 - Laudation
07:51 - Envoy for God to Pushiment of the Men

![Scorcht Earth - Demo 1990 [Full Demo - 1990]
Scorcht Earth were an American thrash metal band. Not much is known about the band, they released at least 4 demos, only one of which is registred to Metal Archives.
2 of the tracks in this demo can be found in their self-titled one. As for the other 2 untitled tracks, I didnt recognize them from anything else ive heard from them, but I also dont have all of their material, so if anyone knows drop their names in the comments!
Super straighfoward and downtuned thrash metal, more aggressive than your average 90s thrash if you ask me. Must have been some kind of Demolition Hammer or Overthrow influence that lead them to this vein. The vocals remind me of Exhorder perhaps. Overall a really good thrash demo, even if more for completionists or thrash affictionados.
Tracklist:
00:00 - Untitled Track 1
03:33 - Untitled Track 2
06:49 - Operation Barbarossa
09:42 - Gimme Some Skull

![Slesk - Moulding Horror [Full Demo - 1990]
Slesk were a death/grind band from Norway. The band formed in 1988 and only released 2 demos, this one being their debut.
Moulding Horror is stupidly straight to the point. No down time, no pauses, not gimmicks - just riff, riff and more riff. There might be a slight gore tinge to their music too? Im insure since it was still fermenting in the crypts of Britain with Carcass. Either way: it fast, it gross, it nasty, it grind, it good. Small brain shit, make your head split.
Tracklist:
00:00 - Piercing Gastric Juice
00:55 - Overwhelming Scobber
02:18 - Shudder Dread
03:50 - Corroding Nephrite

![Wotan - Inner Monstrosity [Full Demo - 1993]
Wotan were an Italian death metal band. When they formed in 1987, the band played something closer to speed metal (even labeled Epic Speed Metal in Metal Archives), but as band members and years went by, they ended up with this sick death metal style. In 6 years, the band released 6 demos, their last one being in 1993.
Inner Monstrosity gives it all on the title - this demo is a fucking beast. Intro and outro aside, they never go slower than a mid-pace (and mid-pace for this demos standards is still on the speedy side). Pure aggression and a lot of shredding, drums that feel like a punch to the gut and a devastating whirlwind of riffs.
Tracklist:
00:00 - Intro
01:52 - Drowned into Temptations
05:38 - Spiral of Suffering
09:51 - Perpetual Sense of Doom
15:44 - Inner Monstrosity
19:50 - Outro

![Voidd - Premontary Inscription [Full Demo - 1990]
Premontary Inscription is Voidds debut demo. Death/thrash straight from Japan! And man, I love japanese metal, those guys are the best, god damn. They always bring a unique vibe to whatever they touch.
In tracks like Black Fate or Total Mayhem speed is the name of the game, while in Betrayer they go for a more mid-pace approach, slow and heavy. And then, to top it all off, a sick ass Sodom cover... Good fucken demo.
Lastly, apologies for the volume, its not a very loud demo and I know less about audio editing than video editing (and I dont know much about video editing)
Tracklist:
00:00 - Black Fate
03:00 - Hell Bound
07:32 - Betrayer
11:33 - Total Mayhem
14:50 - Outbreak of Evil (Sodom Cover)

![Pulverized Necrobrains - Totally Pulverized [Full Demo - 2022]
Totally Pulverized is the debut encoffination by Pulverized Necrobrains, a death metal band from Colorado, USA.
When I first found this demo I admit I was expecting your general murky, gross and low-tuned sewer death metal. The intro went by, then the first riff came - I still expected the same. But fucking hell when their second riff hit I was dumbfounded. This 3-piece band is doing fucking Demilich worship - for those of you that dont know, Demilich is easily in my top 5 death metal bands of all time. Of course I would love this demo! I cherish all Demilich worship i get in my hands, these lads even got the guitar and bass tones pretty much right, all they miss is the true frog vocals (but cmon I dont think anyone will ever top Bomans, so Im not even complaining).
Oh, and what was that in the last track? A disEMBOWELMENT passage? Did I hear that right?
Fucking hell these dudes just show so much potential. Someone please get them a place for them to record a debut album already and it might just make it into my top 5 of the yeah when it releases.
Tracklist:
00:00 - Intro
00:45 - Enucleation
03:23 - Drained
06:13 - Organs Squirting

![Floridian Hippies - Fuel Injected [Full EP - 2022]
Floridian Hippies are back with another hard hippie hitter, straight outta Finland. Fuel Injected is 12 minutes of rotted weed and Californian sewer waste, merged with an undeniable Finnish influence.
There is as much Autopsy as there is Convulse, as much Impetigo as there is early Xysma. I even dare to say I heard a bit Demilich in some passages.
Personally, this band is all I like in death metal and some more. Even if they dont stray from the usual modern low tuned and grimy style, Floridian Hippies managed to deliver a fresh sound that mixes influences that surprisingly are rarely seen together. Merging that with their unique hippie theme and aesthetic... It couldnt ever go wrong.
Tracklist:
00:00 - Fuel Injected
02:23 - Yeah!
05:32 - Blues for the Cosmos
09:40 - Napalm Hippies
11:30 - Kaikki Haisee (Puhelinkoppi Cover)

![Augmentation - The Dead [Full Demo - 1990]
Augmentation were an American crossover thrash band. There isnt much information about them out there, I only know theyre from Chicago because its written on the tape. According to discogs, this was their only release.
The Dead is just moshing music. Its not very deep, it barely has diversity and sounds like anyone couldve written it - but what it lacks in those aspects, it compensates with attitude! And thats what matters when all you want is to mosh around with a beer in your hand.
Tracklist:
00:00 - Release Aggression
03:04 - The Dead
06:00 - Rotting Inside
08:50 - Harlem Boys

12:22 - Road Kill
