Deathspawned Destroyer are a Finnish death metal band. They formed in 2001 as Bloodthirst and since 2002 have released music as Deathspawned Destroyer.
I came across these guys, and this album specially, when I found "Circle of Blood and Guts" on youtube... but ONLY that track! I really liked it so I searched around for the album and hell yeah it meets expectations. Really shows the 90's in their sound, a sound that bands were starting to lose around the beginning of the new millennium. A little bit of Incantation, a little bit of that Finnish Pestigore/Sentenced style but less melodic. Really cool, very old school....
Tracklist:
00:00 - The First Bestial Butchery (Intro)
00:40 - Death United
02:48 - Strangled and Slaughtered
06:13 - Ultimate Violence
10:21 - Kill to Create
15:07 - Need to Kill
19:22 - Hanged and Left to Bleed
24:26 - Circle of Blood and Guts
27:45 - Dawn of Massacre

![Apocalyptic - Belfegor [Full Demo - 1993]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/WqBANaesi_8/mqdefault.jpg "Apocalyptic - Belfegor [Full Demo - 1993]
Apocalyptic were a Polish death metal band. They formed in 1992 and this demo was their only release.
Very raw mid-tempo death metal. Could this be called death doom? Maybe, actually... Ive heard faster things being called death doom! The guitar in this demo is always up to some melodic riffing whenever they want to bridge sections together, maybe reminds me of the melodic passages in Ceremoniums debut Into the Autumn Shade (really good album btw, check it out if you havent)? But of course, with a paper thin production and never going above 40bpm.
Tracklist:
00:00 - Belfegor
01:24 - Im Dead
05:11 - Starvation
08:08 - Promised Land
10:52 - The Evil One

Destructive Aggression were a Greek thrash metal band. They were active from 1993 to 1999 and released 3 demos, Sacred Path of Hate being their second one.
Although Greek, Destructive Aggression sound super German, theres so much influence from Teutonic thrash on their riffs. Even if it never really gets violent enough to be considered death/thrash, Sacred Path of Hate is one aggressive demo (they werent lying when they named their band). I dont hear much influence from the 80s classics, but there is no doubt that this band rooted on early 90s big hits we all know, reminding me also of Sadus, Sacrifice or Holy Moses.
This demo is a death cry of the last good thrash albums of the 90s.
Tracklist:
00:00 - Dependence
03:41 - Perfect Holocaust
05:56 - Sacred Path of Hate
09:37 - Immortal Blasphemer

D.H., short for Deformação Humana (translating to Human Deformation) are a death/thrash band from Brazil. In their debut album, they offer a pretty thrashy vein of deathrash, very akin to their Brazilian peers. Towards the end of the album they start playing with slower tempos and their agression tones down a lil bit, but the first half is pretty much non-stop.

00:00 - Psychotic

![Captor - Memento Mori [Full Demo - 1992]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Xyzlsd6UE98/mqdefault.jpg "Captor - Memento Mori [Full Demo - 1992]
Captor were a death/thrash metal band (up tp their Refuse to Die EP, when they changed to groove metal) from Sweden. The band formed in 87, having released 2 demos, 1 EP and 4 full-lengths. As far as I know, they are no longer active.
Musically they sound like a mix between early Death, a bit of the German Deathrow and a tinge of Slayer - but all with a super European deathrash approach. Their technicality is off the charts sometimes, its impressive how they can introduce so many details without losing any of their punch and off-trailing into tech thrash territory.

00:00 - Possessed
05:10 - Vision of Fear

Sardonial were a Canadian death metal band, formed in 1993. They released only 2 demos, this one, being their debut, and a 2nd one in 1996.
Sardonial have clear influences from death/doom a lá Cianide, but mostly go for mid/fast-tempo riffs, closer to Deicide, Sinister or Morbid Angels mid-tempo tremolos. It sounds very similar to the Ossuary - Fallen to the Pits demo, if you guys have ever heard that one.

Ive been looking for this one for a while now and its as as cool as it looks! Exploding Zombies, a brutal death metal band from Michigan, USA, debut album is a great piece of true underground brutal death metal!
Its a 96 brutal release, its hard for it to do anything that hasnt done before, if youve heard any popular 90s brutal death you know what to expect here. Super solid, constant low register cruelty for your ears! For fans of Dying Fetus, Gorelust or Embalmed!

Soulless are a Greek death metal band. Formed in 96, the band has released 4 demos, this one being their 3rd. The band is supposedly still active, but havent released anything new since 2009.
Very chunky, high tempo deafening metal. For a demo from the early 2000s, which for my tastes in death metal doesnt have much good music, Valley of Unrest is a damn good find!

![Mortifix - Darkened Truth [Full Demo - 1992]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ZBRBeS0SYkI/mqdefault.jpg "Mortifix - Darkened Truth [Full Demo - 1992]
Mortifix were an American death/thrash metal band. Formed in 1991, they released Darkened Truth in 92 as their debut demo and later went on to record 3 more demos and their debut LP in 1999. However, the band broke up in 2001.
If you are a fan of hyperfast thrashy death riffs, Mortifix grabs you right from the get go with a raging opener, and they keep that high octane hyperviolence until the very end of the demo. The short breaks they take are no longer than 15 seconds and their tempo never goes lower than a rather speedy mid-tempo. If you like shit like Opprobrium/Incubus, Insanity or Merciless, Mortifix is right up your alley.
Tracklist:
00:00 - Darkened Truth
02:57 - Now I Hate

Absonant Cadence were a Canadian (tech) death metal band. They formed in 1992 and released 2 demos and 1 album, this one being their first release ever.
When I say tech death, I dont mean the modern style of tech death, like Archspire, Spawn of Possession and such bands. I just mean that these guys have really intricate riffs - they start and stop and swirl around, they do a little bit of fret vomit and then go back to chugging a little bit, etc etc... - that are still pretty grounded on mid 90s death metal. Another thing that truly sets these guys apart though is the fact that they dont have a vocalist for this demo! Its 100% instrumental. The technical riffs definitely help that fact go by unnoticed, but when you do notice you cant go back. Its interesting because its so uncommon. Most tracks in this demo would later be re-recorded for their 2nd demo and the debut album and they all include vocals, if thats more of your thing.
Tracklist:
00:00 - Dreed the Unknown
03:55 - Nocturnal Cycle
06:42 - I, Is the End
10:17 - Emergence

Leprosy were a Greek death metal band, etc etc I wont repeat myself, all the info about the band is in the description of the previous video - instead, have a fact about the band: everything they ever released was self-released, meaning they recorded, funded, paid and distributed all their material without any exterior help.
This one keep their European roots but dwelves a little bit into Americanized influences and a bunch more of melody. Also, symphonic black metal riffs in Darkest Hope (which is probably the bets fitting track title out of them all other than September Black). All in all, this EP is pretty much what if Penetration of the Soul but with more melody.
