Suhrim - Do You Still Have the Guts? [Full Demo - 1998]
updated
It's a '96 brutal release, it's hard for it to do anything that hasn't done before, if you've heard any popular 90's 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!

two demos and were active between '92 and '94.
"...Vita Est..." is really cool! The echo-y production (or lack thereof) really helps selling those riffs,
sometimes reminds me of what modern band Ossuary from Wisconsin was doing in their demos.
Mega dirty and mega slow!.... Except whey they shred! The closing riffs to the final track are insane!
Tracklist:

This is more akin to "deathened" thrash than anything else, think late 80's proto-death or super early death metal, like Pestilence, Incubus, Merciless or Prime Evil. It's nothing to write home about, but if you're a fan of that style you know what's in store!

Imma start this by saying this was taken from the band's bandcamp page (link down there) and I believe, by comparison with the tape card, the track #4 "Fever" is missing. I couldn't find it anywhere, otherwise I would've included it of course, but if you know anything about it let me know... However I find it weird that that track isn't mentioned anywhere, be it on Metal Archives, Discogs or the Bandcamp page - weird thing!
Anyway, mega beefy demo, often borders brutal death. The original artwork is way better too, I really don't like the new version they included in the Bandcamp release.

I unironically must've downloaded this accidentally in a forum, because I wouldn't touch anything with that artwork unless someone personally told me it was good, and one day decided to give a spin - "eh, why not?" I thought... - and it's really good! Nothing groundbreaking, but stupid beefy and very very grounded death metal. I hear some Massacra in there!
Dementia really weren't good at picking artworks for their music. The cover for the debut album, "In Core of the Dark Ages", is just atrocious, even worse than this imo. However, their second album "Answer" has a great cover art to compensate (and it's NOT because it has boobs, I just like the artstyle) :)

I gotta say there's not much to be said about this album. It's not specially good nor specially bad, its not too long either. What I think could set Blaster apart are the unconventional or weirdo song structures/riffs they often use. It's kind of a gamble when the next one is gonna come, you never now! And by the end of the album you're so used to it you might not notice anymore...

Very aggressive, incredibly thrashy (which is the band's best side, imo) and super catchy! I'd never expect such a cool demo from a band with "thrash" on the name...

I believe they took some notes from Goatlord and decided to give it their own spin. Sometimes the drums sounds exactly like Goatlord, specially the kick drum. The demo stays mostly in a mid-to-slow tempo during the first half, then you come across "Inn I Dype Skogers Favn", which is just black metal and blast beats for almost 2 and a half minutes, followed by "Syndernes Lidelse", that's essentially a 7 minute long outro (why did they do this?!?!?!?), and then the closer gets back to the real meat of the demo.
Tracklist:
00:00 - Wisdom of Darkness

If you can ignore that 99% of the demo will be in your right ear (or if you can turn on mono on your speakers), this is pretty good! Super amateurish death metal where you just have a bunch of dudes throwing rocks at their instruments for 15 minutes. Sometimes they remember they're able to play the instruments and pull out some tremolos and syncopated beats.
As you might guess from the band name, there is in fact some Morbid Angel influence...

Very beefy and kinda of weird sometimes (in a good way). Mixed in with the straight forward death metal songwriting, Experimentum Crucis sometimes throw in some random spoken voice, a bit of fret vomit and sudden bursts of energy. Poland doesn't disappoint, their scene used to be one of the coolest.

This demo really grew on me since I first listened to it, it's a shame the band had to split-up because I would've loved a 32min long LP that sounded just like the last two tracks.

Beefy, huge sounding, cavernous, raw death metal as it should be. You know I'm very apologetic of 80's and 90's death metal, but man there's some insane shit post 2000 too. Rawness definitely helps every other aspect in this demo, but the dynamic range of these guys is crazy too, from slow doom-y riffs to pummelling grinding bits. Honestly don't sleep on this shit, I've wanted to upload it for so long...

These guys still channel very well that feeling of late 80's death-leaning thrash metal, stuff like Death, Massacra, Amon (pre-Deicide) or Necrophiliac, for example. Very raw, very fast, super thrashy and, most important of all, very ammateurish... Just the way I like it!
If you want more music like this, check my previous uploads of Necrophile, Seventh Gate, Lycantrophy, Tirant Sin (pre-CC Chris Barnes band), Merciless Death,..... among many others!

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 don't know much about video editing)

Unlike their first demo, Sarcasmo went for a more straight forward death metal style, althought with some broots touch - think Abramelin, but more Brazilian if that makes sense.
They have 3 more demos - Funeral Corpse 1993, Incarnate In Your Body 1995 and Prision of Souls 1998 - if you guys have any of them I'd love to hear them! Email me the files if you could :)

Very broots influenced death metal, think early Cannibal Corpse with a mix of Morbid Angel sometimes. Those low gurgles don't lie!

Misery Index were seminal for me, one of the first bands that got me into metal. Found them while looking for bands that sounded like Assück... Ironically enough, this has almost no similarities to them. Either way, massive deathgrind packed into about 3min40sec - yeah not the whole 7min since the last track is essentially a pseudo-acoustic rendition of one of their previous tracks. I was surprised that the EP wasn't on youtube already since the band is quite popular now.

Despite the long, calm (and quite boring) intro, these dudes pack a punch. Just low growls and fast drums with the occasional death/doom-y bit (you know I like it slow and heavy!). It's just 14mins long, bit sized death metal that can fit anywhere in your schedule.

In terms of sound, Marazm are mostly punk with harsh vocals with that early Napalm Death, Terrorizer or Sore Throat attitude, making them essentially grindcore. Some tracks are more punk, but then theres "Misiaczek", for example, that's undeniably late 80's grindcore. Very raw, very pure, very catchy.

The opening track to this demo is almost misleading since it's essentially a deathgrind song while the rest of the demo is straight forward death metal. I have just one complain about this: the samples kinda suck :/ they're not interesting at all and break the pace built by the songs - specially when you have tracks like "The Northen Czech" that are 8min long with really varied passages, from straight foward to slow and melodic, and then have this weird sample about nothing before the following track... Which is almost deathgrind again? Ok man, the pacing of this demo is all over the place, fuck it. No one does weird like the Czech, man....

In these 20min, expect late 90's brutal death metal to the core. Raw and unfiltered riffs, unintelligible growls and non-stop aggression. Catches the spirit of bands such as Vomit Remnants, Regurgitation or Vile

This 2007 demo is packed witch skanks and punchy riffs. From the get-go is opens with the classic Incantation-style "tremollo-into-DUN DUN DUN-into-blast beat" opener that everyone must love. Simple, maybe overused, but super effective. After that, it's just skanky riffs with some breaks in between. Super cool, super sweet demo

Beefy death metal, really catches that mid-90's style. However, tracks like "Reggae" and "Onhcet" aren’t something you wouldn’t find in any death metal album... mostly because they’re not death metal... Can't judge too much, I don't listen to music like that. But the death metal parts? Tasty, beefy and really solid. If that opening dive-bomb doesn't sell you, I don't know what does.
I must say, I don't know where the last 3 tracks are from. Can't find any source that proves they exist associated with Disinterment, but the person that gave me this demo sent the whole package... If anyone knows let me know!

Disforterror's second demo is pretty much the same thing as the first but slightly more catchy, I'd say. Still chaotic, still war metal, still with a bunch of fret vomit - but man, it's good. Just like last time, if you really aren't able to overlook the sound quality I wouldn't recommend this to you, but if you're used to this kind of deal it's a really neat demo.

The recording quality on this is atrocious, super noisy and compressed, so I'll open this by saying that I'd only recommend this demo to completionists or demo afictionados. If you can get through that, you'll find some really chaotic death metal, I wouldn't even be afraid of calling it war metal. Some parts are pretty much unintelligible fret vomit but man I'm here for it

Porno were a Canadian death metal band. Formed in 1992, they have released 3 demos and more recently, back in 2022, dropped a compilation of all their material.
This band's style takes mostly from the beefed up early 90's american style of death metal, just down tune and low gurgles. You can hear some sweet sweet sloppiness on their music, specially when the guitar player wants to play too many different notes in quick succession - I love that! One of my favourite aspects of old school basement recorded death metal!

Underneath all the shitty sound recording you can find mostly mid-tempo death metal with some slower melodic-ish or atmopheric passages (which is where this demo gets most of the doom metal side of death/doom). I think the cover art looks cooler than the music itself, but hey it's still a fine demo and I'd listen to this anytime

This self titled demo is 1/3rd intros and 2/3rds actualy music, but if you can get through that you'll find some pretty cool mostly mid tempo down tuned death metal. The length is pretty ideal, doesn't overstay its welcome nor has chance to try to do so much it fucks everything up. The vocals are low as fuck with some wraith-like higher bits (but never high screeches), the drums and guitars are always in good sync, beefy and, even if they don't do anything new, on point with the delivery. I think I'll have to look for Overthrow's other demos!

"Hubris" was this band's second release and it's nothing more than a really cool and compact death metal demo. Feels like a midpoint between that Death/Possessed style of death metal, very thrashy, and the heavier, thicker sound you can associate with projects that started appearing in the early 90's.

Sometimes you can judge a demo by its cover, but this time I really mean the cover they did of Death's "Spiritual Healing". The other tracks take a bit of what Death was doing with that album and apply more aggression to it, you can feel some of the "Spiritual Healing" pacing and chords on them. It's not as melodic and it's mostly high tempo (unlike Death did, where they ended up playing with both high and low tempos more often) as "Spiritual Healing", but the attitude is there. Of course I have to mention that Strangulation aren't just a Death - Spiritual Healing worship band, you can hear riffs akin to something like Benediction or Purtenance - beefier death metal, I mean

Beefy and 0 bullshit death metal, straight up. Just low vocals, drum set carnage and raw guitars for 20 minutes. Think Immolation's "Dawn of Possession", early Sinister, Rottrevore or even Gorefest. A sweet find for any OSDM fan!

If you're familiar with Misanthropy, I think you would agree that Fifth Dominion's music could be described as "Misanthropy but more chaotic". They take what they did on "Bruised Opinion" and add some guitar wankery every riff and a half. It still have a bunch of straight forward moments, but now there's a bunch of technical breaks and a heavy use of synths for atmosphere.
After disbanding in 1994, some members took the band's name and made it "THE Fifth Dominion" and recorded a single death doom demo.

Thrashy through and through, you can expect a non-stop barrage of riff after riff. Undeniably influenced by Pestilence and showing touches of Merciless and that early 90's french death/thrash style of Massacra, Agressor or Loudblast, if death/thrash is your thing you CAN'T sleep on this one!

Doomy death metal through and through, that's what you should expect from this. No frills, just riffs. Straight up. Think a bit of Autopsy, a bit of Cianide, a bit of and then make the audio super lo-fi.

Their sound is a very curious one and reminds me of Ripping Corpse - not necessarily on the aggression (although Curse have their moments too), but more on the approach to death metal. It's a very technical and "mechanical" style of riffing sometimes and it perfectly balances the more straight forward moments (that never really stop being technical). It also has some bits where it could totally be described as progressive, but I wouldn't go as far as saying that's their main deal here.
These dudes definitely break the mold for Swedish death metal! A super interesting demo!

As far as thrash metal goes, they don't bring anything new to the table. It's early 90's thrash metal, pretty much disjointed from their punk and speed metal roots. If that's up your alley, be my guest and enjoy

Some bits of this demo remind me heavily of Possessed - Seven Churches while others remind me of something bands like Magus, Massacra or Incubus/Opprobrium would do. It's a really nice mix of the two styles (even if they're not super super far from eachother)

Unlike the demo, Ornaments of Mutilation is more straight foward and has less tempo variation. Its also shorter somehow. They decided to change the production for the album, which ended up sounding a bit weird sometimes, but its fairly easy to get over that. Also, the debut has triple the blast beats the demo had, sometimes sounds like they wanted to make a deathgrind album.

You see some war themed album and you already know it's wearing its influences on its sleeves. You know you can expect some beefy Bolt Thrower worship from this. You take that and join it with a modern style production and that great campy feeling you can only get with garage bands and you'll find Shellshock's sound.

This EP, the band's second release, is an interesting mix of death metal with sludgy and industrial influences. Rarely do they play straight forward riffs, there's always a break, a switch up or some other quirky thing. To me it really represents well that H.R. Giger style artwork.
Maybe not an EP for everyone, but if you're into unorthodox styles of metal you should definitely check this out.

This demo blends death/thrash with some huge melodic influences. Despite being very straight forward most of the time, tracks like "Another Pain Born" sometimes pull a melodeath riff out of nowhere - and I gotta say, I don't think it stands out that much.
Also what's up with that MKUltra ass photo they picked for the cover art?

Despite their current style being super techy and proggy, in their early years you can still hear the death/thrash-y groundwork that they started out with. They were always very technical and intricate with their riffs, sure, but manage it with a super straight forward finesse that doesn't really sound like wank bullshit to me - kind of in the same way as Ripping Corpse (actually, come to think of it, if you're into RC, you'll definitely like early Acid Death!)
All in all, a super cool blend of thrashy death metal with early 90's technicality that unavoidably shows what this band would later evolve into.

@larstangmark had uploaded this demo YEARS ago, but I liked it so much I wanted to highlight it once more. Super catchy swedish death metal, for fans of Crematory (swedish one ofc), Desultory and death metal that doesn't rely on exclusively low tuned guitars and low growly guitars. These guys go heavy on the high tremollos and vocals that sound like not enough air is going through that throat.
