Necrolord are an American death metal band. Formed in '92, they have released 6 demos, 9 EPs and 10 LPs (very prolific band). "Kingdom of Hell" was their second demo (if anyone has the "Feeding on Christians" demo and wouldn't mind sharing please send me an email) and it features very beefy guitars with very "by the numbers" riffage - and that doesn't mean it's bad, I actually dig this a lot. If you are into thick death metal from New York don't sleep on this band.
Tracklist:
00:00 - Curse Their Lord
02:27 - Feed from Blood
04:37 - Kingdom of Hell
07:07 - Deep Below Down Under
09:27 - Satanic Life
12:27 - No Saviour
14:47 - Under the Burning Church

D.V.C., aka Darth Vaders Church, were an American death/thrash metal band. Formed in 88 and broken up in 93, the band debuted with this demo and their first LP in the same year, following it up with their last album in 1992.
Despite having one of the silliest band names I ever heard and not taking themselves seriously in the slightest, D.V.C. have some of the harshest, head-ripping riffs for the late 80s. Super fast, super creative and super catchy, even the instrumentals. Their whole catalogue, and especially their debut, is incredibly overlooked/underrated. Love this band so much.
Tracklist:
00:00 - Cranium Overture
02:25 - Eve Angel
04:47 - Mortal Constrictor
06:50 - Bow of Mortis
09:46 - S.S. Dirthead

Formed in 1994, Pandaemonium were a Dutch death metal band. Theyve released 1 demo and 2 EPs and then just disappeared from the map.
This demo is really interesting. They got wild riff patterns like its tech thrash or something, it closes with a 7min long epic and they would later turn to brutal death metal which is kind of a long shot from what theyre doing here.

00:00 - Anthropophagous
03:31 - Into Decay

Dirge were a Russian death metal band and were active from 1993 to 1997. The 7 tracks you hear on this demo was the only material they ever recorded.
Doomy death metal through and through, thats 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.

00:00 - Dead Twilight

A short and sweet demo, classic old style death metal. Honestly, theres not much to say about this one... Its death metal! Its good!

Ambivalency were a Czech deathgrind band. Formed in 93, this group released 2 demos before splitting up, Material for Improved Death being their debut.
If youre down for some unserious deathgrind with pretty unhinged vocals, this is for you. With the exception of the samples and some slower bits here and there, this demo is just silly moments followed by drum annihilating beats and down tuned guitars. Its surprisingly catchy!

Cerecloth were British death metal band. Formed in 92, they band only released this demo and a single in 1993, splitting-up in an unknown year. It was formed by Darren OHara, guitarrist for Malediction, another band whose demos Ive uploaded a while back.
Despite the diminute musical output, Cerecloth delivers. They are mainly pure death metal, but there are some unmistakably death/doom influences to their sound, like the atmosphere and some songwriting. The band also often uses some techniques that early Immolation loved to use, like those high-pitched guitar schreeches, and some ethereal organs taken from the already mentioned death/doom side. Without saying much more about this short but super sweet demo, the closer really rounds up the other 2 songs and finishes it off with a fitting end.
Also a cerecloth was a waxed cloth used for wrapping a corpse.

Corrosive Instict (yes, Instict, thats not mymisspell, it the bands) were a Greek death metal band. They formed in 1997 and released a demo in the same year and this EP in 1999.
I kinda want to say this is your average late 90s death metal but then the band diverges into melodeath riffs and I dont know what to think... maybe that really is the generic kind of death metal from the late 90s, who knows!

00:00 - Horizon (Intro)
00:58 - Terminal Anguish
07:10 - Incorrect Perception
11:31 - Era of the Holocaust
16:40 - Philosophy of Desolation

Gravevoid are the latest goremongers in the scene, and with Sacrificial Menstrual Blood they present the beefy and huge sounding death metal style they will unleash November 6th on their debut EP Fetid Corpse!
Dont sleep on these guys, they sound super promising and for a first effort this is some next level shit. Its not every day you find such bestial, murky and meaty production for a recently-formed band.

Psychophony were a Spanish death metal band. They were active from 1993 to 2000 and recorded only two demos, Paradise of Souls being their first one.
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!). Its just 14mins long, bit sized death metal that can fit anywhere in your schedule.

Seventh Gate were an American thrash/death metal band. They only released 2 demos, A Divination of Masquerade being their last one.
If you listened to the Execution demo I posted last week, you will notice a huge improvement in the bands songwriting. Their death metal vein is also much more noticeable. Overall its a much more mature release and now we can pinpoint some clear influences - notably Pestilence, Possessed and a Death-like tapping technique - and even then, Seventh Gate still pull off some great, unexpected melodic, powerful and clean singing moments that are taken directly from their thrash influences (and for that, Somnulence might be my favourite track from this demo, its just so unique).
The only downside to this demo is that they dont have such a proeminent, jangly bass like they had in their debut - but you can rest assured that they compensate for that.
Tracklist:
00:00 - Step into My Dreams
03:31 - One Feeling
07:10 - Nocturnal Disease
12:31 - Consequence
17:34 - Somnulence

Skullcrusher were a Finnish thrash metal band, formed in 1997. They were rather short lived, having released 4 demos, last one in 2007, which was actually recorded in 1998 and picked up by a label, making Storming Onslaught their actual last one. In the title it reads 1999/2000 because I wasnt able to pinpoint an actual release date, different sources give me different years.
They remind me a lot of Slaughter Lord, thats for sure. Those Canadians left their mark in the thrash scene and Skullcrusher picked up where they left with some minor tweaks. Overall, its the same bit with a little less black influence, as well as a touch of death metal, and higher pitched vocals every now and then
