Nefarion were a death metal band from the USA. Formed in the early 90's, they released only 3 demos before quitting.
I feel like they wanted to mimic Deicide's sheer rage and spite in their music, but never quite achieved it - but they did do a LOT with what they managed to pull off. In these 15 minutes, you will hear pure hate in death metal form, with a guitar player that is all over the fret board, a drummer that matches that energy perfectly and a cacodemon on the vocals.
Tracklist:
00:00 - Horrid Desires
02:45 - Impaled Self-Sacrifice
05:55 - Inquisition
08:30 - Pleasurable Suffering
11:25 - Amalgamated Evil

Absurd Conception were an Italian death metal band. Formed in 88, Receptacle of Nonsense was the only release they ever did.
This band takes a LOT from crossover thrash, from the song structures to their overall attitude. Lots of super fast skanks and faster riffs followed by mid-paced melodic breaks. Death metal thats just begging to be accompanied by a circle pit.

00:00 - Invocation

Queiron are a Brazilian death metal band, formed in 1995. As of the upload of this video, the band have released 5 demos, 1 EP and 5 full-lengths (the latest one being in 2018). Quite surprising to find a band thats been active for 26 years without any downtime.
Blessed by Brutality of Evil might just be one of the cheesiest titles Ive ever seen, but damn if this doesnt scream late 90s DIY - and you know i fucking love these amateurish efforts to make music. Although the production isnt that great, Queiron still delivers some kick ass riffs, especially on the 2nd track.
Tracklist:
00:00 - Eternal Suffocation
06:35 - Youd Better Light a Candle...

![The Art of Butchery - Promo 95 [Full Demo - 1995]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/OO_PMpwcfv0/mqdefault.jpg "The Art of Butchery - Promo 95 [Full Demo - 1995]
The Art of Butchery were a Spanish brutal death metal band. Theyve released this promo in 95 and their debut album, My Pleasure is Your Pain a year later in 96. The album is literally this demo but with a more fitting production - yep, same tracklist and all!
While their music fits into the style of brutal death, Id say they are still very rooted in good old mid 90s death metal. Also, finding brutal death with some cosmic horror themes is always nice, not super common! Their first 2 tracks also diverge from the average broots track length, going up to the 7min mark! Its a shame the guitars sound quite thin sometimes and the kick drum isnt very powerful because damn the vocals go nuts sometimes, the drummer is really skilled and the riffs are pretty dynamic! This is something they would later work on a little for the debut album if youre interested in hearing this under a different light :)
Tracklist:
00:00 - The Cosmic Horrors
06:03 - With My Methods of Hate
13:15 - Syndrome of Total Spinal Cord Dissection
16:08 - Law of Talion
19:30 - Petrified in the Stillness
23:27 - Pressing Over the Limits of the Infinite

![Black Insanity - The Suffer [Full Demo - 1991]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Of_1hJze8fQ/mqdefault.jpg "Black Insanity - The Suffer [Full Demo - 1991]
Black Insanity are a death/thrash metal band from Germany. They have released 4 demos since 1987, The Suffer being their second release.
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. Its a really nice mix of the two styles (even if theyre not super super far from eachother)
Tracklist:
00:00 - Symphonies of Gore
03:41 - Welcome Dreamer
05:45 - Lets Die Religion
09:00 - Death Before Disco

![Sadomasochism - Demo [Full Demo - 1999]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Oo-XLpVGzCQ/mqdefault.jpg "Sadomasochism - Demo [Full Demo - 1999]
Sadomasochism, now known as Flesh for the Beast, were an American brutal death metal band. They formed in 99 and changed their name in 2004, after releasing 2 demos and 1 LP under the original moniker.
I had to do a little fact checking myself for this release since it isnt logged anywhere (Discogs, Metal Archives, etc etc...). I believe this is the right band were talking about. The address on the tape, Michigan, matches the info online and some track titles are the same as the 2001 demo. All that was left to do was listening to that demo and check out if the riffs match.... They kinda do. Sodomize Your Soul, renamed as Sodomize the Soul, Intestinal Remains, and Fucking the Rotting Corpse, renamed to Fucking Her Rotting Corpse, are quite a bit different, but Soiled closed the deal to me, the version you hear here is pretty close to what you get on the 2001 demo. So yeah, Im pretty safely saying this is the same band and all the other tracks were reworked.
All in all, very solid late 90s broots. Its always really awesome to find something that isnt registered anywhere.
Tracklist:
00:00 - Regius
03:09 - Sodomize Your Soul
07:59 - Fucking the Rotting Corpse
11:26 - Pre-Manufactured Hatred
15:06 - Soiled
19:31 - Intestinal Remains

![Asmodeu - Mortal Remains [Full Demo - 1993]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/P3-YcZoZFGs/mqdefault.jpg "Asmodeu - Mortal Remains [Full Demo - 1993]
Asmodeu were a death/thrash metal band from Brazil. Formed in 1988, they released 3 demos and this was their last recorded material.
Even though I included thrash as a genre for this band, their stuff sticks to mostly mid-tempo riffs. There are, of course, some faster bits but I feel like theyre interrupted too fast most of the times. Regardless, if you can over how much the crash cymbals sting your ears sometimes, its a really good piece of Brazilian metal, home of some of the coolest OG thrash!
Tracklist:
00:00 - Off the Beaten Path
03:25 - Mortal Remains
07:59 - The Edge
11:42 - Flesh and Bone
13:58 - Lethargy

![Burn Pile - Demo I [Full Demo - 2014]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/P4fnWGdbOXc/mqdefault.jpg "Burn Pile - Demo I [Full Demo - 2014]
Burn Pile hail from Washington in the US of A and you might not know how familiar you really are with this band. This demo is their only released material since the band members quickly went on to currently legendary acts such as Cerebral Rot, Mortiferum, Caustic Wound and Funebrarum. If you know the bands Ive just mentioned, I dont think you need any introductions to this demo, but if not (first of all, what are you doing? Go listen to them) let me have a crack at it.
Beefy, huge sounding, cavernous, raw death metal as it should be. You know Im very apologetic of 80s and 90s death metal, but man theres 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 dont sleep on this shit, Ive wanted to upload it for so long...
Tracklist:
00:00 - Calling the Hounds
02:39 - Skunk
06:13 - Holy Scourge

Conjuration were an American death metal band. Formed in 1988, they released 2 demos, Reality of Life being their second one, and a single, all in 1990.
Their breed of death metal is very thrashy, which makes sense for a band formed in the late 80s. Takes for sure influences from Demolition Hammer, Morbid Saint, Pestilence and sometimes I hear a little bit of Obituary - Cause of Death. Its a great demo for any fan of late 80s thrashing death metal.

00:00 - Sinister Chemicals
02:15 - Asphyxiation
06:10 - The Undertaker
09:19 - Reality of Life
13:13 - Feverish Plagues

The Day After single is the sole release of Portuguese thrash/death metal band Merciless Death. They formed in 1988 and, as far as I know, didnt release anything else on tape.
Being named Merciless Death, probably after the Dark Angel song, immediately shows their influences. They arent as aggressive as DA, but damn they do pack a punch. Probably a shame that we didnt get anything else from them.

Ancalagon were a french thrash metal band, active from 89 to 93. They released 3 demos, all of them self-titled, and the one youre listening to was their first one.
As far as thrash metal goes, they dont bring anything new to the table. Its early 90s thrash metal, pretty much disjointed from their punk and speed metal roots. If thats up your alley, be my guest and enjoy

Lobotomist were a delightfully amateurish death metal band from Canada. They only ever released this demo.
Straight up front, this demo isnt very good. Its not dynamic at all, mostly midpaced, has a super awkward tapping/shredding solo and it sounds like it was recorded while trying not to wake up their sleeping granny. Despite all that, I get a lot of enjoyment from these types of demos because someone took time out of their day to write these riffs, program those drums, record and master the demo and even drawing and painting that awesome cover art. I value man-made things a lot these days, and that makes this demo very valuable to me!
