Uploaded August 2023 | Updated September 2026, 1 day ago
Streetcleaner were a hardcore band from Illinois, USA. I have no idea when they formed, disbanded or if they released more material (I sure wish they did) since little to no information about this band is available online.
This upload sticks out like a sore thumb since it's possibly the first upload on the channel that's not primarily metal - however, if you're into the more chaotic side of sludge metal or hardcore punk, this demo is the right thing for you. Super drudgy guitars, sore throat screams (often processed through guitar amps) and a huge "fuck you" attitude.
Man, I love punk so much...
Tracklist:
00:00 - Fighting For The Pink Team / Ecocide
01:10 - Integrity - Hashbrown
03:42 - Ska Free Youth
04:31 - These X's Mean I'm Better Than You...
05:56 - My Life as an Emotional Disaster
07:08 - Bovine Retaliation

Necrologi were a 5 piece death/thrash metal band from Catalonia, Spain. This self titled demo with a baller skeleton is the only thing they ever put out there.
This is a very amateurish demo, no one is really super proficient with their instruments and that adds up to a very natural feeling demo for those with a knack for that DIY feel. They never really have fast tempos, which is another DIY stamp from those smaller bands with members that never really played music other for the love of it.
Tracklist:
00:00 - Intro/Triste Realidad
05:30 - Por Huevos
07:26 - Greenpeace

Windbreed were an American death metal band and were active from 1992 to 1996. During their runtime, the band released this demo, a live album and 2 EPs.
Into the Breed opens up with a track thats more doom/death with some uh... shall we call it interesting creative choices. Anyway, as soon as that track is over (dont get me wrong, it is a cool track), Windbreed release the hounds and ferocity reigns. From Dying in the Mourning Sun to Into the Breed (damn these do sound like death/doom track names) its no frills death metal. The vocals are specially interesting because of the effects they overlaid on them, super neat stuff.
Tracklist:
00:00 - Left Before Me
05:40 - Dying in the Mourning Sun
09:56 - Dimension of the Chrome Rose
13:07 - Thoughts of an Everyday Hunger
16:34 - Eyes to Eternity

![Hormigon - Hormigon [Full Demo - 1992]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/hq2xV5BvTGU/mqdefault.jpg "Hormigon - Hormigon [Full Demo - 1992]
Hormigon were a short lived Spanish death metal band who formed in 1992 and disbanded in 1995 after releasing 2 demos... They have, however, hopped in the very modern trend that is reactivating your old band after like 3 decades and released 2 LPs since 2019, one in 2020 and another in 2022.
They play some beefy death metal, very 90s style, akin to maybe Sinister, Acrostichon or maybe a bit of Krabathor?... maybe....
Actually, these guys are perfectly in that 90s middle ground death metal that doesnt sound exactly like any major, genre-defining band but also sound undeniably 90s and I just cant wrap my head around it. This happened many times to me before while figuring out what to write in my little comments about the demos. I need a good benchmark band for this kind of style and I just dont know what to compare this style with!!
Tracklist:
00:00 - Possession
03:00 - Defecation of Justice

Lacerate come from Thailand and this brutal death metal demo is their second output after forming in 98. Since that date, they have released 2 demos, 3 splits and 1 EP. Their last release was in 2004 and, surprisingly, apparently, theyre still active today. This specific version Ive uploaded here is a re-release by Terror From Hell Records that includes an extra 5th track.
In these 20min, expect late 90s 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
Tracklist:
00:00 - Soul of Revenge

![Skeletal Remains - Legions of the Undead [Full Demo - 1994]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/iha6_beqbSU/mqdefault.jpg "Skeletal Remains - Legions of the Undead [Full Demo - 1994]
Skeletal Remains, not to be confused with the still active (and still very good) death metal band from California, were an American death/thrash metal band. Very little is known about them and as far as I know this demo was the only thing they ever put out.
It mightve been the only one, but god damn this shit is vile as fuck. Reminds me of those late 80s demos by Necrophagia, Necrophile (which I uploaded a while back), Deceased... or even Insanity, even aesthetically. This doesnt even sound like 1994! Too primitive for 1994 but at the same time it just makes sense that it couldnt exist before because its too ahead of the 80s! That last half of Legions of the Undead stands out so much, after three and a half tracks of intensity those slower and reverbed riffs are a gift of the gods. And the sample playing over the riffs? Shit man, I can never get enough of that. The sample from Bride of Re-Animator on Laughing in Hell is the cherry on top.
Super good, if this Skeletal Remains had kept going they could have definitely been another American powerhouse of death metal. That taste-defining kind of shit we rarely find. Definitely one Ill come back to often.
Tracklist:
00:00 - Crying of Your Soul
03:04 - Reap What You Slay
07:31 - Process of Possession
11:00 - Legions of the Undead
17:50 - Laughing in Hell
Couldnt find any links friends, probably because the other Skeletal Remains is much, much more popular

Carnifex were a 4 piece death metal band form Russia. Apparently they only released this demo under Carnifex and then another under Anubis... And thats it, thats all the information out there about this band. The music files came to me without cover art or band logo, I had to fetch a random image from the internet for background. I cant even guarantee that the band/demo/track titles are correct.
Mostly mid-tempo death metal with a silly ass instrumental interlude. The riff that opens Human Dogs sounds like video game music and I love it. On that note, Im pretty sure the drums sound programmed even tho Metallum credits a drummer...
Tracklist:
00:00 - Nightmare of Hell
03:53 - Fierce Heat
08:28 - Marauder
12:19 - Human Dogs

Archaic Mass are (!? whoa theyre still active?) an American hyper fast death metal band. They released 3 EPs ever since they formed in 1988, all of them during the 90s, Canticles of Dissolution being their 2nd release.
These guys woke up one day and were like You know what would be cool? Thrash but like SUPER fast, eh? and recorded 3 EPs that sound like the embodiment of aggression. Think a notch above early Pestilence or other underground bands like the Frenchies from Mutilated with their Psychodeath Lunatics or the American band Parricide with the A Future of Suffering demo. Just high octane shit and nothing else. Bulldozing riffs!!
Yes this is already up on youtube, but shit I really like this and wanted to have it on my channel!

![Terteros - Beyond the Tales [Full Demo - 1992]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/jQBIjebM_Ng/mqdefault.jpg "Terteros - Beyond the Tales [Full Demo - 1992]
Terteros were a German death metal band. Formed in 1991, they released only 2 demos, Beyond... being their debut.
Its a very beefy demo, with a solid blend of low tuned and high tuned guitars, giving it a more unique sound. The bass is also present here more often than the average osdm demo, and the kick drums are super chunky. The band stays mostly at a mid-tempo, but still uses faster riffs to bring out their aggression from time to time. Terteros have some super interesting quirks in their music, nothing too over the top nor noticeable, but if you pay attention to the music and are used to the genre, you will definitely notice them.
Tracklist:
00:00 - Beyond the Tales
06:33 - Ravenous Exhumation
11:25 - Claustrophobia
16:22 - Massacre

Diabolical Regurgitations is Shrieking Demons debut EP, 16 minutes of gross, putrid and abhorrent death metal.
Honestly, this being a Caligari Recs release automatically lets you know that this is a good release. 16 minutes of Autopsy, Abscess and Dream Death worship, an incredibly solid and top tier list of influences - and they used all of that potential in this EP. The songs flow perfectly into eachother and variety is a thing that doesnt lack. Its enticing and makes you want more from the band.
With members of Cancer Spreading, Gravesite, Assumption, Bottomless, Becerus, and many others! A very promissing release, dont sleep on this band....
Tracklist:
00:00 - Water Drop Torture
04:10 - Hidden Cathedral of Diseases

Moral Terror Vol. 1 is the first EP in a 3 part series to be released by the sludgy death/doom warmongers Holy Terror in 2022.
This EP marks a slight shift in the sound of the band, having Holy Death incorporated influences froum Louisianas incredibly recognizable style of sludge metal. Both tracks are fierce and spiteful, straight into the riffs. Unlike the previous material, the tracks are only 2 minutes long, which means the band condesed their full potential in both death and doom into powerful bursts of hate. Mortal Terror Vol. 1 also shows a significant punk influences (probably came along with the sludge) that greatly improves the music.
Moral Terror Vol. 2 to be released in June 3...

![Xerasia - Rehearsals 90 [Full Demo - 1990]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/kfW33j0wbD0/mqdefault.jpg "Xerasia - Rehearsals 90 [Full Demo - 1990]
Xerasia were a Nordic death metal band. Formed in the 80s as Dark Device, the band went through various name changes, being known as Xerasia only during the year of 1990, quickly moving on to Embryonic and lastly as Thou Shalt Suffer from 1991 onwards. This rehearsal tape was the only thing they ever released as Xerasia.
Probably the most interesting fact about this band is that it features Tomas Haugen and Vegard Tveitan, better known as Samoth and Ihsahn, who you probably know as founders of the legendary black metal band Emperor. In Xerasias last iteration, Thou Shalt Suffer, you can already hear some of the ideas those two would develop later in Emperor
The original tape only had the first 3 tracks, but since I got my hands on some 2 extra tracks I decided to include them here. If you want a nice insight on how the death genre was evolving from the late 80s into the early 90s, this demo gives you a pretty nice example. Still super thrashy but already included many of the characteristics we know today of death metal.
Tracklist:
00:00 - Morbid Silence
08:05 - Beyond Reality
13:42 - Throne of Blood
20:46 - Forsaken in Hell
