Wotan were an Italian death metal band. When they formed in 1987, the band played something closer to speed metal (even labeled "Epic Speed Metal" in Metal Archives), but as band members and years went by, they ended up with this sick death metal style. In 6 years, the band released 6 demos, their last one being in 1993.
"Inner Monstrosity" gives it all on the title - this demo is a fucking beast. Intro and outro aside, they never go slower than a mid-pace (and mid-pace for this demo's standards is still on the speedy side). Pure aggression and a lot of shredding, drums that feel like a punch to the gut and a devastating whirlwind of riffs.
Tracklist:
00:00 - Intro
01:52 - Drowned into Temptations
05:38 - Spiral of Suffering
09:51 - Perpetual Sense of Doom
15:44 - Inner Monstrosity
19:50 - Outro

![Voidd - Premontary Inscription [Full Demo - 1990]
Premontary Inscription is Voidds debut demo. Death/thrash straight from Japan! And man, I love japanese metal, those guys are the best, god damn. They always bring a unique vibe to whatever they touch.
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 dont know much about video editing)
Tracklist:
00:00 - Black Fate
03:00 - Hell Bound
07:32 - Betrayer
11:33 - Total Mayhem
14:50 - Outbreak of Evil (Sodom Cover)

![Pulverized Necrobrains - Totally Pulverized [Full Demo - 2022]
Totally Pulverized is the debut encoffination by Pulverized Necrobrains, a death metal band from Colorado, USA.
When I first found this demo I admit I was expecting your general murky, gross and low-tuned sewer death metal. The intro went by, then the first riff came - I still expected the same. But fucking hell when their second riff hit I was dumbfounded. This 3-piece band is doing fucking Demilich worship - for those of you that dont know, Demilich is easily in my top 5 death metal bands of all time. Of course I would love this demo! I cherish all Demilich worship i get in my hands, these lads even got the guitar and bass tones pretty much right, all they miss is the true frog vocals (but cmon I dont think anyone will ever top Bomans, so Im not even complaining).
Oh, and what was that in the last track? A disEMBOWELMENT passage? Did I hear that right?
Fucking hell these dudes just show so much potential. Someone please get them a place for them to record a debut album already and it might just make it into my top 5 of the yeah when it releases.
Tracklist:
00:00 - Intro
00:45 - Enucleation
03:23 - Drained
06:13 - Organs Squirting

![Floridian Hippies - Fuel Injected [Full EP - 2022]
Floridian Hippies are back with another hard hippie hitter, straight outta Finland. Fuel Injected is 12 minutes of rotted weed and Californian sewer waste, merged with an undeniable Finnish influence.
There is as much Autopsy as there is Convulse, as much Impetigo as there is early Xysma. I even dare to say I heard a bit Demilich in some passages.
Personally, this band is all I like in death metal and some more. Even if they dont stray from the usual modern low tuned and grimy style, Floridian Hippies managed to deliver a fresh sound that mixes influences that surprisingly are rarely seen together. Merging that with their unique hippie theme and aesthetic... It couldnt ever go wrong.
Tracklist:
00:00 - Fuel Injected
02:23 - Yeah!
05:32 - Blues for the Cosmos
09:40 - Napalm Hippies
11:30 - Kaikki Haisee (Puhelinkoppi Cover)

![Augmentation - The Dead [Full Demo - 1990]
Augmentation were an American crossover thrash band. There isnt much information about them out there, I only know theyre from Chicago because its written on the tape. According to discogs, this was their only release.
The Dead is just moshing music. Its not very deep, it barely has diversity and sounds like anyone couldve written it - but what it lacks in those aspects, it compensates with attitude! And thats what matters when all you want is to mosh around with a beer in your hand.
Tracklist:
00:00 - Release Aggression
03:04 - The Dead
06:00 - Rotting Inside
08:50 - Harlem Boys
10:48 - Shattered Brains
12:22 - Road Kill

![Myosotis - Manyways [Full Demo - 1996]
Myosis, from the Netherlands, were a 5-piece death metal band. During their active period, this demo was the only thing they officially recorded.
This demo is mostly mid-tempo, but I think they really ace the faster bits. They take some hints of Death/Autopsy and mix them with maybe Depravity? Baphomet? Something around those lines...
Man, I hate that Ive been listening to death metal for so many years now and Im still terrible at properly remembering/identifying similarly sounding bands unless its like Death, Autopsy, Asphyx or Incantation....
Tracklist:
00:00 - Infected
03:02 - World Insurance
07:22 - Speaking in Riddles
10:24 - Botanicus Morbidicus
15:27 - Interferace
18:39 - Many Ways

![Grey - Suspended in Time [Full Demo - 1996]
Grey were an American brutal death metal band that sung about... Aliens! For those who dont know, a grey is that sterotypical, slender, big headed alien we all know of - but instead of green, theyre grey. The band formed in 1996 and apparently this was their only release.
The cover art really is something, I almost find it funny how they used wingdings for the symbols. Anyway, as silly as the bands image might look, the music is actually pretty damn good. Unfortunately, track 2 cuts off abruptly and I was never able to find the full version of that song, but I really liked Greys demo so I decided to upload it anyway.
Tracklist:
00:00 - Grey
03:08 - Suspended in Time

![Disbelief - Promotion Tape [Full Demo - 1992]
Disbelief are a German death/thrash/sludge metal band. Formed in 1990, the band has released 4 demos, 1 EP, 1 split and a whopping 10 LPs, their last one being released in 2020. Throughout the long run time of the band, a lot of class act names have beein through their line-up, such as Cornelius Althammer from Ahab, Karsten Jäger from Morgoth or Wolfgang Rothbauer from... a bunch of great bands actually, among many other.
It is true that right now the band does play a super sludgy style of deathrash, but at their very inception Disbelief were straight up death metal, a very bone grinding death metal band. They do hint at some of their later material with moments like the clear vocals in Blackness, but other than that its just non-stop riff. It is a fact that I love their sludge debut, but god damn I wouldnt have minded a single bit if they kept the energy they had on this promo tape.

00:00 - Blackness

![Estropia - Demo 91 [Full Demo - 1991]
Estropia were a Swiss death/thrash metal band and this demo is their only known output.
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 90s french death/thrash style of Massacra, Agressor or Loudblast, if death/thrash is your thing you CANT sleep on this one!
Tracklist:
00:00 - Knife Grinder
04:48 - The Mad Race
06:52 - The Art of Murdering
12:02 - The Deathship
14:48 - Giving to Recieve

![Bloodcurdling/Ganglion - Seepage from the Catacomb Walls/The Gates of Crimson Torment [Full Split]
A split straight out of the depths of Rlyeh, with unsurmountable quantities of death/doom and eldritch synths. A true treasure for fans of cavernous sounding death metal.
A split that, to me, sounds very influenced by diSEMBOWELMENT, Winter, Cianide, Decomposed and even the modern legend Worm (their death doom outputs, not the most recent meloback-leaning ones, of course). If any of these things tickle your fancy, youre in for such a good time. Theres atmosphere, skanks, synths and deep growls.

![Linceul Charnel - Flows [Full Demo - 1996]
French death metallers Linceul Charnel formed the band in 1996 and released two demos: Flows, their debut, in 1996, and Repugnance in 1998. Both rather long releases, specially for demos, but not without some artistic merit.
The length brings along some atmospheric bits, clean soft instrumentals and some uncommon calm for a death metal demo. However, when the death starts going it really goes. The vocals are really nice, like a dog snarl, not exactly gutturals but not just 80s death metal where its just harsher thrash vocals, you know? Preference for the melodic bits is arguable, but hey I really like it when they slow down a deliver a beefier straightfoward death metal riff. Drums are great too! I wish the kick wasnt as click-y but oh well. If youre not totally bored by the 20min mark then its a great demo to spend time with!
Tracklist:
00:00 - Natural Cycle
04:48 - Last Apparition
08:34 - Celumessen (in the Flowing)
10:33 - Female of Temptation
15:34 - Beyond the Grave
21:53 - Mental Attractions
28:33 - Mischievous Divinity of the Seas

![Blaster - En Tu Interior (Real Introspección de Una Vida Sin Sentido) [Full Album - 1997]
Blaster are a Mexican death metal band and En Tu Interior was their second full length album.
I gotta say theres not much to be said about this album. Its 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. Its kind of a gamble when the next one is gonna come, you never now! And by the end of the album youre so used to it you might not notice anymore...
Tracklist:
00:00 - Calma
04:38 - En Tu Interior
09:18 - Biomas
12:28 - Tal Vez.. Yo Fui
16:46 - Dentro del Sopor
