UMUR
"Reh. Tape" is a rehearsal demo tape by Finnish death metal act Paraxism. The demo was recorded on the 1st of March 1993. It´s the successor to the June 1992 "Demo I".
Stylistically the material on "Reh. Tape" is old school death metal with a few nods towards deathgrind, melodic death metal, and even a touch of death´n´roll (although the dose is minimal on this release). It´s a hint to what Paraxism would do on the next promo tape "Promo 93", but much more primitive, raw, and savage in execution. Needless to say that rehearsal demos don´t normally feature pristine sounding production values, but this is actually half decent in the world of rehearsal demos.
The band are obviously well playing and the material is intriguing, brutal, and raw too, so upon conclusion "Reh. Tape" is a decent quality release. A 2.5 star (50%) rating is warranted.
