UMUR
"Rehearsal/Demo" is the first demo recording by Finnish death metal act Pestigore. The demo was independently released in 1991. Pestigore formed in 1990 and released a string of demos before disbanding in 1993. All material from the demos recorded between 1990-1993 have been compiled and released on the "Rotten Bowel of Pestigore" compilation album (Headsplit Records, April 2023).
This demo features two tracks and a total playing time of 8:09 minutes. Pestigore play a relatively simple, raw, and predominantly mid-paced type of old school death metal. The vocals are deep and growling, and the two tracks are raw, brutal, and organic sounding. Pestigore were at this point not a band which stood out, and although the demo is of a decent quality it arguably lacks something unique to make it stand out. A 2.5 star (50%) rating is warranted.
