UMUR
"The Vomitous Demo" is the first demo recording by US, Seattle, Washington based death metal act Threnodist. The demo was independently released in 1991 and it´s the band´s only demo after forming earlier the same year and changing their name to Infester in 1992.
Stylistically the material on the five tracks, 23:33 minutes long demo is predominantly mid- to fast-paced (not blasting fast) old school death metal. The band are audibly still amateurs at this point and the playing is at times a bit questionable. When that is said the growling vocals are pretty effective and the band also have some interesting songwriting ideas. So this may be a very immature first demo recording, but it´s obvious that Threnodist had some good ideas but just needed time to hone their skills. The sound production is decent considering that this is a demo recording. A 2 - 2.5 star (45%) rating is warranted.
