UMUR
"Desecration of the Graves" is the first demo release by US, Buffalo, New York based thrash metal act Tirant Sin. The demo was independently released on cassette tape in February 1987. Tirant Sin formed in 1985 under the Satan´s Angel monicker but soon changed their name to Tirant Sin. Tirant Sin released three demos before morphing into Cannibal Corpse along with members of another Buffalo thrash metal unit Beyond Death.
Stylistically this is aggressive and brutal thrash metal influenced by Slayer and also the contemporary German scene. The four tracks on the 11:42 minutes long demo are pretty standard for the genre, but still pretty solid. It´s obvious the band are pretty young and immature at this point (especially the vocals), but when that is said "Desecration of the Graves" is overall decent enough. The sound production is raw and unpolished, but it´s not unlistenable. A 2.5 - 3 star (55%) rating is warranted.
