ANTHONY Two Songs of Sorrow

UMUR
"Two Songs of Sorrow" is a single release by Finnish thrash metal act Anthony. The single was independently released in 1991. It follows the release of Anthony´s two 1989 demos "Impossible Mission" (May 1989) and "Perfect Violence & Concrete Destruction" (November 1989). "Two Songs of Sorrow" would be Anthony´s last release in their original run as they disbanded shortly after its release.

Compared to the material on the two demos, Anthony have obviously been influenced by the then popular Finnish death metal scene and the two tracks on the 11:59 minutes long demo are death metal with thrash metal roots, rather than the brutal and aggressive thrash metal which Anthony played on the demos. The quality of the songwriting and the performances are as high as ever. Anthony were an incredibly well playing band and they knew how to compose varied and effectful death- and thrash metal tunes too.

The sound production is a bit rough around the edges, but if you can forgive the raw nature of the recordings, there are a lot of good quality features to revel in here. A 3 star (60%) rating is warranted.

UMUR
"Perfect Violence & Concrete Destruction" is the second demo recording by Finnish thrash metal act Anthony. The demo was independently released in October 1989. It succeeds the May 1989 "Impossible Mission" demo, which was Anthony´s first release after forming in 1988.

The material on the five tracks, 19:55 minutes long demo is brutal and aggressive thrash metal. Sometimes I´m reminded of a less technical and more punishing Coroner, and Anthony deliver this type of thrash metal with great passion and conviction. Although they may not focus as much on technical playing as Coroner do, Anthony are still a very well playing band and lead vocalist/guitarist Miitse Räätäri has a raw snarling delivery. There is good variation between fast-paced thrashy riffs and rhythms and mid-paced heavy parts, and the music also features quite a few clever and well sounding lead guitar parts.

"Perfect Violence & Concrete Destruction" features a near professional studio sound quality, and could well have been released as an EP instead of as a demo. The songwriting is varied, powerful, and memorable and upon conclusion "Perfect Violence & Concrete Destruction" is in every way a high quality demo release and a 3.5 star (70%) rating is deserved. Unfortunately only a 1991 single would be released after this demo and then Anthony disbanded.
