UMUR
"Demo 1991" is the first demo recording by Norwegian death metal act Infinite Decay. The demo was recorded and independently released in September 1991. It´s the sole release from Infinite Decay, as they disbanded in 1992 with no further releases under their belts. Infinite Decay formed in 1987 and after they split-up in 1992 two of the members went on to form black metal act Limbonic Art. Guitarist Vidar Jensen would also appear on the Emperor related Zyklon performing lead vocals under his Daemon pseudonym on Zyklon´s debut full-length studio album "World ov Worms" (February 2001).
The four tracks on the 19:57 minutes demo is old school death metal with a nicely aggressive growling vocalist in front. At times I´m reminded of Morgoth, but Infinite Decay have a few more thrash influences and more aggression to their music. While the quality of the songwriting isn´t exactly a revelation of any sorts, the output is certainly both powerful and effectful. The sound prodution is a bit on the thin trebly side, but considering that this is a demo, the end result is arguably of a decent quality overall. A 2.5 star (50%) rating is warranted.
