MENTICIDE Some Call It Educational and the Others Just Domestic Violence

UMUR
"Some Call It Educational and the Others Just Domestic Violence" is the second demo recording by Finnish, Tampere based death/thrash metal act Menticide. It´s the successor to the "Enforcer" demo from earlier that same year. Menticide formed in 1988 and released two demos in 1990 before disbanding.

Stylistically Menticide still play a hybrid thrash and death metal style, but they´ve become sligthly more dark and brutal on this demo compared to the "Enforcer" demo. The music has also become a bit slower and more heavy, although Menticide still occasionally play some fast-paced thrashy riffs and rhythms. The vocals are raw throaty growling and haven´t changed much since the first demo.

The sound production is a bit more murky and less powerful than on the first demo, which isn´t a positive in my book. Menticide are a pretty well playing band and all details of their music deserves to be heard, but that´s difficult when presented with these sound production values. So upon conclusion I´d recommend listening to the "Enforcer" demo before this one. A 2.5 star (50%) rating is warranted.

"Enforcer" is the first demo recording by Finnish, Tampere based death/thrash metal act Menticide. The demo was independently release in 1990. Menticide formed in 1988 and released two demos in 1990 before disbanding.

Stylistically the material on the two-track, 9:09 minutes long demo is a hybrid thrash and death metal style. To my ears it leans mostly towards death metal but the music also features thrash metal riffs and rhythms. It´s generally pretty creative music featuring many different sections and complex song structures. The vocals are hoarse throaty growling. The sound production is a bit murky and sometimes sound like it was recorded behind a closed door in another room, but other than that it´s a decent sound production suiting the music well.

Upon conclusion Menticide were probably too thrashy for their own good in an environment which craved brutal death metal, but in restrospect they play a relatively unique style of music, and they are a well playing unit too, so there are a lot of quality features on this demo. A 2.5 - 3 star (55%) rating is warranted.
