UMUR
"Demo" is the first demo recording by Danish death metal act Afdød (translates to Deceased). The demo was independently released in October 2022. Afdød formed earlier the same year in the town of Slagelse.

The demo features two tracks and a total playing time of 10:32 minutes but as both tracks are around 5 minutes long you still get a good impression of what Afdød are about and what their intentions are for future releases. Stylistically Afdød play a sludgy, brutal, and predominantly mid-paced death metal style which features brutal growling and also some nice atmospheric lead guitar work. A few times I´m reminded of fellow Danes in Baest, but Afdød are generally slower and more brutal than their more well known countrymen.

Afdød have managed to create a well produced first demo featuring both good quality songwriting and some strong musical performances. This is definitely a quality demo release, which could just as well have been released as a single or an EP. A 3 - 3.5 star (65%) rating is warranted.
