UMUR
"Demo 2" is the fourth demo recording by Norwgian death metal act Cadaver. The demo was recorded in January 1990 but it was never officially released (which probably explains the lack of a title). It was handed out to friends of the band though, and has made its way to the public through those channels. If I have to guess it´s maybe a pre-production demo for the December 1990 "Hallucinating Anxiety" debut full-length studio album.

The demo features five tracks and a total playing time of 19:34 minutes. All five tracks would also be featured on Cadaver´s debut full-length studio album "Hallucinating Anxiety" (released in December 1990) in what to my ears sound like different versions. Very little information is available regarding this demo though, so I can´t be sure. To me the sound production just sounds much sharper, clearer, and defined than the more raw and brutal sounding "Hallucinating Anxiety".

Given the fact that all material featured on the demo is also available on "Hallucinating Anxiety" it´s not the most neccesary release if you already own the album, but that doesn´t take away from the fact that it´s a high quality old school death metal recording and a 3.5 star (70%) rating is deserved.
