UMUR
"Demo 2011" is as the title suggests a demo independently released in June 2011 by US death metal act Artificial Brain. It´s of some notice that Artificial Brain features guitarist/vocalist Dan Gargiulo in their ranks. Dan Gargiulo is the new boy in the successful death/thrash metal act Revocation.

...judging from the quality of the material on this 3 track, 11:17 minutes long demo, I´m pretty sure Artificial Brain is a little hobby project Dan Gargiulo has on the side. It´s pretty obvious that the music on this demo doesn´t hold many chances of extreme metal mainstream appeal like Revocation do. The music on the demo is death metal with deep and completely unintelligible growling vocals. It´s the kind of demo where I couldn´t believe it was only 11:17 minutes long, because it felt like forever to get through. There are very few catchy moments and it actually wasn´t until the last couple of minutes of "Lightwaves Birthing Ages" that I encountered a riff I found exciting.

It´s too bad the songwriting isn´t more interesting because the guys are pretty skilled musicians and the sound production is strong too considering that this is a demo. I guess a 2.5 star (50%) rating isn´t all wrong.
