UMUR
"Ghoul's Night Out" is a demo release by US, Oakland, California based death/thrash/grindcore act Ghoul. The demo was independently released in 2001. Ghoul were formed in 2001 by members of death metal act Impaled and "Ghoul's Night Out" is their debut release.

The music style is filthy and raw sounding death/thrash metal with goregrind elements. It´s strongly influenced by early Carcass. The demo features 4 tracks. The first three tracks on the album are originals, while the closing track is a cover of "Ghoul's Night Out" by Misfits. A great cover actually, but the original tracks are also quite charming too. It´s so and so with the originality of the music, but it´s both powerful and a lot of fun if you enjoy the style.

The sound production is organic and raw, but not too primitive to enjoy, and it suits the music well. So all in all "Ghoul's Night Out" is a promising first release by Ghoul, and as a demo it works well showing what Ghoul are about. A 3 star (60%) rating is warranted. And that might even be a bit too low.
