UMUR
"Lacerated" is an EP release by Danish, Silkeborg based death metal act Dawn of Demise. The EP was released through Deepsend Records in October 2008. It bridges the gap between the band´s debut- and second full-length studio albums "Hate Takes Its Form (2007)" and "A Force Unstoppable (2010)". Guitarist Jakob Nyholm has left since the release of the debut album, and as he hasn´t been replaced here, Dawn of Demise is a quartet on "Lacerated", with Martin Sørensen handling all guitars.

"Lacerated" features two new original tracks and three covers of Suffocation, At The Gates, and Obituary. The original compositions are brutal, groove laden, and technical death metal and they are both quality tracks. Dawn of Demise were never the most unique sounding act on the scene, but they´ve always produced memorable and crushingly brutal material, performed with great passion and conviction, and that counts for something too. I can´t say I find neither the cover of "Infecting The Crypts" (Suffocation) nor the cover of "Turned Inside Out" (Obituary) to be more than decent, but "Blinded By Fear" (At The Gates) is a bit different from the original as a consequence of the more meaty and brutal sounding production values, and that makes it worth a listen. It is however the two original compositions which are the most interesting tracks on "Lacerated".

As mentioned "Lacerated" features a meaty, brutal, and detailed sound production, which suits the material perfectly. The performanes are also of a high level from all involved and upon conclusion "Lacerated" is a good quality release by Dawn of Demise and a 3 - 3.5 star (65%) rating is warranted.
