UMUR
"Live Demo" is a live demo recording by US, Buffalo, New York based thrash/death metal act Malevolent Creation. The demo was recorded and released in 1989. It predominantly features tracks which would subsequently be recorded and included on their 1991 debut full-length studio album "The Ten Commandments", and a couple of tracks from their second demo tape, which didn´t make the cut for the debut album ("Epileptic Seizure" and "Violent Offspring"), or at least didn´t make the cut in the versions from this live demo ("Decadence Within" is for example titled "Decadence Within Within the Human Corporation" on this live demo). The demo also features a track titled "Scott´s Woman", which is a "fun" (or inappropriate for others) and pretty simple track, about wanting to have sex with bassist Scott O´Dell´s girlfriend. Naturally that one has never been included on later releases.

The sound qualiy is raw and unpolished, but the demo sounds authentic and the raw sound suits the material perfectly. It´s great to hear how well playing and enthusiastic the band sound on stage, and this is an example of a live demo recording which actually is worth listening to. A 3 - 3.5 star (65%) rating is warranted.
