UMUR
"Prolong the Agony" is the second demo recording by US, Wisconsin based death metal act Morta Skuld. The demo was released through Taste Your Own Blood Music in August 1990, so it´s the band´s second 1990 demo after releasing their first demo ("Gory Departure") in april 1990. Just like the first demo "Prolong the Agony" was also recorded at a professional recording studio and it features a powerful, detailed, and brutal sounding production job, which suits the material perfectly.

Stylistically Morta Skuld play a predominantly mid-paced (and sometimes faster-paced) and heavy death metal style, which is pretty standard for the genre. The growling vocals are there and get the job done, but they don´t add anything particularly interesting or unique to the music, so Morta Skuld already established their run-of-the-mill US death metal style this early on. There´s nothing bad here and "Prolong the Agony" is an enjoyable release while it plays, but Morta Skuld just don´t produce anything you haven´t heard before. A 3 star (60%) rating is warranted.
