UMUR
"Promo 1992" is the fifth and last demo recording which Finnish death metal act Pestigore made in their initial run from 1990-1993. It seems to have been a last ditch attempt to try and secure a label contract, but it obviously didn´t pay off as Pestigore disbanded in 1993 without releasing any further material. All material from the five demos (including this one) recorded between 1990-1993 have been compiled and released on the "Rotten Bowel of Pestigore" compilation album (Headsplit Records, April 2023).

The demo features two tracks and a total playing time of 7:19 minutes. It´s the first material recorded by Pestigore which features anything close to a professional sound production, and it´s interesting to hear their music with more clear sounding and detailed production values. The thing is, that their music ultimately functions better in lo-fi, filhty, and unpolished sound productions, and some of their vile and slimy charm is lost on this recording.

Upon conclusion "Promo 1992" is not a good representation of what Pestigore sounded like, and although none of the preceding demos were anything worth writing home about, I´d still recommend listening to the "Twisted Perversions... Unbearable Delight" demo before listening to this release, to hear what Pestigore is all about. A 2.5 star (50%) rating is warranted.
