UMUR
"Some Call It Educational and the Others Just Domestic Violence" is the second demo recording by Finnish, Tampere based death/thrash metal act Menticide. It´s the successor to the "Enforcer" demo from earlier that same year. Menticide formed in 1988 and released two demos in 1990 before disbanding.

Stylistically Menticide still play a hybrid thrash and death metal style, but they´ve become sligthly more dark and brutal on this demo compared to the "Enforcer" demo. The music has also become a bit slower and more heavy, although Menticide still occasionally play some fast-paced thrashy riffs and rhythms. The vocals are raw throaty growling and haven´t changed much since the first demo.

The sound production is a bit more murky and less powerful than on the first demo, which isn´t a positive in my book. Menticide are a pretty well playing band and all details of their music deserves to be heard, but that´s difficult when presented with these sound production values. So upon conclusion I´d recommend listening to the "Enforcer" demo before this one. A 2.5 star (50%) rating is warranted.
