UMUR
"The Confessions of a Necrophile" is a demo release by Swedish death metal act Deranged. The demo was independently released in August 1992. Originally on Cassette tape. Deranged formed in 1991 and this is their debut release.

Stylistically the music is brutal death metal with effect laden unintelligible low register growling vocals. The lyrics are gore themed and pretty nasty, which of course is nothing unusual for the genre, even in those days. I guess they lean towards the Cannibal Corpse school of death metal and lyrical themes, but the material on the 4 track, 16:47 is generally mid-paced and there aren´t that many faster parts here, although they of course occur (including blast beats).

The sound quality is not that great, although you are able to hear what´s being played and the details of the compositions. It´s all just a bit murky and uninviting. The playing isn´t the most tight I´ve heard either, so while "The Confessions of a Necrophile" shows some promise, it´s certainly not a death metal demo which blows me away. If I´m quite honest it at times sounds pretty amaturish. A 2.5 star (50%) rating is warranted.
