Doom Snake Cult - Love, Sorrow, Doom
There are so many effects on the vocals that even Joey (ex-Anthrax) Belladonna would probably sound tough if he sang through their rig. The lyrics are atrocious. The super-slow riffs go nowhere. The solos are 100% jerk-off. The drums and bass are neither played nor recorded with any competence whatsoever. Rip out your lungs rather than listen to the Doom Snake Cult. Be prepared to take your own life to save your soul.

Dominus (Ohio - USA) - Parable of Death
This is pretty impressive. Heavy, but very clear production and speedy, brutal, and technical songs. The vocals are excellent. The more I hear this, the more I fucking love it.

Dogod - The Other Gods
Everything about this band is cool. Excellent production. The songs are all well-written and pretty memorable, which is helped by the vocals. These guys go for the kill at all times. There is no unnecessary bullshit - only Death. That’s a sorta basic approach, but it works really well for them.

Disharmonic Orchestra - Not to Be Undimensional Conscious
Extremely impressive combination of several styles. Could be described as Funky Death/Grind Groove. The track “The Return of the Living Beat” incorporates Rap as well. With this much experimenting going on it would be easy to sound sloppy or wimpy, but these freaks are tight, heavy, brutal and memorable. This is original and very cool.

Drowning Skin - Cranial Impalement
Straightforward Death Metal with a few interesting riffs and some Grind thrown in for kicks. Massively brutal vocals and poor production make this appear heavier than the guitars and drums would suggest, but that’s the beauty of a deficient production.

Disembowelment - Dusk
This is the first of the Relapse Underground Series. All three songs appear, in re-recorded form, on the band’s album, Transcendence Into the Peripheral (see review), and two of them are from their latest demo, so I guess if you’re a geek, you wouldn’t have to get this - but you would be stupid if you didn’t.

Disembodied (New York - USA) - Proliferate Carrion
Here’s a typical Death/Grind band from New York. The production on this demo really sucks: You can hardly hear the vocals. The music is basic, and had they put this out as a rehearsal it wouldn’t be so bad. If the production was better, maybe I could get more from the music. The best track here is “Rotting Mind.” All things considered, this could be really good, with some work. So keep trying, dudes!

Disciples of Power - Ominous Prophecy
Excellent production makes this Death Metal band really stand out. They have an original sound and everything about this album is great. I even like the technical guitar solos. Incredible. A fine album. ‘Nuff said.

Despair - Beyond All Reason
Interesting Thrash, with melodic vocals. Much in the same style as Forbidden, but featuring Marc Grewe (Morgoth) on backing vocals. Excellent guitar work throughout, superb recording and production and loads of double bass (always a plus), combine for a great album. “Deaf and Blind” and the instrumental “Crossed in Sorrow” stand out. While “Imported Love“‘s lyrics cause its downfall. All open minded readers should check this one out. Also, very interesting cover artwork…
