Funerarium (Luxembourg) - Demo 2005
Was this thing recorded in a truck stop bathroom? Perhaps in the woods or under water? With my stereo on full blast, I can faintly hear a decent Burzum/Hades rip-off, but the sound of the recording, with its varying levels and barely audible vocals, just cripples the attempt.

Flesh Grinder - Coroner’s Inquest Suit
Atrocious. Absolutely awful. Just the worst kind of Gore-Grind you could ever have to imagine. No skill, finesse or craftsmanship, just poorly recorded chunks of speedy and slow slop with sub par Walker/Steer vocal trade-offs spewed aimlessly about. Tenth rate Carcass. No talent. Pure shit.

The Firstborn - The Unclenching of Fists
Black/Death with Middle Eastern elements. These guys want a piece of that Nile pie. I guess everyone’s going to start doing this now. Sorry, I’ll pass. Innovators only, please. In summary, mukka lukka, derka derka, Mohammed jihad!

Power Metal.

Extinction Agenda - Extinction Agenda
Great opening sample, but that’s about as entertained as I get. Their hearts are in the right place, but they don’t quite have the skill to match. Imagine if Destruction had never practiced, or if Sodom had been from Kansas. Don’t give up, guys. Just improve.

Excessum - Death Redemption
Instantly forgettable, middle-of-the-road Black Metal.

Eternal - Satanic Templars of the Dark Age
Extremely impressive debut release for the Sinister Sounds label. Eternal blend ferocious brutality with majestic melodic sensibility, and achieve a passionate, epic Death Metal vibe comparable to the likes of Depresy and Garden of Shadows. There is also a slight touch of Black Metal barbarism that will rear its grim face once in a while, and lyrically the band is without a doubt traveling the left hand path. Just a solid release all around, an EP that belongs in any true Extreme Metal freak’s collection. Go right to: “End of the Usurper’s Reign.”

Emptiness - Oblivion
A band named Emptiness should sound, I don’t know… sad? Doomy? Empty-sounding, perhaps? I know it’s members of Enthroned, but come on. At least hit me up with some occasionally bleak. Then again, this is just some 3-track rough mix bullshit. The real product, I am told, features twelve tracks. But I wouldn’t know. It seems fair to me that when you only get 25% of the album, it’s okay to…

Ektomorf - Instinct
Instinct is a cheap, second rate, dollar store, carbon copy rip-off of Sepultura’s Roots album. Nothing more, nothing less. If you need that in your record collection, here it is.
