Demon Sword - Christ Blood

Posted on Wednesday, October 20, 2010

While I really hated this band’s self-titled first demo, I have to say that Demon Sword has improved vastly since then. This is the band’s third demo (I never got to hear the second one) and while it is stylistically similar to the debut, the playing is much better and the sound has also improved a lot. I’m generally not a big fan of the Grim Black Metal style as it tends to be underproduced and sloppy, but Christ Blood is tight and there is enough lower-end in the guitars to give the whole thing some crunch. The only major problem Demon Sword seems to have is the overly repetitive nature of the drumming. The beat is pretty much the same on the majority of their songs, resulting in the illusion that all of tracks on this CD sound a lot more repetitive than they actually are. Other than that, Christ Blood is one of the better Black Metal demos I’ve heard in a while.
