EMBRIONAL Cusp of evil Demo 2006 review


EMBRIONAL (Pol) – Cusp of evil
Demo CD 2006 – Self released
6 tracks – 41'
Rated: 7/10

Recently formed by various members of still existing acts (BESATT, HELLISH & NOCTURNAL), EMBRIONAL is everything but not beginners. When putting the demo in the player, you immediately realize the guys are not here for posing purpose or for only releasing “just” another demo of death metal. Here we have a totally professional product with, firstly an obvious mastered musicianship, and secondly the music is supported by a really good production worthy to be a regular release. Good points that will certainly attract any clever label or I wouldn’t understand if they remain at the demo stage.
EMBRIONAL is a gathering of dudes coming from the black metal and thrash metal bands mentioned above. I didn’t know their former groups but here they unleash some more than decent satanic death metal in the Floridian vein. Evil riffs and dual voices in the DEICIDE way. They remind me a lot the band PESSIMIST with their pounding kick drums style (“the tempter”). At the same time, the use of triggered drums is a bit abusive, especially on the snare drum (like the drums on French ACT OF GODS releases). It gives a too much plastic sound but that’s my point of view. The tracks are long, 5mn and over, with very fast parts and slower ones, many variations without too much technicality, thus you got almost an album length, I guess more of their music could be monotonous on a longer basis. The demo ends with a killer and crushing instrumental, “Hallucination”, showing a more creative aspect of EMBRIONAL.
For a first release, it’s really more than encouraging.
