YDIN Sastaa demo 2008 review

YDIN (Finland) – Saasta
Demo CD 2008 – Self released
5 tracks - 18'20
Rated: 6,5/10
The cold and pestilent wind of Finland returns with their third demo. I enjoyed the previous works of YDIN and this third one kept the icy flame of their particular death metal. YDIN doesn't play it old school but is a rather brutal death metal act playing a very precise and murderous death metal with influences from the US and European scene (DIABOLIC, PESSIMIST, PANZERCHRIST, EXMORTEM...). This demo is probably less catchy than the previous one but it keeps a frozen atmosphere. The drumming is always as tight as a scalpel cut and sometimes it really plays fast (reminding KATAKLYSM in « Serenity in fire » with the ultrablast parts, eventhought I hate this album) but YDIN use these parts with parcimony, in fact there are very few.
Not their best stuff but it's above the average and certainly more valuable than all this bunch of technical deathcore bands. YDIN has established it's trademark and now I think a full album would be the following logical step.
