SANGUINEOUS demo 2009 Review

SANGUINEOUS (Australia) – Expurgating life from earth
Demo tape 2009 – Self released
4 tracks – 18'54
Rated: 6/10
Featured in my previous issue, SANGUINEOUS unleashed this second demo tape release. The band doesn't calm down and gets higher in intensity and extremism. SANGUINEOUS is not the typical death metal band, it's more a studio project or let's say an laboratory experiment, a sick creature that escaped its cage, a monstrous metallic representation. SANGUINEOUS plays ultrafast dark brutal death metal, a kind of MORTICIAN meets INCANTATION under crack. The high speed reminds me sick shit like MENTAL HORROR or the polish MASTABAH. The guitar sound is far better than on the previous MCD, and the drum machine still sounds as a drum machine. The almost incessant pounding may be the main reproach concerning this stuff, nevertheless SANGUINEOUS still kept their morbid and brutal mood, cool guitar solos and the low guttural vocals. I just miss some slow and heavier parts one could find on the EP that made good alternances between fast parts and slower ones like the last track « Pious souls captured by oblivion ».
