UMUR "Beyond Redemption" is the third (and last) demo by Swedish death metal act Afflicted Convulsion. The demo was independently released on cassette tape in the spring of 1990. Shortly after the release of the demo the band decided to remove the Convulsion part of their name and continue the band under the Afflicted monicker.

The preceding demo tape "Psychedelic Grindcore" from December 1989, was a live rehearsal demo, but "Beyond Redemption" was recorded during the spring of 1990 at Grottan Studios, Tyresö, and features a demo quality studio sound production. It´s still incredibly primitive and raw sounding, but it´s a bit more listenable and less muddy and noisy sounding than "Psychedelic Grindcore" (1989). The music style is a raw and aggressive type of death metal with deathgrind elements. The material is unpolished and not particularly interesting, but there are signs of future greatness here and there. Most tracks could have prospered from a culling though, being around 5-6 minutes long and losing steam after 2-3 minutes.

"Beyond Redemption" is arguably the most well played and most well sounding Afflicted Convulsion release, but that doesn´t say much considering the low quality of the first two demos by the band. It´s an example of a more deathgrinding early Swedish death metal recording, and in that regard it´s a bit unusual for the era, but other contemporary demo releases showed more promise and were more well composed/well performed too. A 2 star (40%) rating is warranted.
