A twisted recess of mind...

Genre: thrash metal

Difficult to obtain, "Excursion Demise" from 1991 is a rare gem of thrash metal. It is stylistically close to Sepultura of the "Beneath the Remains"/"Arise" era, also drawing on Slayer, but offering plenty of originality.

The tunes are generally fast-paced and full of evil-sounding tritonic guitar riffs, and Jacob Schultz' solos which seem to be inspired by Kirk Hammet's use of the wah pedal and Kerry King's use of shredding and the whammy bar suit the music very well. Per M. Jensen's explosive drumming seems to be primarily inspired by Dave Lombardo and Igor Cavalera, and he certainly displays skills rivaling theirs. The structure of the songs on this album is generally more complex on terms of time- and tempo changes than seen with many of the extreme metal acts of the early 1990s and late 1980s.

"Excursion Demise" is recommended to any would-be extreme metal aficionado.
