UMUR
"Obsequies" is the 2nd demo release by Swedish death metal act Gorement. It was self-released in November 1991. A remix of the tracks from the demo was used for the 7" vinyl single released in 1992 through Afterworld Records. A single that was limited to 1000 copies on pink vinyl. The four tracks from the 12:10 minutes long demo are (in their remixed form) also featured on the two compilation albums "Darkness of the Dead (2004)" and "Within the Shadow of Darkness - The Complete Recordings (2012)".

The music on the demo is raw and brutal old school Swedish death metal. Compared to the "Human Relic (1991)" demo the sound production is slightly more murky and raw, but it´s not a minus. Actually it´s only a plus and the atmosphere is that much darker because of it. The music style hasn´t changed much but then again there´s only 7 months between the two demos.

The quality of the material is high and the delivery is convincing. The music style is still much more raw and brutal than the case is on the debut full-length studio album "The Ending Quest (1994)", but still catchy and memorable. A 3 star (60%) rating is deserved.
