UMUR
"Syndromata Psychoorganica Ex Usu Medica Mentorum" is the first demo recording by Finnish death metal act Endermic. The demo was independently released in 1993. Endermic formed in 1992 and released this demo and the 1994 "The Darkest Cloud" demo before disbanding.

The material on "Syndromata Psychoorganica Ex Usu Medica Mentorum" is a combination of filthy and murky old school death metal and melancholic death-doom metal. Combine early Paradise Lost with early Carcass and Autopsy and you´re halfway there. Quality wise this is very amaturish though. The lead guitar parts are often performed out of tune and Endermic aren´t skilled enough musicians to handle a hybrid style either. Combined with a messy, murky, and lo-fi sound production, and musicianship which is arguably below the standard for even demo recordings, "Syndromata Psychoorganica Ex Usu Medica Mentorum" come off like a mess.

Even for a death metal demo from 1993 this is a bad quality release, and it does not present Endermic in a positive light. They should have spend more time in the rehearsal room before recording a demo, honing their playing skills and being more critical of their songwriting. A 1 star (20%) rating is warranted.
