UMUR "Dimension Demented" is a demo recording by US, Tampa, Florida based death metal act Brutality. The demo was released in 1989/1990 and it was originally produced in 1.000 cassette tape copies. Brutality formed in 1986 under the Abomination monicker but after releasing a demo they changed their name to Brutality. They released two 1988 demos under the Brutality monicker before releasing "Dimension Demented".

Both the Abomination demo and the two 1988 Brutality demos are in a raw and simple thrash/speed metal style, which brings Venom to mind, but "Dimension Demented" is slightly different. It´s obvious the band have become more skilled on their instruments and their songwriting has also become more powerful and interesting. Stylistically Brutality still don´t play death metal (like they are known for today), instead the eight tracks on the 24:24 minutes long demo are brutal crossover thrash metal. The vocals are nicely aggressive and I´m occasionally reminded of a less death metal growling Glen Benton (other times the vocals are more screaming and hardcore influenced). Sometimes the music is dark and heavy, and sometimes it´s fast-paced and hardcore influenced (The closest reference I can come up with is the Peter Steele fronted Carnivore). The hardcore influenced "World War III", which was one of the tracks featured on the last demo, is also included here.

The sound production is dark, heavy, and slightly murky, but still audibly recorded at a professional recording studio. "Dimension Demented" is the first "real" studio recored release by Brutality. While this is certainly a both charming and intense release, it´s not exactly groundbreaking or unique for the style or the time, but a 3 star (60%) rating is still warranted.
