Although DEMILICH only released one full-length album, they did release four demo EPs leading up to “Nespithe.” REGURGITATION OF BLOOD is the first of the series spanning the years of 1991 and 1992 and contains but one single track “Uncontrollable Regret Of The Rotten Flesh.” It is a lengthy morbid beast clocking in at 12:13 but displays the band’s progressive tendencies from day one. While the sound of this murky and grim sounding hellish track is clearly DEMILICH with the unique death metal gurgled vocals in the vocal fry register which really does sound like it was recorded in the depths of hell, the guitar riffs and accompanying instrumentation are much more basic and more akin to their thrash, grindcore and early death metal pioneer influences such as Bolt Thrower, Pestilence, Carcass and Napalm Death. For a murky demo though the talent really shines through despite this being the very first thing the band ever recorded. No need to hunt this down as it was released in cassette form only and probably impossible to find in that format. Instead find this on the digitally remastered compilation “20th Adversary Of Emptiness” which includes every single thing the band ever recorded.
