UMUR
"Bloody Karnage" is the second demo recording by Canadian thrash metal act Slaughter. The demo was independently released in December 1984. It´s the successor to the August 1984 "Meatcleaver" demo.

Considering the poor quality of the first demo not much had to be done to increase the quality on "Bloody Karnage" and thankfully Slaughter have learned a trick or two in the months between the two demos. It´s only a few though as this is still crude, lo-fi recorded, and noisy hardcore/crust punk tinged heavy/speed metal with only a few riffs and rhythms per song. The vocals are a talking/singing raw type vocal style.

The distorted bass dominates the soundscape along with the thundering noisy drums, while the guitars are more or less buried in the mix. The vocals are relatively well produced and varies between the above mentioned talking/singing type raw vocals and some slightly more aggressive screaming. It´s a pretty extreme release considering the time of release, but that´s about it in terms of this being an interesting release. a 2 star (40%) rating is warranted.
