"Darkness Unveiled" is a demo release by US, Seattle, Washington based death metal act Infester. The demo was recorded in September 1992 and released on cassette tape later that year. The band formed in 1991 under the Threnodist monicker but changed to the current name in 1992. Two of the four tracks from the demo ("Darkness Unveiled" and "Clouding of Consciousness") were released in February 1993 as the "Darkness Unveiled" 7" vinyl single release.

Stylistically this is some pretty basic old school death metal with both fast-paced, mid-paced, and slow parts. The lack of lead guitar parts makes it a slightly one-dimensions listen. It´s a shame really, because the 1991 Threnodist demo these guys released featured some lead guitar parts which made that demo a relatively more varied release). It´s relatively well performed and the growling vocals are brutal and high in the mix. The sound production is decent considering that this is a demo recording and although "Darkness Unveiled" definitely isn´t the most unique sounding US death metal demo from the early 90s, there are enough good quality elements here to warrant a listen og two. A 2.5 star (50%) rating is warranted.
