UMUR
"Demo 1992" is the second demo recording by Finnish death metal/grindcore act Lifeless Vomit. The demo was independently released in February 1992. Lifeless Vomit formed in 1988 and released two demos prior to disbanding in 1992 (the first demo was released in 1991). All material from the two demos plus an unreleased demo from 2013 were compiled on the "Entrails on the Floor, Rock-Roller at the Door / Rugged Fish-Beard Walks Without Hooks" compilation album and released in March 2020 through Old Skull Productions.

Stylistically the material on the 17 tracks, 15:11 minutes long demo is in some ways a continuation of the filthy death metal/grindcore style of the preceding demo. This demo is a bit more on the grindcore side though and the death metal elements have been toned down. Lifeless Vomit are down to a trio and they are still a well playing band with a nice domimant distorted bass and some tight drumming. Drummer Juha Merilaakso is also the vocalist and he delivers one sick vocal style after another. It´s some pretty nasty stuff and I´d say "Scum" (1987)-era Napalm Death mixed with "Acts of the Unspeakable" (1992)-era Autopsy blended with a bit of goregrind Carcass isn´t the worst description I can come up with.

The sound production is decent although a bit thin sounding, but the sound production values suit the material well. To my ears the first demo was a bit more interesting because the death metal elements of the band´s sound were more equally shared with the grindcore part of the music, while "Demo 1992" tend to hammer away in a relatively monotone grindcore style. It´s still an interesting release though and a 2.5 star (50%) rating isn´t all wrong.
