UMUR
"Demo )91(" is the first demo recording by Finnish death metal/grindcore act Lifeless Vomit. The demo was independently released in My 1991. Lifeless Vomit formed in 1988 and released two demos prior to disbanding in 1992. 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.

The 12 tracks on the 12:56 minutes long demo are stylistically a combination of death metal and grindcore. Sometimes leaning more towards one than the other and other times the other way around. Lifeless Vomit are pretty well playing and other than the punked clean vocals on opening track "Harsh Boar", the vocals are quite well performed growling or harsh screaming. The über distorted bass is quite the treat as well as the well playing drummer (who is also the vocalist). The songs are quite creative considering that Lifeless Vomit is a quartet and there aren´t any lead guitar parts. It´s just drums, bass, guitars, and some nasty juicy growling (two vocalists).

The nature of the lyrics may have you think that this is not a serious release (songtitles like "Harsh Boar", "Horrendous Fuck of Hate", and "Sickly Shellfish" don´t exactly reek of anything serious), but to my ears the music is of a high quality. Lifeless Vomit understand how to use the tools of the trade and the material on this demo is some pretty interesting gory death metal/grindcore. The sound production is filthy, oddly thin sounding, but still heavy, and it suits the material perfectly. A 3 star (60%) rating is warranted.
