UMUR
"Malevolent Creation" (or just demo 1989) is the second demo recording by US, Buffalo, New York based thrash/death metal act Malevolent Creation. The demo was released in June 1989 on cassette tape and the original batch was limited to 100 copies.

The demo features three tracks and a total playing time of 10:17 minutes. "Injected Sufferage" opens the demo. It was re-recorded an included on the band´s 1991 debut full-length studio album "The Ten Commandments", but appears here in a more unpolished and thrashy version, which lead vocalist Brett Hoffmann delivering a more shouting thrash metal influenced vocal performance, than the semi-growling vocal style he would later be known for. Other than that "Injected Sufferage" actually sounds a lot like it would sound on the debut album.

The two other tracks on the demo are "Epileptic Seizure" and "Violent Offspring". None of them made the cut for the debut album. Stylistically they also display the more thrashy side of Malevolent Creation. Although this is certainly both aggressive and brutal thrash metal, Malevolent Creation had no dipped their toes much in death metal yet. The demo features a relatively well sounding production, and it´s overall a good quality demo by Malevolent Creation, but it would take one further demo before they would be signed by Roadrunner Records for the release of "The Ten Commandments" (1991). A 3 - 3.5 star (65%) rating is warranted.
