UMUR
This is the 2nd demo release by Immolation after they changed their name from Rigor Mortis in early 1988. The demo was recorded in June 1989 at The Loft/Bronxville, NY with the same lineup that recorded the first demo a year before.

The demo features three tracks of raw sounding US death metal. The music is well played and brutal and the demo features a raw yet detailed sound production. Yes it´s obvious that this is a demo, but the sound is still quite charming and easy to appreciate. All three tracks from the demo would eventually appear in re-recorded versions on the band´s debut full-length studio album "Dawn of Possession (1991)". These demo versions of the tracks are also available on the Immolation compilation album "Stepping on Angels... Before Dawn (1995)".

It´s obvious the band have stepped it up a level since the first demo. They seem even more confident and the songwriting is has improved too. A 3 - 3.5 star (65%) rating is deserved.
