UMUR
"Lava Poetry" is the fifth demo recording by Finnish thrash/death metal act Phlegethon. The demo was independently released in 2007. It´s the second demo recording since Phlegethon was ressurrected by Lasse Pyykkö in 2006. The material from "Lava Poetry" is included on the January 2010 "Drifting in the Crypt" (Xtreem Music) compilation album.

Stylistically the two tracks on the 9:05 minutes long demo continue the relatively fast-paced and energetic thrash metal style, which was initiated on the 2006 "Totems Within" demo. The vocals are a little more exteme semi-growling than the rather powerless thrash metal shouting on "Totems Within", but still lacks intensity and snarling gravel to stand out. The two tracks are well performed and they are relatively well produced too, but as the case also was with the "Totems Within" demo this is not a release which stands out among the vast number of releases in this style released every year, and considering what Phlegethon released early in their career, this cannot compare. A 3 star (60%) rating is still warranted though, as this certainly isn´t a bad quality release.
