UMUR
"Live Demo 91" is the fourth demo recording by death/black/thrash/doom metal act Valhall. The demo was independently released in early 1991. It was recorded live at the Bootleg venue in November 1990. The demo features three tracks. "Melting Picture" would appear on the forthcoming fifth demo recording by Valhall the March 1991 "Pagan Token" demo. "The Mission" is exclusive to this live demo and "Painful Solitude" had already appeared on the April 1990 "Trauma" demo, but would also appear on the "Pagan Token" demo.

At this point Valhall played a death-doom metal style which isn´t far removed from the first Paradise Lost album. It´s slow, brutal, and sorrowfilled death metal with a brutal shouting/growling vocalist in front. Although the drums are barely audible in the mix, it´s still a relatively decent quality live production and the songs are easy to decipher and listen to. It´s by no means a masterpiece live demo but it´s overall a decent quality release and a 2.5 star (50%) rating is warranted.
