UMUR
"Through Sepulchral Shadows" is the third demo release by Swedish death metal act Vomitory. The demo was independently released in April 1994. It´s the successor to "Promo '93" and it´s a completely different sounding release to the murky, lo-fi recording quality of the predecessor.

"Through Sepulchral Shadows" features a brutal, raw, yet detailed sounding production, which suits the brutality and rawness of the old school death metal attack very well. All three tracks from the 15:44 minutes long demo would be re-recorded and included on Vomitory´s debut full-length studio album "Raped in Their Own Blood" (November 1996, Fadeless Records). This is through and through quality old school death metal. It´s raw, morbid, and brutal, but still relatively accessible with memorable songwriting ideas combined with the energetic brutal death metal sound.

Vomitory are a well playing band too, and the growling vocals from Ronnie Olson are harsh, brutal, and beastly. So upon conclusion "Through Sepulchral Shadows" is a high quality death metal demo from the early 90s (although Vomitory were a few years to late to the game), and I can highly recommend giving it a listen, to hear the early demo versions of some of the great tracks found on "Raped in Their Own Blood" (an equally great release). A 3.5 star (70%) rating is deserved.
