UMUR
"Tragical Endings" is the first and only demo cassette tape by US, Franklin, Wisconsin based doom/death metal act Withering Divinity. The demo was independently released in 1994.

The band play a brick heavy doom/death metal style with occasional gothic metal leanings. The vocals are either growling (higher pitched snarling type growling), clean (monotone), or spoken vocals. Whenever the growling vocals appear the music reminds me of German doom/death metal act Dark Millennium. There´s the same raw aggression and desperation about the vocal delivery. The material are relatively well played and quite varied with both heavy riffs, clean guitar parts, and the above mentioned varied vocals.

The demo features a rather lo-fi and distorted sound production, but it goes well with the rawness of the music. Overall "Tragical Endings" is a pretty adventurous doom/death metal release, and while the compositions aren´t without flaws and not all ideas are as well executed as the most successful ones, it´s generally a good quality demo release. A 3 star (60%) rating is warranted.
