CREMATORY - Wrath From The Unknown Digi-CD

Limited to 300 copies in a 4 panel digipak.
Includes insert with cover of the demo, as well as liner notes from the band plus photos and flyers from the time.

Crematory's second tape is a continuation of the debut demo with improved song writing, musicianship and production. Anything that was missing from "The Exordium" was brought to the table on "Wrath from the Unknown". Musically, it's still very much in the dark, macabre style of the first tape; but the songs are better organized and more memorable as a result. The actual execution seems more energetic this time as well, especially from the drummer's side. It sounds like he's been practicing for ten hours every day since the last demo came out.

The biggest difference, however, is in the production. Crematory finally managed to secure themselves a decent studio for this recording, and the result is amazing. This is exactly how a death metal demo should sound. The instruments are actually separate this time, as opposed to the spinning mass of noise and distortion that was "The Exordium". The highs on the drums are very audible, as is the bass guitar which does much more on this cassette than merely being a faceless contributor to the hollow muddiness. The vocals have equally improved, being much more out front and throaty here.
