9/10 CRUSHED FUCKING SKULLS
Finally we have a real death metal band from Sweden! Death Pulsation play ripping death metal that reminds me of Crucifire (Australia), Angelcorpse, and especially Kaamos (for the rhythm section at least), and perhaps a little bit of Dissection. This is not your run-of-the-mill Swedish chainsaw death metal that everyone and their brother's band seems to play, this is true, gritty, nasty, old-school death metal the way it ought to be played. It hearkens back to a time when bands like Repulsion and Possessed were the main influences on bands. The vocalist reminds me a lot of Pete Helmkamp. There's a black metal edge to their sound at times, too, which helps add more textures to their attack. The three songs here go by quickly, but this is probably the best demo I've heard this year, and I definitely need a fuckin' full length from these guys. I immediately bought this from Caligari after hearing it, that's how good it is.
