Vampiric Dominium - ST

In the flicker of past times in Puerto Rico or to be more precise 1996 the label Demonified Records
released the first and only demo by Vampiric dominium!


I got the chance to review this title due to its re release via Misantropologi Records which was a
obscure treat to be had.

Initially i got intrigued by the band logo (quite typical me i say hehe) and after listening to it i can say it did not let me down and i can agree that it deserves this new life it got by the label.

                                                                 (original MC scan)

It is only three songs long but they make the important mark as a debut demo should i think, what we get here is some blistering and in your face satanic tunes with some solid backbone and right  blasphemic emotions and fire in vocals and in the compositions as they make sure to cram into them much persona and variation in them.
It has the murky obscure atmospheres that brings your minds eye the visions of cold ritual caves painted in virgins blood.


One thing that stood out for me which seemed a bit odd (sure it has happened other times though) at first was that the bass was in the "front room" and was played almost like the guitar would and the actual guitar and drums mixed behind it....After some listenings i can easily say that this is one of this bands major possetives and makes them stand out a bit more from the crowded snowforest.
Good stuff in other words! Also the sound is surprisingly good for this kind of a demo.

I only wish there was more creations from this band....there was another tape after this but the band had now changed in its core which the slight different name change points at and also i have not heard this so i cant comment any more on the matter....








....Closest this one can get is Godless where some of the members continued as...and even here i cant say much as Godless is another chapter i need to invest more time into....dont even own a release from them.

Either way Vampiric Dominium is back from
ancient times to embrace the modern dusk !



The new layout/design is done good and nice that the label even made t-shirts for this release, total black cult metal from Puerto Rico.
