Vorus - Inflicted Sufferance

I remember liking the first demo "Chamber of Laments" from last year even if it was a straight up traditional death metal with legs in both the past and present, it was a enough solid start to make me sit up....now i got this latest demo to review and damn this is a big step up!

One thing to know is between the first demo and this they have released an full album and a split (which i have not heard) so they have for sure sculpted their craft quite a bit this year...and it shows!

The things i found rising this up from the early material is all their extra and somewhat unexpected inclusions (it is not avantgarde DM haha luckely but it has its own personality carved into the ugly deathscapes) in the song structures and dynamics. (and a extra plus for the strong bass lines through out) The production sounds like a a clean rehearsal  take which works fine for a demo, nice touch with a reverb on the grunting vocals for the added sepulcral morbidity.

These three songs has venom and musicality (not dragging caveman slow death and not blasting fast  away but it has good diverse semi fast style with a heavy dark layer) to make it stand above the shore line, their death metal has a quite international sound to it (band from Romania) i feel so it should please dead heads from all corners of the earth.

...hmmm now if the album has this quality i feel strongly that i have to hunt it down! NOW!
