Deceived
by a quite epic intro, the Mexican band, formed by Ravager and Disgorge
members, starts with the great riff of "Legion of Horns",
preparing the listener for a harsh and rapid march into a set of true
heavy blows enriched with asphyxiating drumming, very fast and various
guitar plots. All songs are good but the title track and "Christ
Carnage" have something more, that is, once more, superb breaking
riffs. Whether you dig Ravager, Thornspawn, Domain, Impiety or furious
screamed Speed/ Black/Death in general, based on an anti-trendy raw
production and mastering by Erik Rutan at Mana Studios, then you'll
understand why Demonized were initially signed by ex-Angel Corpse Gene
Palubicki's Evil Vengeance records. More brutality, skill and effective
songwriting together have been rarely seen.
