Pure Hatred Records
Jeremy Bequette; PO Box 23215; Hellesville, IL 62223
DEFECATION-Akoustic Shit
This kinda reminds me of Weird Al. That is what the singer reminds me off. The song titles are pretty funny. It is all acoustic, hence the title of the album. It is tolerable.
PAIN IN THE ASS (PITA)- Brown Side of the Moon
I can't really make this out too well. The production isn't that great. The sound is really muffled. The singer is crazy, he is making all these different sounds.
SATAN'S GOD-Crux De La Violence
At first, I thought something was wrong with my tape player. I was getting all these weird sounds. But then I heard a song, so it was the tape. I think this is some death black metal. I can't decide which one it is more. The vocals sound like they could have something distorting them. I'm not sure.
SKYWAYRD CONFLICT-Voyage to the Mind/Euphoric 117 - Creation Beyond Infinity
This is a split cassette. I have no idea what this is. This is weird. The sound is really bad. It is hard to make anything out.

Scratch Bladder Productions
Bill the Cowboy;3538 Paseo Salamoner-La Mesa, CA 91941
BILL THE DEATH METAL COWBOY- Rustlin' up Some Metal
This is some death metal with scratchy vocals. I wouldn't say it was black metal, but very close to it. Lots of effects, one the first song it sounds like scratching of a record or something. I think he is using a drum machine. Different effects in the songs.
Meth- Transformerz. This is some black metal. Bill mixes samples and different sounds in everything he releases. Some of the riffs are cooler than anything I have ever heard. The vocals are a higher range for black metal. He does mix the range up though so it doesn't sound the same.
METH- Abstract Mental Chaos
This is also black metal and the blast beats are so fast, it's crazy. Again two guys do this and again, it's mostly Bill. The songs are a bit longer than in Sheen. The 2nd song is a bit odd, I'm not sure what it is, keyboards and effects, the vocals are totally different though. They remind me of the guy from DEVO!
THE MISSING MUMMY/MECH KOMMANDERZ-Perpetual Innovation
This is a split tape. This seems to be a little more relaxed than the other. From one extreme to another! This is real mellow, but it isn't cheesy or anything. Now the other one, the Mech Kommanderz, is back to being heavy and black metal. Bill has a ton of talent and everyone should get in touch and hear his stuff.
SHEEN
This is some cool black metal. No keyboards. Two guys (but mostly Bill) put this together and it sounds great. Drums are right on, the riffs are heavy. The songs are quick too, none of the 8 minutes per song shit!

ABRASIVE-Victim
Rauf; Neue Strasse 54; 70186 Stuttgart; Germany
These guys have a CD, but I have a copy of the CD on tape. Surprisly, it sounds really good for being a tape. They are a death metal band, but the vocals are high, I don't want to say black metal, cause they aren't, but they are higher than normal. They are real fast and everything sounds real crisp.

ABYSMALL FALL-Spit in the Face of Christ
PO Box 67-East Rochester, NY 14445-0067
The sound seems a bit muffled. These guys are black metal. The vocals have a high pitch to them, but they aren't using just one range, he is mixing it up. There is a really cool part in the first song, I'm not sure if it was acoustical guitar or what, but I liked it.

ABYSMALL FALL- Borne Agatnst
PO Box 67; East Rochester, NY 14445-0067
Here is some black metal. Not bad. The sound is a lot better than most of the demo's I get. The drummer is real fast. I like it.

ANAL BIRTH-Chopped Up Infants Cunt
35 Tuthill Street-Huntington, NY 11743
This is a one man band. This is some grind for you. This is really different. I haven't heard too much extreme grind before, and this is definitely in that category, so I'm not sure how to rate it. All I can say is, if you are into extreme grind, contact Adam!

ARES KINGDOM-Eternal Darkness Records
PO Box 268; Corapolis, PA 15108
The first track is intro and it's really good. I can't describe what it sounds like. It's not doomy, or atmospheric, maybe it is a bit melodic. Then the 2nd song starts with the fast intense music with killer vocals. It is some black metal and it just sounds great! The drummer just rips. The production is so crisp, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between this and a CD. Everyone needs to pick this up.

BEEGAR-Choose Your Vitals
R. Orlando Ferraiuolo 133; JD. Da Saude SaoPaulo-SP; CEP: 04158-040; Brazil
These guys are good. Death metal, vocals are real low. The music is fast, I would say some parts are grind-core. The production isn't bad either. Not one slow beat!

CIBORIUM-Abomination Album Sampler
These guys rule! I love them! The tape I have DOES NOT server them an justice. I heard the tape and I was like this is cool, then I saw them live and they blew me away! Totally heavy. They are a three piece. They have a song coming out on Jill's comp and I suggest everyone go pick it up! They are a death metal band and they just rip. You have to either get a tape or go see them live if you are in the area!

CRANIAL TORMENT-Death is Rising
32 Paradision Street-Peristeri, 121 36-Athens Greece
Here is some death metal from Greece. The vocals are real low, so it is hard to hear them. They have some okay riffs, but I can't really hear the bass. The production is just really bad. If they had some good production, they would be a killer sounding band.

DE MADELIEFJES- Langharig Wekschuw Tuig
Mombie SOB; Zwartkopstr. 24; 5702 RK Helmond, Holland
This is some grind/noise. I can't really make the vocals out. Can't hear them too well. I don't know how else to describe grind/noise. There is a chick in this band too. I think she does some singing. If you like it, you'll like this.

DERANGED-High on Blood
Lingongatan 36- 234 43 Lomma-Sweden
These guys are great. I heard them about a year ago at a friends house I thought they were awesome. They are death metal. They are super fast and everything is real tight. They riffs are unbelievable. The drummer blows me away, his blast beats and double bass are incredible! Even for being a tape, the production isn't bad at all. Get this!

DOWNTHROAT-I've Got My Mothers Eyes
Apartado 157-3780 Anadia-Portugal
This starts off with the intro to Scream the movie. This is death metal too. The vocals are real low, so it is hard to hear him. This has some cool little slower, grove parts. But this is for the most part, in your face death metal. Real heavy and fast.

ENMORTEM- Their Blood I Offer the King
17227 South 71st Ct.; Apartment 9; Tirley Park, IL 60177
I'm not sure about the address. I can barely make it out in the inlay. This is some pretty horrible production. The music from what I can make outs sounds like Incantation. I can't hear the guitars at all. The vocals are real low.

ENFORSAKEN- Promo 1999
400 Manda Lane 302; Wheeling IL 60090
Here is a two-song promo. These guys are pretty good. Kinda a cross between death and black metal vocals. I think more along the black metal. But they aren't fast music wise, with blast beats and fast riffs. More along the lines of thrash music. The drummer knows how to use the double bass. He is pretty consistent with it.

GODKILLAMERICA-Facereel
7 Monks Walk-Penwortham-Preston-Lancs-PR1 0AQ-England
I'm not sure how to describe this. It isn't death metal. The vocals are pretty clean and that makes it sound cool. The music is real good too, they are doing different things, and you aren't hearing the same tempo or riffs over and here. The one song even has killer female vocals.

IDIOM
PO Box 2630-East Peoria, IL 61611
This is very different. This is something I would hear in a movie from the ancient years, or an old Chinese movie. There is a couple different instruments used that sounds so cool with everything, it gives it a different sound. There isn't much singing here either, it is mostly instruments.

MAGGOTMEAT- Carved, Skinned and Raped
3404 East 64th Street; Tulsa, OK 74136
All I can hear is bass drum, snare and vocals. I think the vocals are death, I can't really make them out. Some movie clips between and during songs.

ONE LAST SIN- CD Promo
37 Weston Ave; Fishkill, NY 12524
This is another two-song promo. I like these guys. They aren't death metal vocals, more like aggressive scratchy type vocals. The production could be better. Pretty fast, catchy beats and riffs.

OBLITERATION- Beyond Recognition
PO Box 114; Aransas Pass, TX 78336
In all seriousness, these vocals remind me of Frank Rini, or something along those lines. Very deep. Music gives me the NY feel, but these guys are from TX. Productions Is good, you can hear everything. Drummer is really fast and everything is tight. Real good band.

SOH- Fuck Off Or I'll Kill You!
PO Box 325; Victoria Park 6979; West Australia
I'm not sure what the band is called, I can't make out the logo. This is some black metal. They are very fast. When the vocals kick in, you really can't hear anything else. Actually you can barely hear the guitars anyway. It's not bad, they just need some better production.

SPECTRUM MORS
2104 Chicago; Laredo, TX 78041
Death metal with some black metal screams. Sounds pretty good, the production isn't the greatest, but it's definitely better than others. The drummer is pretty good too, real quick. They have some pretty cool riffs also. Not a bad tape.

THESTRAL
PO Box 492; Ambler PA 19002-0492
This is some black metal. The music is more death metal though. He drummer is real good, he has some pretty cool beats. The production is good. This band is only two guys too. Any band who has two guys and sounds this good, deserve a medal!

UNBURIED- Tortured Remains
PO Box 301; Herndon, VA 20172
These guys rip! The drummer is so fast. The vocals are really deep, and it's a girl! That is keeping it real! She has lower growls than some guys I have heard. They also have Mark Riddick, the artist in the band, so you know the artwork is going to kill. Definitely one of the better bands out there today!

WITCHHUNT-Soul Sensitraded Fire
This is a copy I think of there CD on XRated. I don't have Erik's address in front of me, if anyone is interested in getting his address, let me know and I can get it to you. This is pretty cool, this is death/ black metal. The vocals seem to be a mix of both. The music is real fast and I would like to think that is on the border line of death metal and black metal. There is some female vocals I heard too, but not much. My dub isn't that great sounding, but I'm sure the CD rules. Go pick it up!

VOMIT SNACK
13186 Gruber Road; Chearspring, MD 21722
This is a pretty cool band. How can then not be, with a name like Vomit Snack?! I'm sad I missed them in New Jersey last year. This is a three song tape, which took songs off their new full length. I can't describe them. They have their own little unique sound.

420- Reality Promo '98
62 Sprucewood Drive; Levittown, NY 11756
Remember the band Repulidation? Well two of the guys have this new band 420 now. They are really good, it's a death metal band. The vocals are so deep, and there are even some high screams here and there. Drummer is real fast. There is a bit of "groovyness" and I can't wait to hear the full length!
