Rating: 1.5/5
Reviewer: Arto Lehtinen

Another new band from Finland. The TU guy just handed me a copy of their first demo, naturally pressed on a cd-r. Obviously the Underworld guys must have used some cheap recorder in the rehearsal place when putting their stuff on a regular tape and then switched to a CD. Well the opening intro sounds like ripped off from a movie soundtrack or something like that. As to the music, it definitely reminds me of some untalented band having just learned how to use the instruments instead of molesting them. These kinds of demos shouldn’t be reviewed at all as at least this one in question is basically just another rehearsal tape done to check out how a band actually sounds. But these kinds of reh demos or whatever it is called nowadays mostly give an unfair impression of a band’s skills. Next time when recording something, get to a normal studio…Thanks!
