sovereign mortition demo

this is one of those bands that played at my house. one of two metal bands. i have to say both bands kicked some serious ass though durring sovereign's set my crude pa kept not working. i felt kind of bad. it was funny because i was just sitting in a chair while a mosh pit went on. hey! i like to listen to bands play. plus i didn't wanna get killed. i know my house better than anyone. ah well. one of the cool things about that show was this wimp i know named eric (who reads this blog actually hi eric!) ran inside when this band started and only came out for a moment. wimp! anyway i got this demo through one of the band members. a really cool dude. funny thing is i asked them to play without hearing a note. i just looked on a facebook group and they called themself death/thrash metal so i asked them. good choice as it turned out. this demo just rages from start to finish. however i must take issue with something. they call the music death/thrash. i see it as being mainly thrash with death metal mixed in. it doesn't sound like what people call death/thrash to me. it's just thrash. doesn't matter really but i think they'd be better off calling themselves a thrash band. whatever. they can call themselves puppy metal for all i care. the music is just awesome! the intro is quite effective but mortition is where it gets really awesome. fast drums, relentless guitar, and really good vocals. this demo is also well produced. reminds me of social overload in the mix. 5 great tracks of pure metal. the kind of music that will make the weak minded hide and cry until it's over. i do have one complaint though. it's too short! i want an lp of this music. i really wish they had more demos. 5 songs isn't enough by a long shot. get this from the band. if you live in southern california. if not i don't know beg for one and they'll probably send you one. it's worth it. one of the best bands in la right now
