Originally a side-project of Vintersorg, Cosmic Death have been on ice for a long time. They formed in '96, broke up after one demo, and got back together without Vintersorg in '06 or so to start recording Death Metal again. Swedish DM is a well-mined vein, but I have to say this is killer enough to get me excited anyway. Cosmic Death are very riff-oriented, and they mix a lot of old-school Thrash sound into their pummeling Death assault. This demo keeps the energy up and the metal in your face, all while still injecting a lot of dynamic and tempo shifts that just make this sound even heavier. This is a crushing demo and I look forward to a proper debut from this band.
