Haemophilia - 2006 - Demo 2006

Out of Sweden comes this Black Metal horde with their first demo. 4 tracks of well executed mid-paced to fast, slightly melodic blastbeating Black Metal with a slight twist of Death Metal from time to time is what we get here. There are some interesting ideas in the music here. There is a distinct Swedish sound to this release. This reminds me of the newer Swedish bands like Ondskapt, Watain and Chaos Omen. Quite interesting.

The vocals sound like a hoarser version of early Quorthon of Bathory, with added reverb and not as highpitched. Also slightly like Graav on the earlier Armagedda releases.

The soundquality is very good, well above the usual demo quality. Every instrument can be clearly heard in the mix, with a slight focus on the drums and the vocals. Over all a very enjoyable demo. This is a band that, if given time, can go far. They have since changed their name to Orcivus. Limited to just 50 copies, so act fast!

Standout tracks are "Interitus" and "Corpus Ferrugineum".
