THE COMING OF GENOCIDE

The Coming of Genocide is the second demo CD by New Zealand progressive death metal act Ulcerate. The demo was independently released in 2004. The four songs on the 15:10 minute long demo were later featured as the first four songs in the The Coming of Genocide (2006) compilation album.

While the music on the demo is brutal death metal with some aggressive growling vocals a bit of innovation has crept into Ulcerate´s sound compared to their debut demo Ulcerate (2003). There are a few more of the future trademark dissonant riffs featured on The Coming of Genocide which makes this release a bit more interesting than the debut demo. The music is still relentlessly aggressive and brutal though so don´t expect Ulcerate to take any prisoners.

The sound quality is even better than on the already well produced debut demo.

The Coming of Genocide is a really good promo release and I enjoy it very much. There´s still a way to go before I will call this progressive but that doesn´t mean it´s not enjoyable. 3 stars are well deserved.
