Commonly cited and appreciated as one of the trailblazers of melodic Death Metal, swedish DESULTORY`s roots are deeply buried in Thrash Metal. Wearing their influences on their sleeves, their first demo From Beyond features songs in the vein of KREATOR, TESTAMENT or MERCILESS. It was with Death Unfolds from 1991, the rabid pack`s second demo, that DESULTORY really came into their own as far as style and sound are concerned. Again recorded by Tomas Skogsberg in his renowned Sunlight Studios, the demo showcases most of the band`s typical trademarks they would go on to be admired for. Bangers like “Passed Away” and “The Chill Within” both of which would end up being re-recorded for DESULTORY`s debut album are top-tier swedish Death Metal with downtuned guitar riffs in abundance and a particular sensitivity for melody. Simply titled Visions, the 3rd demo again recorded in Sunlight Studios in 1992 logically continues DESULTORY`s trajectory.Aided by the strongest production of their demos giving the songs that certain extra punch this demo is victorious on all fronts and a must listen for anyone into swedish Death Metal of the highest order.
