"Two (Poverty)" CD by Demiricous

by Björn Thorsten Jaschinski (27.09.2007) All great inventors – no matter if commercially successful or only an insider tip – regularly get their ultimate successors predicted by the media. That is the case with Iron Maiden as well as At The Gates and Darkthrone. And Slayer. Most favourite candidate: Demiricious, who after two self-produced mini-cds delivered a dream start last year with "One (Hellbound)" on which they didn't concentrate on the early history but rather that beginning with the more 90s-Hardcore-orientated killer songs. The second part sets forth this tradition with a kick start: "Never enough road" doesn't care about intros but rather trashes directly with vocals and all four instruments. Yes, Nate Olp could well be Araya - at least more than Tom's wayward brother always playing in c-bands. His intonation is only a bit throatier than on the last Slayer albums. Anybody a cough there? Drummer Boltjes, like Dave Lombardo, suffers a nervous twitching in his extremities – a typical case of stress fetish. The rocky break in "Knuckle eye" could only be done by force.
