Demo

Since Reign of Pestilence put the absolute minimum effort into the presentation of their two-song demo (they licked the stamp), it seems only fair to put our minimal effort into the review of said demo.

Here we have two songs, for a whopping five minutes of auditory vomit this band wants to call music. The brevity, coupled with the sub-demo level production job, sloppy play all around, and the utterly unprofessional CD-R in a plastic sleeve, isn't going to impress anyone. Honestly, this isn't a legitimate release by any stretch of the imagination so much as it is a young band looking for any sort of press they can get. Well, they might as well have shit in a bag and mailed it to my door, because that would have at least been worth a laugh.

This would all be forgiveable if the music was mind blowing, but it certainly isn't. The band plays metalcore that leans heavily to the metal spectrum, scraping the death metal barrel for influence. The two songs herein come off more like a series of piecemeal riffs put in random sequence rather than actual songs. To make things worse, it sounds like they settled for the first take rather than nailing the performance because the execution is incredibly sloppy.

Here's a tip guys: If you want to impress anyone (especially a reviewer that has hundreds of records come across their desk every year), record real songs at a real studio and put it in real packaging. Submit this to your local paper or some high school/college paper, but don't submit something this unprofessional for criticism on a respectable, professional website. It's a waste of everyone's time.

Hope this was the kind of press you were so desperately seeking.
