I honestly believe that with a bit more money and time to re-record this demo its rating would have been a bit higher, having said that this demo does make me contradict myself since the rawness of its production sort of help that early 80´s thrash feel that Eternal has going on.

This guys have that nice and weird blend of thrash metal ala “Bay area” of the glorious 80’s and that which helped create or at least shape the early black movement in Europe… it may sound weird to some, but this guys have that “garage” anger that bands like Venom or perhaps Bathory had in the very early stages of their careers, mixed with the catchy, crazy riffs played by early Metallica or maybe to do a more accurate comparison Death Angel.

The demo has some songs that really manage to stay in your head after just one listen, and this is hard no matter what genre of music you play or like and in “Rotting in Anger” Eternal has created one of those memorable tracks.

The band those run into some problems when it comes to create spaces in the songs for them to display solos, this doesn’t diminishes their ability or talent but in can sound at times a bit forced; the album mainly focuses its drive in a very good guitar blending and a raw vocal line that increases the aggressiveness of the entire record.

The entire mood of the album is classic and fundamental thrash, no other choice of words to describe this band, and they do accomplished a good catchy and energetic record despite the very bad production and recording… but like I said at the beginning maybe that’s part of the magic of this demo, it really takes you back to the golden age of tape releases, long bushy hair, blue jeans and white sneakers.
