Vrykolakas – Vrykolakas 2000 MCD

Vrykolakas - Vrykolakas Vrykolakas start off with the title song, which quite frankly is two minutes longer than it should have been. Muddy distortion combines with not-very-tight-playing, and proceeds to play the same godforsaken riff over and over again. “Buried With Munkar Nakir” has an even muddier guitar sound that is almost drowned out by the loud drums and growls. These first two songs sound influenced by early Deicide. The third song, “In Filthy Vomits,” continues with the dirty guitar sound but is much more brutal than the previous two songs. In fact, the transition from the second to the third song reminds me of the difference between Deicide self titled album and Legion; the latter was much more brutal. This song has some brutal riffs but there are still a lot of repetitions. “Dark Descends” is a good song with interesting riffs and sounds eerily like early Entombed in the latter stages of the track. Now it’s time for the last song on this cd, “Nuthfah.” I don’t know what the hell that means, but it is without doubt the best song on the CD. The production is markedly better, and now that everything can be heard clearly, the music sounds a whole lot more interesting. There are some brutal blast beats here mixed with some early era death metal style riffing, and a nice solo too. Also the number of repetitions is minimized in this song, thus ending this demo CD on a good note.
