Those with a penchant for some decidedly raw Black/Death/Thrash, will do well to check out the latest demo from Vermont-based maniacs, SHITANGEL. Their music evokes an evil aura in the vein of bands like SARCOFAGO, NECROVORE, BLASPHEMY, PARABELLUM, etc., supplemented with a cavernous production complimentary to the style. The band's name and "artwork" gives the impression of something foul and unholy, and that's exactly what you will be subjected to after pressing play. All the instruments are well arranged. I love the effects used for the vocals; they are really cool and go hand in glove with the putrid atmosphere. The riffs are sick and just what the doctor ordered. The music possess a menacing tone replete with an adoration for the classick Black/Death/Thrash abyss of yesteryear. "Demo XXX" offers 5 tracks of pure hellish Metal of Death made for maniacs pure, so If you're a dork for clean sounding metal, then don't fucking bother.
