I am not sure why I am doing a review of a one-song demo. Especially when that song is just over four minutes in length, making this an extremely short release and a likewise short review. But then, this demo has been sent to me twice now, once as a mini-CD (no joke, the thing is about three inches in diameter) and then as a cassette. So here we are.
Communion is a Chilean black/thrash metal band. Chile has produced some damn good metal bands, such as Thornafire and Apostasy. So at least I had a pretty good feeling about what they would sound like. The music here is incredibly fast and intense, with speed-picking tremolo riffs and blast-beating drumming. The vocals are harsh. Overall, the band sounds very similar to a combination of early Sabbat and early Deströyer 666, complete with blazing solo.
Unfortunately, as I said, there is just one song on this release, so while it is an impressive song, it is much too short to get much out of. I may have to check out one of the longer releases.
