CoC : Cradle to Grave - Lifespan Sessions 2003 : Review

Cradle to Grave - _Lifespan Sessions 2003_
by: Pedro Azevedo (1.5 out of 5)

I am not about to start demanding professional sound quality from demo recordings, but Cradle to Grave's demo sounds like a bunch of very low quality MP3s thrown onto a CD-R. Add to this some mediocre musicianship, and the result comes across as a band jamming rather than recording a demo -- and much as that may have been the purpose of this recording, a good demo this does not make. The music is simultaneously aggressive and rocking, with some angry vocals on top. Through the sloppy sound the music seems loose, but not entirely void of spirit. If the likes of Pantera happen to be your cup of whiskey, you may want to keep an eye out for Cradle to Grave, in case one of these days they put out a stronger effort; otherwise, don't bother.
