CoC : Master - Demo '96 : Review

Master - _Demo '96_
by: Adam Wasylyk (3 out of 5)

Legends in the underground, not only have they toured Europe and released seven records on Nuclear Blast, but they've influenced countless death metal bands. Being dropped by their label some time ago, I hadn't heard from them since, and assumed they were gone. Well, Master are back and ready to take on the world again, starting with their _Demo '96_. This is truly a testimony to Paul Speckman's "never give up" mentality. Three songs of old-school death metal with some cool guitar hooks that keeps ones interest through each song. Thin production doesn't help this but it doesn't hurt it too much either. _Demo '96_ doesn't offer anything new or particularly exciting, but it does offer some cool tunes that may remind you of yesteryear. It's very doubtful that this demo will land Master a record deal, but down the road, hopefully they'll be on a label where they belong. I must say, it's good to see Master back!
