CoC : Exhuman - Partition of Disorder : Review

Exhuman - _Partition of Disorder_
by: Jackie Smit (3.5 out of 5)

Considering that these Italians recorded this six-song demo in their rehearsal room, the eventual product is quite impressive. While far from perfect, its sound is of a markedly higher quality than a great many of the studio-spawned demos that pass through my mailbox every month. That Exhuman are clearly very gifted musicians makes their dedication and effort within their clearly limited framework all the more commendable. Of particular note on this demo are the dynamic, progressive death metal strains of "Chaos Fragments" and the curiously named "Tasted by Welfare", with its distinctly Morbid Angel-esque opening riff. Although there is still quite a lot of work for these guys to do -- The Holy's vocals are particularly uninspiring for the greater part of this demo -- one would expect some modicum of success to befall Exhuman sooner rather than later.
