Wanting to amp up my reviewing game (Dave from Asphyxium has been a bit of a writing mentor so I don’t want to catch myself slacking too much) I hit up Youtube. I was feeling like some punk—and after scrolling through a few demos I landed on “Demo CS 2024” by Ultimate Disaster!
This is some standard raw and crusty D-beat. With that said—it is put together very well. I feel as if the production would sound great on a cassette or a 7” vinyl or something. As I found it on Youtube digital streaming will have to do…but it’s pretty damn rad overall none the less!
This demo is just under 7 minutes long so it is a short listen. Even though I could have done with a bit “more” I will for sure settle for this brief blast of raw and emotionally cathartic revelry. I listen to so much music that it is hard to keep track of it all. Keeping this in mind if I hear more from these guys I will try to not scroll over it. Again—this is pretty standard. But sometimes “meat and potatoes” is what you need and a quick jab to the eardrums is sometimes exactly what the doctor calls for at the end of the day! -Devin J. Meaney

Track list:
1. Ruination
2. Eternal tomb
3. Madness despair
4. L.B.H.
