CoC : Spiritus Mortis - Demo 2000 : Review

Spiritus Mortis - _Demo 2000_
by: Chris Flaaten (3 out of 5)

Last issue I reviewed Spiritus Mortis' most recent demo. Apparently, they have now got a record deal, but this deal came from an old demo -- the one in question here. In this demo, Spiritus Mortis are clearly darker in their expression, playing old school doom in the vein of Black Sabbath. Although everything is well played and decently produced, I can't seem to like these ten minutes worth as much as their newer material. It lacks the flair and the subtle humouristic approach that made the _Forward to the Battle_ demo stand out. Still, this music should be easier to market and they're still more metal than 90% of everything else out there.
