Sickness/The Dark Harvest/1993 Demo Review


  Sickness  where  a  band  from  Wisconsin  that  played  a  mixture  of  doom  and  death  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  self  released  1993  demo  "The  Dark  Harvest".

  Drums  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  drumming  with  some  blast  beats  being  utilized  at  times,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very   strong  and  powerful  sound  with  heavy  riffing  that  dominates  throughout  the  recording.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow, mid  paced  to  fast  riffs  that  combine  doom  and  death  metal  together  to  create  a  sound  of  their  own  as  well  as  a  brief  use  of  clean  playing,  while  the  lead  guitars  are  very  dark  sounding  doom/death metal  guitar  solos  and  leads,  as  for  the  classical  guitars  which  are  only  utilized  briefly  use  finger  picking  to  enhance  the  dark  atmosphere  of  the  demo..

  Vocals  range  from  deep  death  metal  growls  to  high  pitched  screams,  while  the  lyrics  cover  darkness  and  gore  themes,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  strong,  powerful,  heavy,  dark  and  professional  sound  for  being  a  self  released  recording  and  you  can  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on  this  demo.

  In  my  opinion  Sickness  are  a  very  great  sounding  hybrid  of  death  and  doom  metal  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  this  band.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Dark  Harvest"  and  "Sickened  Thought".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
