For this, their 2nd demo, Finnish Cadaveric Incest managed to gather a full flesh 'n' blood line-up. I'm always glad to hear some raw metal without a drum machine. So, how does this wickedly named, still very young, band manage?

'Suffocate' gets straight into groovy mid-paced death metal exaltation. Plus, the song is fucking contagious piece blemished with some crust and noise rock bits, making it an interesting piece of sonic hell. 'Submission' takes the crust and noise rock thing further, making the band sound pretty individual. 'Cruel Carnage' gets into simple death metal path, but making the band sound more faceless again. 'Infected Bodyparts' is very Cannibal Corpse style stuff, but lacks in aggression factor, at least because of raw yet a bit too soft sound. 'Tendencies to Die' is more individual again song, this time with some haunting melody work together with more brutal shit.

If the band can maintain their individuality, or what'd be even better, increase it further, Cadaveric Incest might grow into a very interesting band indeed. I think guys should work at their instrumental skills more, as it still feels that they are comparatively amateurs in their trade. And vocals are way too unchanging, even if brutal! But as mentioned, there's promise, and that's more than with a milion and one metal bands.
