Ah, the memories of the 80s tape trading scene come flooding back, when bands recorded demos on a portable tapedeck in the corner of their bedroom and spread them across the globe via the C90 cassette. Gomorrah sound authentic, even down to the hum of the motor in the quiet passages and the clatter of the stop button being pressed after each track.

Like the early Death demos, this is just bass, drums and vocals, and both albums follow the same Hellhammer, slow Dark Throne, early Beherit pattern, with the "NOTBP" tracks being slightly longer than those on "IPOTDL".

Under-rehearsed, sloppy and terribly recorded, Gomorrah fly in the face of convention. Fans of early death thrash will be delighted by them.

Great original band name, huh? Cool demo title, though. I really wanted to like this band, but just. . .didn't. Gomorrah plays black metal of the rawest persuasion and, while that may sound good to you, it isn't. The production is perfectly fine--very rough and demo-like. The problem is, the drumming is extremely stilted and sloppy, the vocals are way too nasal and the guitars seem to only be able to play a few riffs each song, and not that well, I might add. However, I believe this is Gomorrah's debut demo, so there is still plenty of time for improvement. Hopefully their next release will be tighter and, frankly, they could use the practice. Raw black metal is great, but it only works when there is existing musicianship!
