Eradicate - Demise Towards the Dasein

ERADICATE - Demise Towards the Dasein (GODZ OV WAR - CD 2022)

Turkey is no longer a blank white spot on the map of European death metal. We have Engulfed, Persecutory, Diabolizer or Burial Invocation there and they are all fantastic bands. This year, another monster has arisen from the Turkish catacombs and the name of this beast is Eradicate. "Demise Towards the Dasein" is only recording from them so far, a three-song demo (let's skip the fourth track, which is some sort of an intro). It all lasts for twelve minutes only... but it is enough to catch my attention and write the name down in the notebook for future releases. 

Definitely, Eradicate will catch your eye from the first glance with the great, classic horror artwork and that cool logo. They scream old school death metal. Loud and clear. I can only confirm your suspicion that the music is filthy, raw and damn ugly. Eradicate uses rather simplistic means, which underline that old school feel, and the musical influences can come from Autopsy, Cianide, Master, Nunslaughter and other such music zombies. Their riffs are crude, neanderthal and savage, with a bit of faster stuff here and there (but not in the modern blasting way) and doomy, chunky stuff is present even more often. I won't say that Eradicate came up with the most distinguish and attractive material of the year... because it is only a demo and it sounds like a demo. But damn, I like that death metal style, I like its primitive and raw style. I bet we will hear more from Eradicate in the future, but until then, just enjoy this piece of filth called "Demise Towards the Dasein". Very cool CD. 

Verdict: 75/100
