Skeletal Remains, not to be confused with the still active (and still very good) death metal band from California, were an American death/thrash metal band. Very little is known about them and as far as I know this demo was the only thing they ever put out. It might've been the only one, but god damn this shit is vile as fuck. Reminds me of those late 80's demos by Necrophagia, Necrophile (which I uploaded a while back), Deceased... or even Insanity, even aesthetically. This doesn't even sound like 1994! Too primitive for 1994 but at the same time it just makes sense that it couldn't exist before because it's too ahead of the 80's! That last half of Legions of the Undead stands out so much, after three and a half tracks of intensity those slower and reverbed riffs are a gift of the gods. And the sample playing over the riffs? Shit man, I can never get enough of that. The sample from “Bride of Re-Animator“ on “Laughing in Hell“ is the cherry on top. Super good, if this Skeletal Remains had kept going they could have definitely been another American powerhouse of death metal. That taste-defining kind of shit we rarely find. Definitely one I'll come back to often. Tracklist: 00:00 - Crying of Your Soul 03:04 - Reap What You Slay 07:31 - Process of Possession 11:00 - Legions of the Undead 17:50 - Laughing in Hell Couldn't find any links friends, probably because the other Skeletal Remains is much, much more popular Copyright Disclaimer under section 107 of the Copyright Act of 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education and research.
