Genre: Brutal death metal
Origin: Sweden
Released: 2006
Website: Splattered Mermaids
Label: Inner Voice Records
Uploaded: 30.03.06

So it�s time for the second demo from these guys, the second assault of groovy and brutal death metal. Something that strikes me instantly, that I�ve never noticed before, is the way these guys really reminds me of Relentless. And seeing how Relentless is one of my all-time favourite death metal acts, this aint a bad thing! It has the same groove in the riffs, the same grooving drums, only to break out into a grinding inferno, growling vocals that still let you hear the vocals. Holy fucking shit this is great!
Ahh� The guitar in the beginning of Your Bleeding, magnificent! If you want your death metal to be headbanger friendly, groovy-as-fuck with punishing grinding drums, thunderous string-work and top-notch growling and screaming � Well then look no further, Splattered Mermaids is for you. And the production is way better than most demos. There�s not a lot stopping it from being a real album. Except maybe the fact that it�s a CD-R and only 19 minutes long. But other than that it�s just as high quality as you�d expect from an album. Top notch!
