DEMO 1992

Well, Godsend has finally been added to ProgArchives. I agree with this inclusion.

This demo though is very similar to the debut album of Cathedral. That's the doom metal band with the same name. Not the neo-prog or the classic US band from the 1970s. Godsend's demo is also similar to the stuff Funeral did at that time. This demo is essentially a funeral doom demo. A form om metal which is pretty popular these days. Those who likes funeral doom; check out this demo. For the rest of you; vacuum-clean your bedroom. The atonal vocals here and the bass driven melodies is pretty one-dimensional and dull. Progressive ? Not more than my cat is a lion scaring the life of the zebras in the Serengeti savanna. This is funeral doom and my cat is a docile creature. The quality is OK, but nothing more. It is too much of a Cathedral copy though so I am not going to give it more than two stars. Thankfully; Godsend did a sharp 90 degrees turn after this demo and went for better pastures.
