EXCREMENT (Fin) – ‘Flesh and Blood’ MCD

Official reissue of the first demo from 1993. Old Finnish Death Metal. EXCREMENT were a short-lived death metal band made up by bunch of teenagers from Vimpeli, a tiny countryside village in western Finland. The band first started out in 1990 as a trio under the name Apoplexy, first trying to figure out which way to actually hold an instrument, then mostly playing covers of Sodom, Sepultura etc, and finally, with enough of their own material, recording their first, primitive five-track demo in August 1992. Encouraged by having put out at least something and highly inspired by the then-current Finnish death metal scene, the band stepped up their game by improved songwriting, adding second guitarist Sami, and changing the name to EXCREMENT – because it “sounds and looks more brutal,” says founding vocalist/guitarist Antti Oinonen (Cadaveric Incubator, ex-Slugathor).
