REVIEW: Sarcastic - Past, Present...Forever (demo) Self-financed, 2001
6.5/10
Sarcastic - Past, Present...Forever (demo) - cover art Sarcastic is not a new Swedish band but they haven't released any albums so far. In the mid-90's they were one of several bands closely linked to Dissection as they came from the same town on the west coast of Sweden and their guitarist Mäbe even did some session work for Dissection. The music of Sarcastic is a lot thrashier though and since the band started out playing covers from bands like Metallica, Slayer and Kreator it is not that strange. The vocals are generally more brutal and black metal-ish than thrash metal vocals usually are. All of the tracks on this demo was written a while back (the band was formed in 1992 under the name Scavenger) but in March this year two of the old band members decided to reawaken the band and record these tracks once again. The first four tracks are the band's own material while the final one is a Carnage cover. Production-wise this cd is rather mediocre but for being a demo recording it is of high quality. Sarcastic is now alive again and what the future brings we will hopefully live to tell. In September they did their first gig after the reunion together with Soul Reaper in Gothenburg which probably means that they will stick around for a while. Brutal thrash metal fans should check this band out. Especially the first two tracks on this demo shows a great deal of potential.
