![Sic Seed - [demo 2001] - cover art](/reviews/covers/nocover.gif)
With a band name like Sic Seed I didn't really expect much
from this Virginia based band but their first demo is actually pretty good.
The production is professional which gives them a powerful sound. Demos today
don't usually sound like they did ten years ago and some people claim that
the underground is dead because of this (and for a lot of other reasons as
well). I do not agree with this viewpoint and I'm only glad that more and
more bands are able to make their demos sound good instead of putting out a
thousand Darkthrone sounding tapes. It is hard to tell whether Sic Seed will
make it big in the future from only a three-track demo but what I do know is
that they are good at what they do. They don't really have an all original
sound or a unique musical personality which is necessary today but they have
completed three good songs which is at least a start towards something
unknown. Their music of today sounds a little like older Napalm Death with
grindcore screams coupled with a Pantera groove that is not heard very often.
The second track also begins with a long spoken intro. The vocals are not
really of my taste but their music isn't that bad at all. If you are a
Pantera fan and don't mind a little bit of grindcore screams you might come
to like these Americans.
