Vermillion-Rehearsal demo 2011

These guys just played a great show this last Saturday. Brutal and uncompromising, these guys are an extremely capable 4 piece who have been playing throughout southern Wisconsin quite a bit over the last year. Kurt Manthe who used to be the lead vocalist of Madison death metalers Corpsicle, also decided to take up rhythm guitar duties here as well. He shares lead vocals with bassist Rob Michels in a verbal display of contempt that complement each other perfectly. Bill Werner is a guitarist who has been with Kurt since the Corpsicle days. Along the way he played technical thrash in the band Soulkeep and was the sole musician in black metal project Born of Witch. Filling out the four piece is drummer James Kalagian who also has served time in Corpsicle and his technical ability is firmly on display on this rehearsal demo. Please remember to take the sound on this with a grain of salt as it is just something meant to tide them over until they can enter a studio. If you like what you hear, get your ass to a show, buy some merch, spread the word and tell your friends. The sound is vaguely a cross between Mortician and Macabre with a dash of Skinless tossed in for good measure. Great shit so check it out.
