BLOOD SPORT (Fin) Steel system/ Agitator Demo. 2020. Digital. Self-released. Speed kills, but who's bleeding? Oh! What you have here is very cool old school speed metal with a strong 80's influence! When I say "Speed", in this spiking case I'm talking about a mix of faster heavy metal style, with a dose of more rock'n roll riffs, and a portion of "pre-thrash" fast riffings (So Blood sport might take both of the early speed metal genres, if you want to be a precise old fart). The music is warm & cool to listen to, the songs are developed in an 80's heavy atmosphere (Variations on themes, etc). This reminds me of the first ENFORCER Demo (Sweden/ When it was still a solo project), with some old MERCYFUL FATE ("Don't break the oath"), then with some early DESTRUCTION or old RAZOR in the more thrashing moments, and perhaps with something from BATHORY (Think about the "Burning leather" bonus track) for some speed metal riffs (But the spirit isn't so evil here)... Uh, there are some GREAT technical & rock'n roll speed riffs here, it stands out and catches your rotting skull! (Notice the drumming is probably a machine, but it doesn't bother). This demo contains two very nice songs in the old school style! This is quite promising. At the moment I'm writing these words, these songs were also released by the band in a small quantity of tapes, but I imagine it shouldn't be too long until a label boosts the distribution...
