In a Spleen- Nativity ( Demo)

In a Spleen were a really obscure band. They have only made two demos and one split CD and then they have disbanded. They were in Tolmin, a Slovenian city. Tolmin is nowadays well-known because each year there is a Metal festival called Metalcamp, but before Metalcamp, Tolmin was not one of the important cities for Metal. The reason I am going to present this band simply is, because they are from my country ( yes, I am from Slovenia), because they were the first Doom Metal band from Slovenia and because they are really obscure band and even Slovenians doesn’t know much about it. This demo is from 1994 and it is their last material ever recorded

 An interesting thing for In a Spleen is that they had a flute player (which is quite  uncommon for Doom Metal). The riffs on all three songs are a strong point of this demo. They are quite heavy and in vain of Pentagram and Black Sabbath. A demo starts with song: In the sun, which  is more upbeat song and it is heavy metal song, that you could compare to Pentagram. It has some nice riffs, however I feel that In Spleen could do it better. Next song is called She-Nude Female Figure and it is a nice doomy song. The best song on this demo is the last track  self- tilted track Nativity. It is the longest track here and it is over 7 min long. It has again good riffs and a flute adds a nice atmosphere. It is the most original track on this demo and shows that In a Spleen had talent for writing a good Doom song...

Well, I think this demo is not bad demo for our Slovenian scene. Those guys had talent and it is shame that they disbanded before they made an album... There were things to improve of course ( especially the vocalist is the worst chain in the link), but that makes a solid demo at least.
