Death Metal from Japan, my attention was immediately drawn, and that debt has lain with Intestine Baalism for years, ever since their magnificent debut ‘An Anatomy of the Beast’ was released. Parasitario isn’t in that vein, but that doesn’t spoil the fun, far from it.
FelixS mentioned in his review of their debut album ‘Everything Belongs To Death’ that singer/guitarist Yuto Kotani is an equal to Martin van Drunen during the 90s, and it’s clear that he easily carries this line through to this rehearsal demo. A beautifully filthy grunt, which Marc Grewe also had a patent on around 1990, where at the end of a vocal extension it sounds as if the throat is being slit…I need little to find musical fulfilment.
In terms of Old School Death Metal, Parasitario stays in the style of up-tempo Asphyx, Morgoth (EPs and ‘Cursed’), Pestilence (‘Mallevs Maleficarvm’ and ‘Consvming Impvlse’) and Death around ‘Leprosy’. Together with the nostalgic yet balanced demo sound and old school artwork on a cassette cover, all the pieces of the puzzle fall into place.
Again,I need little to find musical fulfilment, but Parasitario definitely does the trick.
