The Exordium

Crematory is my favorite of the lesser-known early Swedish death pioneers. Their brand of brutality was extremely raw and ugly as demonstrated by their second demo The Exordium. Sadly, these Scandinatheists never managed to get a proper full-length record out there, just a series of amazing demos, and an EP called Denial. Some bootlegs and half-assed reissues have surfaced since the band's demise, but none that have really done the putrid genius of Crematory any amount of justice.

  1. Thanks Aesop. Crematory kicks ass... the more I dig into the early Swedish DM scene, the more convinced I am that a lot of the wrong bands 'made it'. This demo is amazing, cheers.

  2. I just figured out that the weird German Crematory, who's tape I found at the flea market, is not the only one, and this one is way better. BRUUTAL!
