    A short note about each band. Feast Eternal - Double bass overdosed deathmetal. Not bad though; Israel - Quality-wise poorly recorded death metal with soaring growls and occasional hisses; Maximum Pentacost - Brazilian death metal. Nice intro and at times interesting; Goredeath - Weird combination of harsh gnarling and repetitious singing; Quejidos Del Seol - Death metal from Panama with Spanish lyrics. So far one of the better contributions; NOIZ - The German Mortification. Dark and deep grunting with fast and midtempo parts. Good playing but the recorded quality should be improved in order to enjoy it more; Grim - Atmospheric black metal, yet without vocals. Monotone; Bedrata Dezum - Poorly recorded deathmetal but what I can discern is not bad; Clemency - Quality-wise a better recorded grindcore piece. Musically interesting; Pronounced Dead - Recorded live. Death metal with doomy parts; Getsemani - Atmospheric black metal with a soprano and deathy vocals. The soprano is mediocre; Tortured Conscience - 120 mph death metal. Not bad at all; Sculpture - Good death metal though the sound could have been more fat; Antidemon - Brutal death metal with deep guttural grunts. Simple but pretty good; Vaakevandring - Atmospheric black metal with potential; Crimson Thorn - Not bad. Death metal, but I don't like the vocals being mixed so loud; Salutary - Interesting thrashcore with black metal parts. The overall quality of Screams Of Abaddon is underground (demo-ish) with a few good exceptions. The second half is the better half. But it's a good way to get introduced to these underground bands.
