This compilation of sorts unites all their six demos on one CD. These were previously limited and available on cassettes and 7" EPs. You also have some mysterious recordings gathered during their 20 years life span.
You have seen the cover art and this is pretty much representative of the noise recorded here. I know, I know those are demos, still getting through this album in one sitting is no easy endeavor. By the sound quality, I was able to differentiate the different demos included. Demo 1= tracks 1-4; 2= 5-9; 3= 10-16; 4= 17-19; 5= 20-24 and 6 = 25-30. The four remaining must be what the info called "obscure rehearsals and the 1985 demo from Death Sentence". I might be wrong, but with no other clues, it is my best guest. Anyways, what we can hear on these demos is some mean blackened death metal venom. This is abrasive and raw music and the song content is blasphemous. Now I can judge that by the wicked vibe of the vocals and the track listing, of course. You normally can't understand a word this guy is saying and on demo # 2, (tracks 5-9), the production is so bad, you don't get much more than buzzing noises to listen. On the other hand, I found the tracks not too repetitive and, in a few occasions, some melodic hues are offered to the listener. I even enjoyed their slower and doom style such as in: "Nunslaughter", "Church of Disgust" and the cleaner sounding "The Guts of Christ". Most of the time what you get is basically buzzing bass, razor sounding guitars, kicking drums, often of the cardboard sounding type and undecipherable or harsh growls voices. A few vocals and music samplings, most likely extracts from movies, are scattered here and there. Compositions like "Burn in Hell", "You Bleed" and "Slaughter the Heavens are where they can be heard.
To sum up, DemoSlaughter is just a collector and hardcore fan compilation. Otherwise, I would recommend staying away from it.
