TRACK LISTING AND REVIEW

Open up this short book and turn to the prologue titled: 'Procreation of the Unaltered Evil'. Turn the dusty pages and don't look away until you grasp the know how of where this band has blood ties to. This group which shared a few members of early Rotting Christ. Showed us more clear signs of direction. Rather than building up to it and changing drastic styles per CD. Varathron has similarities to 80's era Slayer with a more melodic hint and show a slight hint of death metal tendencies. And a fair amount of more mid-paced sections compared to Californian thrash metallers.

The production on Procreation lacks in a few different areas. However the content and ability are hardly a flawing point. The guitars which on further releases have dual segments seem singular on here. The riffs use a fair amount of palm mutes and run side by side with higher notes. He also on occasion shows a more brutal side and speeds it up to a thrash attack of chord laden insanity. The bass guitar played clean is accented next to the guitars and act as the lacking stand out second guitar. The drums are there but sound much better on further demos. His beats are often simplistic and show slight variation. Lastly the vocals are the least stand out aspect and are very muffled and up front. He shows extremities by creating a wail-like growled noise. However they do improve sound wise on later releases.

This first demo shows us a band who lacks in a few areas but will show a more centered direction with further releases. Right here is the laboratory of where many of the melodic Greek sound came from. So for a historical value definitely check this out.
