I can�t say I remember hearing Mareridt before, but this is a re-release of the 2004 demo bearing the same title. However I don�t know if this contain all, or just some, tracks.
After just a listen I could state that this is some rough and raw, gruffy crustcore. The sound is awful, but not to the extent of becoming unbearable. It�s more of a low-fi production adding to the brutality. The recipe for success is old school and simplicity. Pure d-beat worship with the classic short guitar solos slicing the air every now and then. The pounding drums just reek of the Scandinavian flavor. It�s a raw-as-hell 7�, but there is a but. The rough, semi-growled vocals add brutality to the mix, but at times it sounds a bit like he�s just keeping the mic too close, and not really growling. Overlooking that, though, there�s still the sound issue. It�s not unbearable and ruining the music, but it could still be a whole lot better. The riffing is almost nowhere to be found, and the string part of the instrumentation ends up pretty much in a noisy, distorted blur. But it is cool, nonetheless.
The entire thing actually reminds me a bit of the old Bombstrike demos; crappy sound, growls and Scandinavian crustcore.
