Greek NS war metal featuring members of LEGION OF DOOM, DEMOGORGON, and LAMENTATION. DER STURMER sounds nothing like any of those bands, not to mention this is superior to all of them. Hitler/NS speeches take up nearly half of this demo's 15 (+/-) minute playing time, and the music is primitive yet violent. Usually only 1-2 riffs per song and the drumbeat (I think a drum machine is used here) never changes. The vocals are around a mid-pitch range, and all lyrics are in both English and German. I can somewhat compare this band to CAPRICORNUS (minus all the speeches), but I think DER STURMER is better. A great release, hopefully the future material of this band is equally strong...
