Abomination features Paul Speckmann and the drummer who later was in Experiment. But despite the pedigree, this is actually quite boring thrash. One big problem is the mix -- the guitars are way too low and are drowned out by the drums. That means any intricacy of the guitar parts is lost and you're left with the rhythmic aspects of the drums. And while the music is well-played, the drums can't carry it by themselves. It probably doesn't help that I don't like Speckmann's hoarse-shouted vocals either. After a close listen, I can say that even with a better mix, this wouldn't be a great demo, though there are some decent riffs here and there.
Check out their MySpace for two of the tracks on here ("Reformation", "Over the Edge").
