'Harvest Remnants' is a compilation of three demos released in the early 90s by Spanish death metal band Human Waste. So, it's not a complete overview by this band. The CD contains 20 songs in total and kicks off with the five tracks of the 'Promo '93'. This promo was never officially released and it will be the first time for many people to hear these songs. Next to that you'll get the tracks of the demos 'Existential Nausea' from 1992 and 'The Miracle Of Death' from 1991. Last but not least you'll find a cover of the Celtic Frost classic 'Circle Of The Tyrants'. The two demos from 1991 and 1992 were officially released by Drowned Productions back in the day and that label can largely be seen as a forerunner of Xtreem Music. Musically this is quite a decent disc but you should take note that the quality of the recordings isn't up to today's standards. Human Waste's style is a bit in the vein of Suffocation and Death. To be honest I don't think you need to have this CD. This is something for the die-hard collectors amongst the death metal fans.
It took a few minutes until clarity prevailed. So many bands using the same name. Of course the label Xtreem Music should have given me a hint, but I did not recognize the label at first sight. HUMAN WASTE are from Spain and the album "Brothel Of Souls" was the only full-length the band ever released during their career from 1990 to 2000. This CD features the following releases: the two demo tapes "The Miracle of Death" (1991) and "Existential Nausea" (1992) plus a promo tape simply entitled "Promo Tape '93" and a cover tune of CELTIC FROST's 'Circle Of The Tyrants'. Quite interestingly the band was labeled as technical or progressive. If you listen to "Harvest Remnants" it seems an audible bass plus some breaks and a drummer also handling the keyboard in the line-up (responsible for some intro / outro noise) was sufficient to be considered as technical and progressive. Please do not get those words in its present meaning. It is simply Death Metal the way it was played by so many bands in the early 1990s. Of course not on the same level like the albums published in 1991, but do not forget, these are demo recordings. Although some songs during the 70 minutes playing-time are premature, the whole release is a tasty tidbit for all Death Metal fans who do not mind demo sound and rather classic songwriting.
No es un nuevo disco de HUMAN WASTE, de hecho llevan años separados, pero es un documento histórico que todo amante de la banda y del Death Metal nacional deberÃa tener. Es una prueba más que evidente que el metal extremo en este paÃs ha contado con muy buenas bandas desde siempre y no solo ahora. Recomendado, como todo buen clásico que se precie.
