band just after the recordings) and Miettinen didn't play on this demo but they
were named as current members of the band in the booklet.

Female vocals on "Translucent Image" performed by Nina Keitel (not much known
about her; she lives in Lappeenranta and studies).

-The word "Ubiguitous" doesn't exist. Maybe it was a mistake on the cover and
it should mean "Ubiquitous".
-Some riffs and vocal melodies in "Translucent Image" were used in Sinergy's
"Beware The Heavens".
-The Intro of the "Ubiguitous Absence Of Remission" demo was made by Peter
Hajba a.k.a Skaven for a PC demo called "Second Reality".

Inearthed - Implosion of Heaven (Pre Children of Bodom) (224)

Line-up:

Alexi Laiho - Vocals & Guitar
Samuli Miettinen - Bass
Jaska Raatikainen - Drums

-Recorded at Munkkiniemen demostudio with a 24 track recorder, 20th & 21st of
August 1994
-Music written by Alexi Laiho, lyrics by Samuli Miettinen.
-The outro "Tss, Aah !!!" is more or less a joke. The guitar melody of it is
from an advertisement of some light beer which was shown in Finnish TV in 1994.
"Tss" describes the sound of opening the beer bottle and "Aah" stands for
pleasure of the drinker. On Children of Bodom's cover of 'Hellion' (W.A.S.P.) an
intro appears that sounds very similar to this outro.

1.	Chaos	04:29
2.	Shards of Truth	06:31
3.	Implosion of Heaven	03:55
4.	Tss, Ahh!!!	00:40

Review :

All of the instruments on this demo are very noticable, with just a little loss of high end. But thats not truely a bad thing, I myself am a fan of the raw production. Some of the melodies heard on this demo can be found lingering on COB's other albums.
The mood is very dark, especially on Homeland II. The main riff is actaully from Towards Dead End, but much slower, and I actaully like it better this way.

All of the songs on this album are noteworthy and very good. Especially the keys, they add texture and mood to the demo. Even Alexi's solos are pretty good for a teenager. Also there are acoustic passages. Which COB pretty much never did on any of there albums, expcept for a little part on Something WIld "Red Light in My Eys Part 1".

The vocals are very good to, they are closer to a black metal style rather then that thrashy sound on Hatecrew and Are You Dead Yet?

Talking of the Trees is by far my favorite song on this demo. The main riff is pretty cool, then it goes right into a fast melodic riff quickley followed by another great riff along with the vocals.

There is not much to say about this demo, except that anyone who is a fan of Something Wild, and any other Black/Death/Metal bands of the 90'-97' era should definetly give this demo along with Inearthed's other demo a listen. Take the demo for what its worth. Don't judge it one bit by the production. Take in the melodies, and familiar riffs found in Homeland II and Talking of the Trees (which by the way has a female vocal part in it) and just enjoy it.

1.	Talking of the Trees (Sanctuary)	05:19
2.	Vision of Eternal Sorrow	05:02
3.	Homeland	04:42
4.	Homeland II: Shining (The 4th Kingdom)	03:00
