What a great bunch of guys, and seriously.....absolutely stunning live! We played about 5 to 6 shows with them in their short career, and they were SO good...it was downright unnerving. Sure the quality of the demo is bad, but so what, so is every other underground demo from the 80's......that's what it was all about! I know this is quite a cliche line I am about to use...but these guys should have been HUGE! Great post Dave!CHRIShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10068927768610945659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3026612106880254203.post-43083211854973632072011-04-12T11:30:00.193-04:002011-04-12T11:30:00.193-04:00Yeah, I remember even back in the day wishing the ...Yeah, I remember even back in the day wishing the sound quality was a little better on the 87 demo but in hindsight the recording quality adds a little bit of charm to the overall package if you know what I mean. Authentic underground metal 20 + years ago had a certain character that is sadly missing from most of the cookie cutter produced album of today.Dave Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02035970027537584354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3026612106880254203.post-80069855868105527862011-04-12T11:24:54.356-04:002011-04-12T11:24:54.356-04:00The 87 demo has some great songs on it.

Don't get me wrong it's still listen-able, it just makes you wonder what the songs could've sounded like if they had proper production. I think this band was ahead of their time. You can hear some influences in the music but still, they were doing some interesting shit for 1987.<br /><br />The demo is a testament of its time and I love to see things like this come to light after 20 something years. <br /><br />The 88 demo song sounds really good after all these years. Again, pretty ripping for its time. You can definitely hear the Voivod influence but it's not a bad thing at all. It's actually pretty cool to hear the Voivod influence and at the same time they do a really good job of making it their own song. Pretty sick.<br /><br />The At War With Self song is great too. Really good prog metal if I can describe it that way. Reminds me at times of the later Death albums (Sound of Perseverance) where they wound throw in technical jazz type parts but at the same time this comes across as a lot more experimental and different, in a good way. It all fits together really, really well. Great riffs too.<br /><br />All around a very nice post, thanks!screambloodygorenoreply@blogger.com
