The Cannibal Corpse demo is pretty cool.

Is their demo kind of thrashy like Eaten Back to Life?? Unfortunately I have yet to hear it.

I’ve been listening to some Veles lately. I’ve always loved their raw yet melodic and majestic take on bm.

Sounds like something interesting to check out, I generally like Barnes’ guttural vocals.
