Describing their sound as "Threshive" combining Trash, Death and Progressive, these guys approach song writing as putting in as many riffs and changes as possible. The result is complex and interesting, but not very catchy. The playing here is adequate, shining particularly in the drumming, but the mix is uneven and very muddy. The final track is a mildly amusing but vaguely racist throw-away.

This being the best souding thing we’ve recorded to date, I can’t help but brag. Three of these songs are new studio tracks, with a very clear digital quality, and the playing is nicely improved. The two live tracks are only a bit muddled, with the vocals suffering most, both in performance and effects put on it by the house engineer. The other two tracks are remixes from the previous demo and sound far superior, one gaining a new intro and shortened ending during mastering. As a result of shopping this demo, they were signed to an independent label and began recording an album that is now overdue for release.
