Check out the track "Face the Butcher" here:

The rest of the demo is like that, maybe a bit more progressive but just as thrashy (unlike their later demos).

Is that the band that was featured on Metal Massacre IX? Stupid name for a band, but that's a great song and I'd like to know more about them.

Yes, they're featured on Metal Massacre.
I agree their name is really stupid, but their 2 demos are great, one of the best unsigned band of late 80's !

Some more :

Mortar (USA) - Demo "Conquering Armies"
Papsmear (USA) - Demo "Lunch for the PMRC" and Demo 86
Voor (CAN) - Demo "Evil Metal"
Mortem (NOR) - Demo "Slow Death" (with future members of Arcturus, one of the most raw, primitive and brutal piece of metal ever written !!)
Terminal Death (USA) - Demo "Faces of Death"

[in aplhabetical order]
DEADLY MANOVER (Can) - "Deathology" demo
HOUSE OF USHER (Swe) - promo tape '93
LEPROSY (Swe) - "Death to this world" demo
SACRED CRUCIFIX (Fin) - "Realms of darkness" demo
TETRAGON (Fin) - all 3 demos + unreleased 12"

Pontius Prophet - "Rites of Hatred" demo (USA/1988) ex-Agent Steel
FCDN Tormentor - demo (USA/1986) sounds like a satanic Cryptic Slaughter
Damnation - "Aggressive Repulsive Symphony" demo (Canada/1987)

Oh, and I can't forget this:

Chaos Horde - demo (USA/1986)

It was just reissued as a LP -- awesome obscure thrash metal from Louisiana. They had a forgettable track on a later Metal Massacre compilation, but this demo blows it away in every possible way.

My list:
Regurgitation - Bathrooms Rule demo
Insanity - '85 Demo

Ever heard the "Sinful Dreams" (1987) demo that they did under the name of Incubus? It's quite good. I think I actually like it a little better than the Spectral Birth demos.

Today I've found ex-Medieval Steel bassist Jeff Boydstun There he posted two songs of MS Demo recordings from 1985.Never ever hear about these earlier.Here's his personal website with lot's of rare photos... http://jeffboydstun.50megs.com/
