Thanks a lot for these! I'm listening to it for the first time now and it really sounds like something I need to track down. Just a bit too much tempo changes but great primitive and raw atmosphere. Great vocals too, and the singer seems to have a rather unusual way to put his singing lines on the music sometimes!
And somebody help me out! They use this cheap synthesizer sound on the intro of the second demo, I'm sure I know another band using the same sound but I can't remember which...

I like the demos a lot, but "Power of Darkness" was a bit of a letdown with that flat & "hollow" production. Wtf happened to the guitars?!
Not to mention the disappointment of the 2nd LP :roll:
