Another band that was introduced to me by this mythical Compilation by MTM , "The birth of a tragedy", back in 1992.
This is in fact the 1st proper release by this Death Metal band. And in my opinion still their best.
"Digital Horizons" is a different and faster version than the one i already knew from The MTM vynil compilation. The high point of this demo sinse i already enjoyed this track on that compilation. Dunno which one was recorded 1st though.
"Afterdeath" although a good track , relly remindes me of Celtic Frost's "Wine in My Hand (Third From the Sun) " from "Vanity/Nemesis" album. Sometimes i wounder if this isn't just a simple riff "copy/paste"... either way a good track.

"Heart of fire" , is a kinda mellow one, slow/mid paced track... nothing much, i guess the guys were emotional at that time...
The last track is a bit of happy, la,la,la tune. I really have mixed feelings about this and i still dont know if i like it or not. I guess it depends on the mood i am in. Sometimes i find it kinda silly, about that thrashy riff and cheesy chorus. But in other hand, i guess the guys were having fun and they manage to give this track a good ending.

Score/Rating: 6.5
