Fischel's Beast - demo (2008)

Well, the first song, "Commencement Forbidden" is pretty good, especially the second half. After that, the rest of the demo sounds like power/progmetal from the mid-90's, both in style and production. The playing is solid, the writing is pretty decent, and the vocals are decent but not exceptional. I'm a little surprised that this is a recent demo because it sounds pretty dated. Not something I'll listen to much, but the first track might show up in my random playlists from time to time.
