I've been looking for this demo for close to 16 years, after reading a review in Metal Curse #7 that claimed they combined "the technical sides of such bands as DEATH, ATHEIST, CYNIC and OBLIVEON, with the brutality of the likes of GRAVE, DEICIDE and GOREFEST". So when doing my review of Experiment Fear, I did a search for them on Encyclopedia Metallum, which led me to their MySpace, where I finally found a link to download the whole demo.
So does it live up to Ray's hype? Not even close; but it's not bad. I don't hear Death, Atheist, or Cynic at all. The band I'm most reminded of is actually Metallica, circa RtL through AJFA, though there are some progressive touches and some nice guitar leads here and there, which remind me of Despair's Beyond All Reason. Experiment's sound certainly isn't exceptional for the time. It's not bad, and I probably would have enjoyed it back in the day, but its time has passed.
