Experiment Fear - Choir Invisible (1991)

Experiment Fear is of course one of the early bands of Jeff Loomis from Nevermore. And it shows. Most of the music is semi-technical death metal with solid guitarwork and showy solos. The production isn't great, but it's adequate. The guitar work is clearly the most interesting aspect of the music. Some of the later songs move away from straight up death metal and incorporate some melody into the riffs, reminding me at times of Brutality's excellent Screams of Anguish. Of course, this is not as good as Brutality, but it's still a pretty decent listen, regardless of the fact that Loomis went on to Nevermore and the rest of the band put out a decent full-length album four years later.

By the way, all of the tracks here are available from Loomis' website.
