Naked Lunch - El Terror De La Asfixia and The Illuminati (1994)

This is a pair of demos from a band mixing industrial with metal and a slight touch of goth. The music is repetitive and simplistic, with heavy use of sampling (the ones I recognized were mostly lines from movies). But like Ministry's Psalm 69, they liberally use metal riffs giving this more of a crossover feel than just straight metal or industrial. The singing is a mix of clean and distorted styles, with the clean vocals having a slight hint of Type O Negative in them. Both demos are of similar style and quality -- I couldn't tell them apart. I somewhat enjoyed these, even though it's not really my cup of tea. It's performed well, and was probably one of the earlier bands doing the metal/industrial crossover. That said, I'm probably not going to ever listen to them again.
