These guys are probably most famous for being the backing live band for Alex Schulze and Naked Whipper, but there music easily stands on it's own. This is top quality OSDM that has been relegated to literal obscurity (they have 15 listeners and less than 100 total listens on last.fm, and about 20 of those listens are mine). Musicially this is excellent, dark, evil sounding old school death metal. Good riffs, good vocals, and what I think is excellent drumming (I don't know why, but it stood out to me). The recording is also of good quality for a nearly 20 year old demo.

The demo is pretty tough to find, though if you check my blog I'm sure it will illuminate the path. I've also turned the entire Arisen from Flame demo into YouTube videos for preview purposes, as there was no way to check them out short of blindly downloading the demo before that.

Best Track(s): Below Pervetion, Outer Realms
