Crypt of Kerberos is my favorite swedish death metal band alongside Crematory, and for many reasons. One of them is that I love all their material, despite the huge difference between this demo and what they have made later. I have discovered this band with "World of Myths, a fantastic album that blends Progressive Death Metal and neo-classical guitar shredding and power metal influenced passages. When I discovered this demo years ago, I was shocked to realize this was the same band. This is down-tuned, filthy, primitive death metal in the vein of Bolt Thrower, Autopsy, Demilich, Moondark and Abhorrence. Dark, semi-doomy death metal at it's very BEST. I've grown to love their early sound as much as the shreddier, more progressive World of Myths, and I think the best combination of both aesthetics would be their 7" single "Cyclone of Insanity" which I also recommend, as I consider it to be the greatest death metal 7" of all-time next to Spring of Recovery by Adramelech. The same could be said about the following demo the band released a few months later, that I have also uploaded. Enjoy!
