Damn, I hate to do it as there are only about a dozen demos I've rated where I've given a bad score on "production" alone, but this is falling in that category. The first song is crazy unlistenable because you just can't hear shit, but the demo picks up in moments of clarity a little bit, rearing it's head here and there as it goes, but is it enough? Track 3 "In Nomina" is straight dump-bin, and "The Sins of Jesus Christ" is mostly throwaway but gets moving around better in the last two minutes. Track two "Into the Death" while the best song here, is another one of those songs where the motif is too closely a variation of the main opening riff on Infernal Death off SBG. Something about that one huh. The live track is ok and not any better or worse sounding than anything else here and the last minute is crowd banter. If the production was a little better I would be more open to giving it another half a point.
