Martin's vocals are almost like Sheepdog of Razor but more restrained

I think the music is quite good though obviously this is an early amateur/independent recording. The vocals however are pretty bad. Basically the vocals are just spoken and not sung, growled or with any real harshness. They aren't really like your typical death metal or even thrash style....musically I like this earlier stuff its more of a thrash/death mix. With better vocals this would be a great demo. I know Martin would develop his death growl. I guess I was just never super impressed with any of his work. Asphix is a bit better. The previous demo has Patrick the guitarist singing in his early style which I like better than Martins early vocals. Patrick would return to vocals on the third album on which I like his developed style. Musically the first 3 albums are great. The first one still has those thrash elements. The second is full on classic death metal. On the third album they develop a more technical death metal style with a more progressive approach. I always though with the right vocalist pestilence would have made a big mark on the scene.
