I really like this. It's sort of dark melodic metal I guess, and fairly original. It could do with a polish, but in the main the tracks are all quite good. Vocally it's pretty much the standard growly thing most of the time, but the drumming is very confident and tight (for the most part). Unlike many bands, the vocals (despite being growly) manage to fit into and complement the music very well. Certainly worthy of a moshing frenzy. There are sections of non-growls vocals, but to me they sound slightly out of tune.

The ending of 'Enigma Of Mesmerize' could perhaps do with a little fine tuning, the lead guitar may needs altered slightly (perhaps a slightly softer sound), and a bit more work could be done on transitions, but for the most part it's very enjoyable. 'Remember' has a great complex acoustic part in it, but when the other guitars come in it just disappears and that doesn't really sound as good as it could. That song also drags on a bit.

Overall, a pretty good demo. Worth getting if you're into this kind of music.
