Here is one of Rogga's oldest bands and he had 2 full-length releases last year with this entity and yet another this year. This is my own CD rip but the production quality is a bit lacking on this disc as it was recorded way to low for my tastes.

I wasn't familiar with this particular Cemetery but I am aware of the Indonesian band of the same name and of course, there is the Swedish Cemetary  However, after doing some research (Googling), I see that these guys first formed way back in the mid-80s but only had 2 demos and a compilation to their credit prior to this release. However, I am glad I came across the band now because this disc is really pretty good.
