I found this demo online about a decade ago and loved these 3 tracks, especially Life Eraser, it's a killer death metal track in my opinion. Then I was very excited when their 2010 release dropped but ended up being somewhat disappointed by it because it just didn't grab me the way these tracks did and then, unfortunately, the band would split after that release.
