There are demos and then there are ATHEIST demos! BEYOND is one of those rare demos that shows how proficient this band was from the start. The material on here is so strong and of album quality that three out of the five tracks made it onto the debut album “Piece Of Time.” “Brain Damage” also appeared on the “On They Slay” demo leaving “Choose Your Death” the only track to never go any further. The music on here is just superb! I just love the raw and unfiltered sound that this demo exhibits. I find that this raw sound works so well with a naturally talented metal act like ATHEIST with their passion burners turned up full blast. This demo has been remastered and is available as bonus tracks on the remastered version of “Piece Of Time.” This is so excellent I actually prefer these tracks to the better produced album versions!
