This appears to be the last Cephas demo (after 1996’s Tape) before members went on to form Task at Hand. The past tapes were hardcore/metalcore, but this tape appears to be hardcore/rapcore. I had to go back and listen to their last tape to make sure I didn’t review it wrong. But it seems they are going for a style change here. Especially with the third song – a ballad(?) with sung vocals. No songs titles came with the tape, so I took a guess above based on the most repeated words or phrase. But the shouted rapcore style gang vocals were hard to understand in the first song. Note that the YouTube video below has the song list from their 1995 tape Grace, but the video is the four songs listed above.

Missing Information: Who played on this? What are the song titles?
