Another demo from the Scene and Unseen Music Club. This band is a 90s nu-metal / hardcore band that kind of reminds me of Godfear with cleaner vocals. This is not the rapcore side of nu-metal – this is the earlier version that was more hardcore with trade-offs between shouted vocals and clean vocals, and even some grunge influences here and there. I know that this band also had a demo before this one in 1993 called Bent, but I don’t know much else about where they came from or went.
