The guitar work on the 1996 demo is raw and unique, wish the vocals were turned down, some were slightly out of tune or takes could have been re-took/re-worked, and the bass work should have turned up, the 2001 album version is good but same deal, vocals needed to be turned down, should have searched for the perfect female operatic singer or used the first one on the demo again. Hate Eternal with Doug from Suffocation was great though!
I love Martina Astner/Hornbacher. She's a frequent player in quite a lot of great bands. This demo is great too and the album sounds pretty faithful to it just with more songs. I wish they would have done more. Something great about a real Death Metal guitarist working on a Gothic Metal album.
