The Art of Butchery were a Spanish brutal death metal band. They've released this promo in '95 and their debut album, "My Pleasure is Your Pain" a year later in '96. The album is literally this demo but with a more fitting production - yep, same tracklist and all!
While their music fits into the style of brutal death, I'd say they are still very rooted in good old mid 90's death metal. Also, finding brutal death with some cosmic horror themes is always nice, not super common! Their first 2 tracks also diverge from the average broots track length, going up to the 7min mark! It's a shame the guitars sound quite thin sometimes and the kick drum isn't very powerful because damn the vocals go nuts sometimes, the drummer is really skilled and the riffs are pretty dynamic! This is something they would later work on a little for the debut album if you're interested in hearing this under a different light :)

Tracklist:
00:00 - The Cosmic Horrors
06:03 - With My Methods of Hate
13:15 - Syndrome of Total Spinal Cord Dissection
