Doctor Butcher "The Demos" is one of the best demo recordings I have ever heard, being surpassed only by Armored Saints demo release. Although the production may be a notch below the full length cd , the finished product is still more than satisfying.Most of the songs on this recording that were not included on the full length cd would have easily fit in nicely on that project as well. The sound on this cd Is very much in the same vain as early Savatage as well as Doctor Butcher's full length production. The only reason this work did'nt recieve 5 stars was because the very talented former drummer of Darklin Reach, John Osborne, had not yet joined the band and is only featured on the bonus live cuts on this cd. I would highly recommend this cd to any true metal fans who want to hear some rare pieces by a superbly talented musical force.
