30 Years Ago: AUTOPSY record Critical Madness demo

The key to the real heaviness was getting the two guitar attack going. The first demo was a great start, but we of course wanted things to be more brutal and saw to it that we made that happen. Song-wise, there's not any difference on the first demo,...
