27 Years Ago: FUNEBRE complete Demo 90 (Early Finnish Death Metal)

I usually write the riffs, but nowadays the others have plenty of ideas about how to put the riffs in a fitting order, and sometimes we have to throw out some riffs. I think you can call us a democratic band in a way or another, but in...
