29 Years Ago: NIHILIST complete Only Shreds Remain demo at Sunlight Studio

We used Sunlight only because Morbid had been there. But I was not pleased with the studio. I think the production on our second demo sucks. The drums, especially, sound awful. Skogsberg didn't know much about how to take care of death metal back then. The reason we...
