Compilation release gathering Nocturnus's 1987 and 1988 demos released prior to their cult sci-fi death metal classic "The Key". This was put out by Nuclear War Now! in 2014 and is sourced from the original reels so the quality should be the best available. Also newly mastered by the eminent James Plotkin.

Nocturnus are still active today (as "Nocturnus AD") and perform shows fairly regularly. You can check out their Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/NocturnusAD

Mike Browning is also part of another death metal band called After Death, who have put out a few releases. You can find their Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/AfterDeath666

Second and most recent full-length album from this Finnish death metal band, released in 2005 by Bestial Burst. Lots of melodic "epic" styled riffs on here that give the songs a fairly atypical feel compared to most death metal.
