Forget Morbid Angel, forget Deicide, forget Obituary...dispose of everything that you once knew to be the epitome of Floridian Death Metal in the mid 1980's. This my friends, is the key to what brutality is. This Incubus is not the band as the Brazilian one that released an LP called "Serpent Temptation" in 1988.

After leaving Morbid Angel, S. V. Scarborough and Mike Browning set to work on what is consider by many one of the most sick releases of the period in the episode of early Death Metal history. Sadly, the band once recorded this 3 track demo and shortly dissolved afterwards with Browning creating Nocturnus w/ Marino and to-be Acheron founder, Vincent Crowley.

What sets this apart, is in my opinion, the fresh sound it has. I have yet to hear anyone do anything close to this thrashing death with its clear sounding but, rough vocals. And of course, it's kick ass style of wailing and saw like guitar work. Hear the demo here: http://chevy76.multiply.com/music/item/99

Here's a very thorough interview w/ Mike Browning where he talks about the Incubus demo and the surrounding happenings.
