They are indeed an excellent band, but just some details...

The leads are done by Stefan... at least nowadays, maybe Klas did some leads
on "Death Unfolds".

You haven't yet heard H}kan Morberg play, the bass on the demos was done
by their former bassist Jens Almgren. 

There are loads of demos recorded in Sunlight... When you read demo reviews
in zines here you often see things like "XXXXX is a Stockholm band, but the
demo is NOT recorded in Sunlight!!!" (usually meant as a positive thing,
there are already 1000 bands sounding like Entombed)

I think that these two demos are still available... but they probably won't
be when the album is out.
