It is not often that a demo excites me and fills me with expectation for a debut release, but _Slowly Forming Sanity_ shows strong signs of talent in its short running length. It is not without any reason for criticism though. The vocals do need some work: the hue and range is very good, at least for a demo, but the vocal melody some times does not follow the music very well and they can sound a bit out of place. Some shrill screams could have been omitted as well. This is a minor complain though, in an otherwise great demo.
