UMUR
"No Fuckin Cover" is the first demo recording by UK death metal act Cancer. The demo was independently released in 1988. Cancer formed in 1987 and is one of the earliest death metal acts from the UK.

The two tracks on the 7:33 minutes long demo are both influenced by the most aggressive and brutal contemporary thrash metal but a band like Death probably had a great influence on Cancer too. So the music style on the demo is somewhere in the middle of brutal thrash metal and early death metal. John Walker deliver brutal raspy vocals, which aren´t really growling but closer in style to the most brutal sounding thrash metal vocalists.

"No Fuckin Cover" sounds a lot like a rehearsal demo recorded in one take, and while I´m not sure about it, it´s my most qualified guess. So this is raw, savage, and lo-fi recorded music. It´s murky, noisy, and it´s not always possible to make out what all instruments are doing, but you´re able to hear the general direction of Cancer´s music. A 2 star (40%) rating is warranted.
