Raise them and Eat Them - Chapter #1 The Omnipotent Failure (Demo/2004)

Math Metal/Noisecore/Metalcore band from Canada [Toronto, Ontario]
Tracklist: 
01. Chapter #1 The Omnipotent Failure
02. The Priest

The origin of Raise Them and Eat Them, as an idea, could have begun as early as 2002 (as some sources claim). But the band didn’t actually come together until January of 2004. The initial line-up featured Ken Galbraith on bass and vocals, his brother Jay Galbraith on drums and Nathan Obonsawin on guitar. This was a sort of Toronto side-project idea for the band members, after Jay and Ken broke up Katja and Nathan had quit Arkata. Additionally, Jay had never played drums in any band before, but he learned so quickly that by their first show, no one would have guessed. The line-up was stabilized in early spring when Aaron Marchildon became the official vocalist.
In late May they recorded their first song, “Chapter #1: The Omnipotent Failure”, in their home studio, and registered a page on HxCmp3.com. The new band was already planning a CD EP release later that summer. In late July or early August, Dave Buschemeyer joined as a second guitarist, two years after quitting The Abandoned Hearts Club. To be honest, Raise Them and Eat Them sound very similar to The Abandoned Hearts Club, although they have a more dissonant sound and focus less on electronics.

I took these two tracks from their HxCmp3.com page, as well as the second "Priest", but I did not upload it here (but it is on the blog), since it is already on YouTube, it is not difficult to find, but as I understand it is different in terms of volume, since there is only a "silent" rip from the vinyl in the network, which was re-released by "It's A Disaster! Records"
