So I was going through my tapes one day pulling out a bunch of stuff I'd either never listened to or didn't listen to enough and found this four-song demo from 1993. I was kind of surprised that I never listened to it before. I think Cancerous Factor is an American band, but I'm not sure. This is a cool demo because it's a killer mixture of distorted/shifted grindcore-type vocals (which bring to mind Prophecy of Doom) with death metal song stylings. The songs are mid-paced most of the time, but things speed up now and then. It's hard to say how this demo would stand up to today's death/grind, but for the time it was written and, in my opinion, for the present time, it's pretty potent stuff. If you run across it, give it a listen.
