Finally in September they recorded their 2nd demo tape "The Human Remnants of..." which included 3 tracks "Winds Of Insanity (Intro)", "Hedonist Grimace" and "Peroxide". With this demo tape made ​​Braindead one of the most promising national bands. October 15th 1988, the group played with Procyon, Thormenthor and The Coven in Fogueteiro. April 1989 Michael and Marco leaved the band due to musical differences. But a few weeks later they returned, the line up was: Michael vocals, Marco drums, Nobre guitar, Vasco guitar and the new member Nuno Espírito Santo bass replacing Miguel Fonseca, who had joined Thormenthor.
