Lobotomy - Born in Hell (2000)

Cost: 99¢
This CD is available for trade. 
Previously had this.  I couldn't remember anything specifically about the album, although I recall being generally underwhelmed and disappointed with Lobotomy's music as a whole after their demos (particularly the first two).  I mostly remember them as one of the comparatively obscure Swedish DM bands (along with Vermin and Hetsheads) who had their demo material put out on CD in the mid-'90s, way before such reissues were common.

It's actually a little better than I expected, but I'd still just give it an OK overall.   Groove-filled Sunlight DM with some dabbling in more death'n'roll-styled riffs here and there, not too different in approach from the mid-'90s output of Grave and Konkhra.  "Ashes" and "Bloodangel" have some riffs and leads very reminiscent of '90s Slayer.
