What demo ended with a spinning axe approaching the screen, followed by a...

...followed by a picture of the unfortunate victim getting the axe in the head? It was a gory (but hand drawn) picture, and looked like it was from an 80's horror film. That was just the final sequence of the demo, the only other sequence I recall involved rotating blocks.

It had a particularly good rave soundtrack, with a nice Prodigy-esque breakbeat in there. The track would speed up toward the finale.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Wit Premium by Freezers. It's a nice one

I really like Lech by them as well

Tremendous, musashi5150! As soon as you mentioned the name a flood of memories started coming back. Thank you, I'm going to check out Lech as well!

I don't suppose you have any memories of Wit Premium appearing on a covermount CD at all? I'm curious where I obtained it, I only had access to a handful of demos back then and most of my software was from magazines.

You're welcome - they are actually a couple of my favourites

If I had to guess, I'd say it was on a CU Amiga cover CD... and if you pushed me I'd say November 1995 because that had a good selection of Aminet7 content on it and I loved it to death at the time

Oh now then, that takes me back because I definitely had that CU Amiga cover CD! It was their first one wasn't it?

I didn't have the fondest memories of it though... I remember spotting it in WH Smith (or was it John Menzies at the time) and being so excited seeing a CD-ROM stuck to the cover which I assumed would work in my CD32. I got the magazine home and was so disappointed finding it wouldn't boot up.

But all was well a year or two later when I obtained a proper CD-ROM drive for my A1200

Still remember the feeling of sifting through the directories of those CU Amiga discs and other Aminet discs I picked up. So much stuff to check out!
