This is a some-what unreleased demo by Swedish Stoner Metal band The Quill. The cover says “Not for Sale,” so I am guessing this was just a promo cassette to gain label interest. However, all of the songs on this tape were released the next year on side 2 of Another Fruitful Day. The Quill had apparently been kicking around since the mid-1980s – but their earlier material is a bit hit and miss to find. After this demo, they got signed and started releasing full length albums (and I think they are still active to this day). None of these songs seem to have made it on to later releases. The sound is groovy, heavy, organ-filled trippy stoner metal – well-written and played. You can see why they got signed and are still going today.
