Damascus returns for their third demo. The progressive rock and pomp are all continued on this album. This demo rarely reaches the “heavy metal” stage, except maybe on songs like “The Keeper.” But it is still tightly played and well written progressive rock. Probably the best of three that I have heard so far (including their 1983 demo and 1984’s Will I Find You There?). Of course, three years have passed since their last demo, so thankfully they did progress. Three years after this, they released Soon… The Doors Will Open and then called it a day.
