So this tape has been remastered and re-issued on CD and even vinyl a few times. If you wanted to hear it, you can easily find it. I found it interesting to hear it in its original form. Pretty cool. The Crucified were a hardcore punk rock band at this time, bordering on skate punk here and there. This is a killer tape in that style, so I can see why there was apparently a huge buzz back in the day. This was their second demo, after Take Up Your Cross but before Live at the New Order. Of course, even bigger things were to come as they moved more towards a hardcore thrash sound on later releases. This particular tape was just the tape itself, but there is a cover for it (pictured above).
Note: There is apparently an unreleased first version of this tape with two unreleased demo songs on it.
