Not much information on this demo, but you get listening to it and there are a lot of songs! The sound seems to bounce between traditional metal and power metal. There is definitely an early 80s sound to this, as the recording seems to be basic like many albums were at the time (in other words, not a lot of tracks to layer with). But the quality is still above your average demo. And the riffs keep coming, even as you get father into the songs. They speed up a few times and slow it down a few times to give you some variety. In fact, I would say that a few times they give off an AC/DC blue collar hard rock sound as well. Lots of promise here, but I don’t know if the band got any attention for it. I had to take a guess at the songs titles above, but I have seen other guesses online as well, so I could be wrong.
