Yeah, that is a pretty harsh cover there. The goal with this tape definitely seems to be to scare people into compliance with the Bible. Which is a common Church tactic – not really that effective overall, but still one that is out there. So of course the music is heavy metal – not death metal like the cover would seem to imply, but more of an energetic female-fronted traditional metal. It could almost be borderline thrash, but seems to stay mostly in the traditional metal realm. There are really just two songs here, and then a 10 minute long testimony from lead singer Elly.
