This is the first demo by Arsenal. The first three songs would be re-recorded for their 1987 demo, which has been covered here already. The versions here are pretty much the same, except for maybe a bit rawer. Arsenal played straight ahead heavy metal with female vocals. Five years after this demo, they were still around and signed to Regency  Records to release Armored Choir. The two songs at the end of this might sound familiar to those that have heard the East Coast Metal compilation from 1987, as they were both included there. After this demo, the band released a two song demo in 1986.
