It seems that there is a bit of questioning online if this band is the same one that recorded Let the Blood Run Free in 1990. There isn’t a good list of who played on this, but the singer sounds the same and stylistically they are the same kind of punk/thrash crossover music as the other demo I have heard (which was possibly a preview of Let the Blood Run Free?), so it seems like the same band to me (update: it has been confirmed to be the same band). DRI and Nuclear Assault are still good references for this demo, but more on the DRI side and a more noticeable punk influence on this tape. Oh, and it has the same logo for “Soundcheck Productions” on both covers, so definitely the same band. Just unsure if they kept the same members for both releases or not.
