This was Chariot’s third demo after 1985’s Tell the World and 1986’s Demo 2. From what I can tell, this was originally released in 1987, and the re-released on CD in 1989 with a different song order. This is a transfer from the 1987 version I believe. They also released a demo in 1989 after this one as well. “Know for Sure” and “Truth” were also on their 1986 demo (the liner notes seem to point to these being the same version), while “Truth” would make an appearance on their 1989 demo. The sound here is a bit more straight forward metal than their earlier demos – a little on the commercial side here and there, but still mostly blazing metal.
