I noted in the review of the 2 song demo by this band that they also recorded this demo. Someone shared the files from that demo online recently (unfortunately at a low mp3 bitrate, but still better than nothing). This one starts off more melodic and ballad driven than the last demo (“Without a Prayer” from that demo is re-recorded here). Of course, the third song “Pictures of the Past” jumps into neoclassical/progressive metal mode, so this tape is not a soft rock affair by any means. The files come with a quote from JD Miller of Arsenal fame that says he formed this band after Arsenal’s label went out of business in 1992. They apparently even signed to Word/Benson at one point, who had them go to Nashville to record some demos (these songs maybe?). But metal was on the way out and they decided not to record a full release at the time.
