After a brief intro that makes you wonder if this is a vocal group, the band kicks in with some early 80s traditional metal. Of course, this particular strain of metal was sounding dated by 1988, but there were still many bands playing it well past that date as well. They mostly rock out for 5 songs straight and then throw in a piano ballad at the end, because, well, it was the 80s and lots of bands did that. This band also may have at least one more release after this – Ashes and Blood from 1994 is attributed to this band in some sources.
