This seems to be a different band from the one that had their demos re-issued on CD by Retrospect Records in about 2015. This is a hard rock-ish band that released this demo in 1997. The guitars tones are a bit lo-fi on this, as well as the recording levels – but they are going for a sound that is sometimes rock and other times almost hard rock. But they seems to sit just short of the hard rock line even in their hardest moments. It would be interesting to hear what this band sounded like live – did they go for a more rock direction, or a more hard rock direction?
