This is not the speed/thrash metal band from California that released Weapons of Our Warfare. They are also not the AOR band from California that released one album for Morada Records. Or the pop rock band from Germany that released several albums in the late 70s. This is a heavy metal band from Illinois that only released this demo in 1987. This demo starts off with a traditional metal sound that is also almost neoclassical with the high-pitched wails from the lead singer. Of course, they have a couple ballads and an instrumental guitar solo song. But other than this, I don’t know if there was anything else by this band.
