This might have been the closet that X-Terra came to a full length album in their early years. This demo seems to be surrounded by shorter tapes just called “Demo” – a three song demo in 1988, and a three song demo in 1990 that just had three songs from this demo (“Who Said,” “Eye of the Hurricane,” and “Ready or Not”). They have gotten a bit more heavier since their 1987 demo, but still are not going in the groove metal direction they started with 1992’s Experience the Power. They started in 1985, and were still recording in at least 2017, so this is probably one of the longest running bands in the underground.
