PARADOX - Pray To The Godz Of Wrath Less Metallica and more Epic/Power than their later albums - like a more intricate Running Wild maybe? In other words brilliant.
XANDRIL - Terminal Breath Hands down one of the greatest German demo bands ever. Powerful, original Speed Metal with fem vox.
MORGAN LE FAY - Killer Without A Face Ambitious yet somewhat sloppy Metal w/ so-so vocals. Also on "Metal Hour - Metal Tracks No. 3".
VIOLENT FORCE - Soulbursting Ravaging SpeedThrash! Hardly original, but everything is falling into place here. Different (and superior) to album version.
Tracklist side B:
MINOTAUR - Planed Head Like with most their old demos, here they show what a great, pioneering Deathrashing act they really were - unlike the poorly mixed debut LP from 2 years later. Later featured on "The Slaughter Continues" demo reissue 7" in 2002.
CROWS - Final Flight Great uptempo Heavy/Power a la Brainfever, let down by weak vocals.
WARNYNG - Revelation Raw & mean Heavy/Speed of the good ol' Teutonic tradition.
POISON - Sphinx They were more than just brutally ahead of their time - they knew how to cook up long, fairly intricate Death Metal-masterpieces as well. Later featured on the "Into The Abyss" MLP from 1993.
