The vocals still remain the best feature of this demo. I like the primitive sound, but i'm afraid there's not anything exceptional as far as the riffing and the choruses go. Cool to hear it in its entirety though. Thanks.

Been playing this amazing tape over and over again these last few days and I must say, you've really made a GRAND find here, Rob. Having listened to "The Field Of Blood" the most it has started making itchy scratch-marks on the inside of my skull as a ferociously catchy, Immortal US Metal Classic. The demo as a whole is none short of amazing. Luw the diversity of the songs. Tonight "Psalm 313" feels like the best US Metal song ever, in a few hours "Bless Me Father For I Have Sinned" might take over..

Anyways, I hope some of our resident label guys are checking this out. After MAX PLANCK and CHALICE, this begs for a proper release more than anything.

Haven't given it enough time yet, but I'll try say something soon enough. Thanks for the demo. I really love the cover art too!

Hell yes, I'd kill for a physical copy of this. Did you ever find anything about the band? Names are written on the insert, since they're local you may find them in the phone book :) That would be something, imagine their surprise some random phone call telling them how great their 24 year old totally obscure demo is, haha.

The more I listen to this, the more I love it. I've been listening to it several times at work each day. I also agree with the others that mentioned a reissue - that would definitely rule. "Psalm 313" is currently kicking my ass.

Oh yeah, I find it amusing that a Christian band would give themselves nicknames like "The Beast" and "The Prince of Darkness." It all adds to the charm, though.

This is not a Christian band. No X-ian band will have such artwork, inverted crosses all over the J-card, and "Hanging Judas" for a label...

The phone # from the J-card has been disconnected, but I was lucky and located a band member. Will keep you posted.
