I also get some Spectral Incursion and Voivod vibes while staring at it...

Really?!? John, I hope that feeling does not deceives you. In that case it would be really great to track it down.

Well, i really don't know. The metalpage review mentions bands like Metal Church and Hammerwitch (the whole review is in German, i don't know what it says) who, soundwise at least, are quite far from Voivod/Spectral Incursion, but you can't be 100% sure if you don't hear it yourself. Sometimes reviews can be very misleading. Anyway, that EP is very rare. I don't remember seeing it on any sale-lists or ebay. And of course i'm clueless about its current price-tag.

AM says it's a very powerful and furious one. Metal Church comparison because the singer reminds him of David Wayne. Powerful and raw voice which fits the music. The scarcity and underrated-ness of this 7inch makes him sad. And that cover should NOT repel us from buying it. Hmmm...

I like the INTRÜDER a lot! I think the comparsions with Metal Church or Hammerwitch or Heathens Rage are not too far off, although INTRÜDER is maybe a bit more straight forward if I remember correctly, but its a long time since I listened to it. There is no VOIVOID or SPECTRAL INCURSIONS madness on it though, only slight similarity is really the weird cover

It has only 2 tracks, but its a 12" not a 7".

It took me years to find my personal copy, and I only had one extra copy for sale in all those years, and not seen it offered in a long time now. Surely expensive when it turns up.

Thanks for the info Roman. May i ask how much did you pay for it or am i becoming too indiscreet?

I can tell you I sold the extra copy for 125 Euro, and it was gone instantly. 2 years ago, that was, no other copy seen since.

Thanks again. Respectable and quite indicative price...

Alan Dubin (O.L.D./Khanate) said he used to have the blue woman off the eponymous Torch LP painted on the back of his leather jacket.

@ anthares

Cover is real killer. I love surreality. Sadly the music isn't on its level. It could adorn non-Metal album too, I suppose.

No one ever mentioned 'OMEN - BATTLE CRY' artwork! Truly horrible!

I think the same 5 year-old that coloured in the Artillery-Terror Squad album cover also did this one!?

The STARS ON THRASH comp LP cover was pretty awful.
