I bought a copy of the Cassle test press from Dave about 10 years ago. From what I remember he told me there were only 25 copies made.

I always assumed the 90's "re-issue" was bootleged from another test pressing copy until I read John's story. After dealing with Dave Richards, that story didn't exactly take my by surprise!

Amazing stuff! Those epic 7-minutes-of-epicness-tracks are just too short

I like very much this recording. As Ion Britton said, not exactly metal, mostly 70s hard rock but still rules.

I downloaded it a long time ago and gave it a listen but didn't like it very much. Not my cup of tea.

Received the cd yesterday. Never heard this before and I'm very surprised. This is some damn great moody metal/hard rock. Very, very recommended!!!!
Long Live The Loud !!!

Very strange band but highly recommended, it makes me think of a heavier version of RUSH. The singer has a very strange way to sing but it fits perfectly to the music !

ION BRITTON wrote:Well, yesterday I was listening again to their 'Midnight Fantasy' EP, a fantastic band which I hold in very high regard. The dark and creepy atmosphere has also an epic touch and is really unique. Although I wouldn't say that it's 100% pure metal as their music has plenty of 70s hard rock elements, it's amazing stuff, more straightforward and less offbeat than The Mezmerist of Black Hole for example. I've also read that they're working with Shadow Kingdom for a rerelease which will include unreleased material. I really need to know what's going on. Tim, are you listening?
perfect!

was a very fantastic band. I have both the shaped 7" and the Test Press copy with Hexagonal shaped black cover.

A question about the test press: The test press I have is original?
