After i shared this to T-Mag i decided to share it also with Corro members.
I don't like it much as it sounds a sloppy mid-tempo early Metallica rip-off but the cover-art is supreme. Maybe it's useful to somebody if it's in his watchlist
( to be sure about a bidding/buying, if it shows up somewhere later again ).

I have heard this single, the early Metallica reference is correct. Rough sound with Hetfield-like vocals, nothing really special but it has its charm.

Ha! The "mega-rarity" that a certain few people tried to keep a secret finally revealed.

This one is truly a mystery to me.

Thanks a ton for the upload!

It didn't sound too bad at the beginning, but those Hetfield-moans ruined it - more so than the sloppy playing I'd say. Cheers for the up' anyways.

In a typical Avenger overreaction, no one has been trying to keep this a secret.

The problem is no one has a copy of this that rips mp3s until now. As far as I know rumblefist got it in a tape trade and made a mp3 rip from that. Seems like the owner might not have the knowledge to make rips? Not unusual.
I know of exactly 3 copies of this and I only know one of the 3 owners, and he doesn't make mp3s.

You can banish any conspiracy theories. Its just a rare record. Does it being rare have anything to do with the musical qualities? Of course not, the world doesn't always work that way.

I haven't checked rumblefist's rip, but I could rip those two tracks from the CDR I got in a trade a while back for you to compare the sound quality

Doomedplanet is right. I got it from a trade with a german old pal who has it for some years in his list. I don't have it original.

Checked it out. The vocals indeed ruin everything. The coverart is topnotch and you would expect something like Coven (mich). Thanks for the rip!!!

This has nothing to do with conspiracy theories.

A few years back a well-known dealer on these boards asking for any information on the band/album to be brought forward posted an auction link for this record being sold on ebay. A couple days later when the auction was ended early the same dealer also removed the link to the auction. When I commented asking why no reply was given...

This is of course one example. There was another similar occurrence that happened more recently. This really has nothing to do with whether or not MP3's were available, but rather that the existence of this album was attempted to be kept in the dark. No one asked for sound clips, because very few knew about the band.
