The godly demo of these masters of Steel, straight from the powerful core of underground US metal. It rarely gets better than this. The faithful ones know the drill..

Minotaur’s lair

“Welcome to my lair, enter if you dare”

The legends live
Legends of old
Legends of the maze, alone so dark and cold
The labyrinth, dungeons of lore
The beast within, the minotaur
Enter the chosen by the kings declared
To meet their fate in the minotaur

Enter now the labyrinth
You are the chosen one
At the end your freedom lies, but the beast waits there within
Half man half beast the minotaur
Fear but none may tell
Axe in hand with patience waits to quench its thirst the blood

So look out beware death waits in the minotaur’s lair
Don’t look into its eyes you know the time has come to die
Hold on, be strong, time is short you don’t have long
Turn back …. or pass through the minotaur’s lair
May the mark of the gods be with you there
Seeking the light at the end of the minotaur’s lair

So look out beware you turn but he’s not there
Don’t look into its eyes you know the time has come to die
Be quick, go down, time is the enemy speed is your friend
Turn back …. or pass through the minotaur’s lair
May the mark of the gods be with you there
Seeking the light at the end of the minotaur’s lair

Enter the minotaur’s lair!


Night of the wolves
When the moon is full high in the sky
The cries call to the autumn still
The creatures gather one by one
The night is theirs to hunt and kill

Primeval children of the night
Cunningly they stalk on the moors
It’s the night of the wolves
Better stay indoors

A fog rises on the countryside
Weary traveller on a lonesome road
Eyes watching from all around
A nearby cry makes his blood run cold
He's afraid, he runs, they will overtake
It’s the night of the wolves
and there's no escape

Oh look out

Oh lonely creature of the night
Darkness is your only friend
The midnight moon shines on the hill
Your lonely cries carried on the wind

When the moon is full high in the sky
The cries call to the autumn still
The creatures gather one by one
The night is theirs to hunt and kill

Primeval children of the night
Cunningly they stalk on the moors
It’s the night of the wolves
Better stay indoors

It’s the night of the wolves
You better stay indoors
It’s the night of the wolves
You better stay indoors
It’s the night of the wolves

Oh lonely creature of the night

"Don't look into its eyes you know the time has come to die"

"Turn back if you doubt, or pass through the minotaur's lair"

"So look out, beware, you turn but he’s not there"

"Its eyes"

'Turn back while you doubt, or pass through the minotaur's lair" (yeah not 100% about this one or the previous time the line is used).

Ace! Updated most lines, I'm still having a doubt about "Turn back while you doubt, or pass through the minotaur's lair", I'm hearing it differently in each chorus..

"NIGHT OF THE WOLVES"

"The night is theirs to hunt and kill"

"Primeval children of the night"

"Cunningly they stalk the moors"

"It's the night of the wolves"

"Better stay indoors"

"It's the night of the wolves and there's no escape"

I don't really like "Minotaur's Lair" but this 2nd track is one of the best and beautiful of US demos. Can't help thinking of the beginning of 'An American Werewolf In London"

2nd track updated, you are truly a guarantee on these topics, amigo!
Minotaur's lair is beyond words for me, it is I that should have written that track, not Baron Steele haha
The mid part of Night of the wolves is wonderful, the track is not as epic as Minotaur's lair though.
Brilliant demo, I wonder how the other tracks they had sounded like.
