(4 out of 5 stars)

"The best way to describe "Apocrypha" would be Judas Priest style with better guitar. They put out three albums under Shrapnel records (who specialize in great guitar albums). 'Area 54' is the last release before their break up. The discography goes, 1987 'The Forgotten Scroll,' then 'The Eyes Of Time' in 1988, and lastly 'Area 54' in 1990. The mastery guitar is compliments of Tony Fredianelli (who recorded a solo album, 'Breakneck Speed' in 1993, and (for better or worse) joined "Third Eye Blind" in 2000. The tracklist for 'Area 54':1) Terrors Holding On To You
2) Catch 22
3) A Night In Fog
4) The Power Elite
5) Instrubation #3
6) Area 54
