Best metal band you never heard

"I was almost giddy when I found this gem... The band was trying to make a go of it back in the late '80's and early '90's, and the only reason I knew who they were was because of how they got together....



I was in the Marine Corps at the time, stationed at MCAS El Toro in Southern California, and heard all about this band that was a bunch of guys who had met while they were all in the service. When they got out of the Marines, they went the working metal band route, but apparently didn't quite make it.



Style-wise, I guess you could compare them best to a few current "progressive metal" bands like Iced Earth, Blind Guardian, or Dragonforce. My only regret is that I can't find the "Red Album", their demo tape..... I had the cassette for years, but can't seem to find it now. But give this one a listen."

"I got this cd during a search for new Metal Bands. I had never heard of any of there songs so was taking a chance. I am so glad I got this cd!!

An earlier Iced Earth feel at times, 80's metal at moments and more modern metal at others. Vocalist voice fits perfectly with the music.

I hate these girly high pitched sounding metal singers, its become a joke, well this guy has a Metal voice that is listenable without being annoying!!

Love to get the RED demo but am not sure where to look for it. I know its not out on cd so gonna have to be content with a casstte.

Not sure thou if the band is still together? Hope so loved to hear another release from them!!!
