A straight forward thrash offering with Tom Hunting of
Exodus fame assuming the responsibilities both drums and vocals. The early-mid nineties was a rough time to
try and hit pay dirt with a thrash release, but the songs on this collection of
demos showed a lot of promise, but ultimately, never grew into anything but a
side project. "Letters of Lunacy" is an excellent little thrash
ballad, while "Rage Within" and "Fatal Sleep" show the
potential these demos had, but unfortunately, the major setback is the guitar
work. Bobby Gustafson, who played guitar
with Overkill simply missed the mark on any riffs or solos that may have helped
these demos stand out among the crowd. All in all, definitely worth your time.
Highlights: "Letters of Lunacy", "Rage
Within", "Fatal Sleep"
Rating: 3.5
