According to Discogs, few copies was made some time later with NEW band's name Terrahsphere (but it's just a "normal" dubbed tape with handwritten tracklist):

Hi Gang...

Good to see there are a few Terrah-Heads are still out there somewhere.

To answer some of the questions.

On the Gaffin Demo it was:

Myself - Bass
Glenn - Drums
Kev - Guitar
Frank - Vox
Mark Savastano - Guitar (He was left off the new release notes by accident). I still tease Frank over that.
Mark left right after the recording (literally that night).

We then got Scott Brewster (RIP - suicide), then Steve Lavoie (Pictured 2nd from right) and finally Matt Gable (RIP - cancer). We then just stuck to being a 4-piece after that until we folded. Wish we never quit. We never really took it too serious, no MGT, no Social Media, etc. We just like to drink beer and write/rehearse/hang out... Looking back we had something and should of progressed it FWD.



In this pic its myself, Kev, Frank, Steve, Glenn.

Frank is still recording via email with "Sikarion" (Sweden I believe). Glenn still lives down the road from me here.
Kev left for North Carlina many years ago. Mark always remained a close friend (like family to me).

Hope it answered some questions for the few "fans" we might have bopping around here and there...

At age 58 I still crank metal (playing Hallows Eve now), still go to shows, etc... I happened to have a very good career at a Network Security Engineer over the last 30 years, with a family and stuff, so I never really took music too seriously. We (Glenn and I) had a more mainstream band (Wicked Peace) after Terrah, but again, mainly a hobby...

And did some guitar and vox in my bro-inlaws band for a while... (He also passed away)...
