First and only LP of this terrific power metal band from Connecticut USA. This is a vinyl rip I got ages ago burnt on CDR through a trade with a fellow metalhead. I am not aware of any official rerelease of this album so I decided to post it in lossless format.

Band Members (LP Lineup):
Bill Jennings - Vocals
John T. McCarthy - Bass
Brian Waterbury - Guitars
Billy Gleason - Guitars
Sean Kelly - Drums

Included are also the cover scans I found in this magnificent forum.
Enjoy in maximum volume and Up the Hammers to all.

Thanks for the effort to upload this gem, but unfortunately it's lossy not lossless

All those years I believed (as I was told) that I had a pure vinyl rip on this CDR!

I apologize for not checking / verifying and for the expectation I created with my post.

I think that sets a motive for me to start searching for the vinyl at last.

Akira I suppose you put it in some sort of frequencies analysis software or something? Just for my future knowledge.

No need to apologize.
Yes my friend. If the audio has cut at 16 khz it's lossy. Basically mp3 doesn't have higher frequencies.

If you have doubts "traders little helper" can check audio files and determine whether something is mpeg or wav.

I bought the CD reissue of H&H Records. I tested and unfortunatelly it is also lossy (apart from rather expensive, being sold out from the label) and the sound is worse than my posted rip. Not happy at all for this!

i checked now , and it's lossless, but it's compressed. Pretty bad vinyl rip. Shame it's turned out like this.
