Many thanks for this one, that was some really refreshing stuff!! Now I wish there'd be a reissue, but a one can always hope lol.

Sadly we don't really have any reissue labels here in Sweden of this kind of stuff and the foreign ones doesn't seem to have so much interest in Swedish demos.

Some of the stuff was released on a compilation last year (Cult Metal Classics).

As far as I can see it's the first 2 demos and parts of the 3rd demo.

Demo 4 isn't included in the release.
