Their second demo.

Could this be same band who released the single 'Worlds Apart / Swordplay, 1986'???

1. For Your Love
2. Balladeer
3. Out in the Cold

I think it's the same band of the 7''.

Band from Kent.

pre-Monterrez

The style of both bands is the same or very similar - a mix of melodic hard-rock and glammy melodic-metal (post-NWOBHM)

Empyre (pre-Monterrez) was from Horsham, Mid Sussex according to this article

There's also info in the demolition section of Metal Forces issues number 9 and 17 for their first demo "Foundation" and second demo "Hidden Power" of the pre-Monterrez Empyre. No mention of the songs For Your Love, Balladeer, or
Out in the Cold... so this Empyre is likely not from Horsham.
