Hope this gets the attention of all who liked Hell - Human remains last year. This band and Hell didn't get the recognition they would've earned back in the 80'ies, so not everything was better back then.

Gave this a blast on my way to work this morning - what a pleasure to hear this excellent demo in such good quality! It really shows how strong the material is. Thanks very much for sharing...

This make me happy. I took this day to hear HELL and other "Dark heavy metal" bands. Maybe Dave Haliday is happy to see we looking for his early works, while he drinks a beer with the Devil.

My version of this demo had only 2 songs... Will be great to listen to "Bleed You Dry" for the first time!
Thanks a ton!

Wow!!! Race Against Time [What a great name for the band!!!] and Hell,- were both ahead of their time. At least Dave Halliday´s music lives on... RIP D.G.H.
Cheers, long live the N.W.O.B.H.M. !!!

I bought the New Electric Warriors sampler back in 1980, and RAT's track is clearly one of the best.

[Prince Hector]

The sample track haw great rhythm section, nice vocals and sharp axes!
Long live - New Wave of British Heavy - Rock 'n' Roll !!!

Thanks for this, "Bedtime" was for me one of the highlights of the "New Electric Warriors" LP.
