Artist: Cyperus
Classic US Power Metal is one of my main loves in life along with Beer, Mexican Food and anything showing Charlize Theron in revealing outfits....so when I heard this demo many moons ago it felt like it was christmas for me. Really briliant stuff as it goes that comes from the Queensryche/Fates Warning mold of US power metal with progressive touches here and there, albeit with thrashy riffs put in for good measure. Vocals are very impressive too, great range and showcase a nice display of falsetto in patches.

The jewels on here are certainly the epic opener "Judgement Day" and the more catchy "Black As Night" but the rest of the songs satisfy nicely in their own ways. Really a very impressive little USPM release and crying shame they could never put the songs from this demo and their 1988 demo "Blow It Out Your Ass" onto a full length and have more fame...
