Great news! Perhaps I will finally find out whether their song is actually called "Black Sheep", which I doubt.

I'm with P-O that the 3-song demo (bootlegged on some "NWOBHM" CD) is their standout moment. The rest is good, solid Metal but I'm not sure it's a must-buy for me. I should probably reacquaint myself with those mp3s...

Maybe you should,I don't know,maybe it's just a difference in taste,but considering the time it was released,this is quite powerful(but with a weak production),but music-wise,I believe it's one of the best that came out back then.Snowbank 101,Warriors,Greed and Deception and Kraken are simply scorchers claiming one seat in a relative hall of fame.

I've been told there are at least two different versions: a first pressing with plain cover with a circular cut-out so that you can see the actual label of the record and a later pressing with the logo / dragon printed on the cover ...

Does anybody can confirm or give further information?

Highly appreciated!

Really dig this band, their 1983 release is fantastic, balls to the wall metal. I'd love to cover one of their songs one of these days. Maybe "The Curse"!
