I cannot describe how fucking brilliant this is. The demo on this anthology is becoming one of my favourites of alltime. I need more of this kind...

There is at least two more Tyrant songs recorded. I have a two track demo with tracks "Haunted Dreams" and "Mirror Image".

Yes,i am aware of those tracks,Danny Gwillym had taped them for me,he was in chinatown and joined tyrant for a few months.Actually its the same songs with the ones from the tyrant demo with different lyrics and in different version.i have offered tyrant to put their live set on vinyl and cd,and i am just waiting for the answer.

That's not true. Mirror Image and Haunted Dreams aren't exactly the same songs with only different lyrics. Some riffs are the same, but not much more. I guess you can say that they are similar in the same way as Shadows of the Night (from the demo) and the single track Hold Back the Lightning. And by the way, Eyes of a Stranger exists in a different version, I believe, recorded at the same time as Haunted Dreams and Mirror Image.

Uhm, well, it is true. "Mirror Image" is the same as "Captured", only slightly more up tempo. "Haunted Dreams" is basically the same as "For You", only with a a different intro, the original chorus left out and played more up tempo.

Steelegacy wrote that the songs are the same as the ones on the demo with other lyrics, but I didn't agree. They aren't exactly the same, just that I wanted to say. I hadn't the titles and what's included and not included in my mind, so you did a much better post and correction. Sorry if I wasn't clear enough.

Maybe I need to listen to the Tyrant material again, it was quite a while since. Tyrant was absolutely one of the best NWOBHM bands ever, and their first demo is one of the best recordings I've ever heard in my life. Brilliant stuff, from the beginning to the end.

Any others who think that Eyes of a Stranger was a bad choice for the b-side on the single? If they had We've Surrendered as b-side it would probably be the best single of all time. I must say that Eyes of a Stranger is the weakest Tyrant song.

I don't agree with you, Mike.. At all. Eyes of a Stranger is one helluva song. Both sides of the single is top notch stuff, and THE best single ever done. Thanks.

i am sorry for confusion but my english are not good and there may be some misundertanding on my words.Maybe i wanted to say that the tracks Mirror ,mirror e.t.c.. are based on the originals ,you cannot deny that the songs are based on the original Tyrant tracks!.anyway,all Tyrant kills!!!!and about the b"side of the single,yes its a killer one,but all tracks from the demo leave it behind!!!The demo is one of my all time favourite demos ever,if not the best!!!!

The best 2006 release and absolutely major quality stuff in my opinion!
I have a couple of friends here in the city where I live, who are not into collecting underground records at all, who wanted me to order a copy of the vinyl for them too just after they've listened to some TYRANT songs I have on Mp3

I have rip of some tyrant cassette and it has two songs that are yet to be mentioned: "Forever" and "Look In Your Mirror". Any info about this one?
