Yes it has amazing moments. How rare is this by the way?

I paid 100 DM at a "Metal Börse" about 10, 11 years ago.

I would say it is quite rare, can't remember the last time I saw it offered anywhere.

Five years ago it wasn't that rare...nowadays one can find it for 100-150Euros...

This record rules.

The band still exists until today and they were rehearsing on the sub basement of a radio station I was working while I was living in their hometown Thessaloniki. Have even seen em live once (or twice… I do not remember), Prometheus The Man is one of their best songs.

There is a demo of them existing as well (except their two albums).

Ah and the record is really rare, have not seen it offered anywhere since 1998 where I have noticed a copy offered for 30.000 Greek drachmas / 150 euros -11 years ago- in a small record shop in Athens. I was lucky enough to track down my copy for 5 euros on a second hand record store in Thessaloniki, the record was stored together with some usual Metal records –AC/DC, Maiden etc- brought to the shop by someone who have send his entire collection of LPs.

Have also stored an in depth interview with the guitarist that gives lots of usefull details about the band. I should publish it someday.

Cool. Do you have the demo?

Got it on tape.

Need to rip and upload.

This may take time but I will return on this thread when I got the stuff ready.

Do you have their first album? I can tell it's much different in style than Mythology just by looking at the song titles. I feel a strong cock-rock vibe emanating from that one.

Forget the first album, it's nowhere near as good as "Mythology".

Not even close.

Yes, pretty crappy album.

I agree, their first album "Northcoming" is far from being a masterpiece, forget it.

I never heard the demo.

you know what they say about 'opinion'...I think "Northcoming" is a fine album too. Distinctly different sound between the 2 albums though.
