FOR DEMONSTRATION PURPOSES ONLY

So what do i have for you tonight then? How about a selection of demo tapes from the USA, the UK and Scandinavia? Mostly Metallic in content and primarily from the glory daze of the early 1980's. Some of the bands will be names well known to hardened Metal heads, BROCAS HELM, MANILLA ROAD, GRAND MAGUS & JAMESON RAID, for instance. Some are a bit more obscure, one shot NWOBHM bands and cult Scandinavian delights. Whether you're familiar with the bands or not, give 'em a shot, i guarantee there'll be something to set your ears & hearts aflame. Primal and naive for the most part, these are treasures to cherish.

Jameson Raid?
Fantastic!

The world has not heard the last of them from what I've seen recently :-)

They have a new website:

www.jamesonraid.net

and are planning to release some old material and possibly reform and tour again.

Cool!
