rd label and touring with many A list metal acts. This tape was a demo they were shopping to record labels before they were signed and as such is a rare piece of this bands short lived history. The melodic and incredibly well timed musicianship yielded a rare case of melodic heavy-metal with mainstream appeal. Its really sad these guys never made it to the big time having such an incredible sound and vision. It seems their talent wasn't appreciated during a time when every nu-metal band was copying each other. The mere look of dreadlocks or any hipster clothing would drive down interest as many fans were tired of a played out style while the older metal crowd was slow to embrace this band outside of their locale. This band was different, just listen and you will hear over and over again their sound is worthy of platinum selling success. And lastly, I prefer the production on this Demo to the job done on their first release New Killer America. -Enjoy- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skrape
