    Three intriguing tunes constitute this 1990 demo from Qodesh, a three-piece progressive rock (sans keyboards) act from Indiana. Especially interesting are the very articulate guitar parts--seemingly influenced by David Zaffiro and maybe Darrell Mansfield's guitarist, Eric Turner. Stylistically the music falls between Queensryche's non-aggressive end and 70's blues-rock, but very creative. Only the second song has vocals ("justified by Jesus' blood," etc...), handled by artsy After The Fall vocalist Barry Nicholson, who does the job, but is no Rey Parra. Mediocre production.
