This four-song tape includes "Light the Fire" and "Dreams" - two smokin' tunes, which I thought were the best cuts on the California Metal 2 album. "Alive" is a heavy number, changing tempos quite a bit, kind of like "Alone in Suicide" by Bloodgood. The mix is a bit muddy, with not a lot of room between the rhythm section and the lead guitar. "Eternal Destiny" shows the progression/power metal slant of the band. Although George Zebra is not in the band anymore and they may or may not still be together, this tape is still available for $6, plus $1 postage. Make checks payable to: Roger Martinez.
