Compilation of demo material on CD, limited to 1000 copies only
This release includes the two 4 track demos of Michigan based band Enchanter (88’s Defenders of the realm, 89’s Time gone past nevermore) as well as a previously unreleased 1990 track (Ethereal Quarter).
What you will encounter here is top quality technical epic U.S. power metal, truly progressive, with frequent tempo changes, razor sharp guitar riffs and paranoid high pitched vocals. The “Defenders of the realm” era material is the more “immediate” and heavy of the bunch, with “Time gone past nevermore” building towards a more progressive approach, which can be met at its peak in “Ethereal Quarter”. The result is even more impressive thanks to the epic themes used in the lyrics.
