Here is an unknown band/tape ripped & uploaded by mevistox5.
Only info known about this group is the release year and the titles of the 6 first tracks. Song 7 are untitled + cutted. A guess is that it could be the swedish RAPID FIRE with an 11-track tape listed at M-A (also released in '83). But could also be an unknown band not yet listed at M-A. If someone have any info please let us know!
UPDATE #1: This is RAPID FIRE (SWE) - Demo 1983. Confirmed by Robert Plante & tygerhead.
UPDATE #2: A full version of track 7 "Time to Begin" added to the archive. Thanks once again to master mevistox5!
UPDATE #3: Seems like this and the '83 demo of VENGEANCE (SWE) are actually the same to judge from the tracklist, same versions of the songs and year of the release. VENGEANCE seem to actually be RAPID FIRE.
1. Gates of Hell
2. Black Way
3. You Gonna Lose
4. Only I Can See Your Face
5. What Abration
6. Freeman
7. Time to Begin
8. MISSING (God of Evil?)
9. MISSING (Rapid Fire?)
10. MISSING (Arrow of Gold?)
11(?). MISSING?
It's likely the same band. I have an old review of the tape. The other tracks mentioned were: Time to Begin / We Are the Evil of Rock / Rapid Fire / Arrow of [?] / and possibly another unnamed track. Thanks for posting!
Thanks man for the help!
Where was that review made? do they mention any other info as the line-up or city they where from?
Are you able to scan the review? or write it down?
Don't remember what zine it was from, and it didn't give the city, but here's the full quote:
"quite enjoyable, typical Swedish hard rock/metal mix with slight touches of doom a la Witchfinder General"
If I see it again I'll scan it and take note of the zine.
Thanks Robert!
Your help and info is very appreciated.
If you find the zine don't hesitate to contact me!
Cheers

A full version of track 7 "Time to Begin" have been added to the archive!
Thanks to mevistox5 again!
Hey,this is the same band with swedish Vengeance.Some of the songs are the same.Year is also the same.
I even think VENGEANCE is RAPID FIRE. The versions sounds the same. Some of the tracktitles are also mislabeled on that demo.
There was not much info given about the VENGEANCE demo when I recieved it, and to judge from all the errors already with the tracklist I would say the VENGEANCE demo are actually the 1983 demo of RAPID FIRE.
Correct me if I am wrong.
