Thanks again to Göran for the rip and share of their rare 2nd demo! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!. Their 1st demo can be found here: Ballet of Desolation [Demo] (1990)
Epic Irae was:
Göran Jacobson - Vocals (recorder on 1a)
Thomas Svedlund - Guitars (except on 1d and 3), & backing vocals (horse bell on 1a)
Patrick Backlund - Bass (cymbal on 1a, acoustic guitar on 1d)
Mikael Svedlund - Drums (all guitars on 3)
Info: This the band's second demo tape was recorded and mixed by Marcus Winberg and Epic Irae on a four track porta studio during the Christmas holidays in 1990-91. It saw the music moving in a more melodic, but also heavier and more aggressive direction.. Epic Irae later changed their name to Quicksand Dream and put out a self-released album in 2000 limited to only 30 copies. It was reissued in 2010 by Planet Metal on CD and High Roller Records on vinyl limited to 500 copies, the album are still in stock!.

Ballet of Desolation represents the first properly recorded material by Epic Irae excluding a never released version of "An Angel's Cry" which had been recorded earlier in the autumn of 1989 (which was both heavier and superior to the one included on the demo).

These 3 tracks are taken from the "One Cloudy Day" demo which was released in 1991, it's also the only material I have with Epic Irae and desperatly looking for any of their demos. Please send me a mail if you have anything for share, sale or trade: strappado@live.se
The photo shows an early (nameless) incarnation of the band - it was taken in early 1989 some months before the name Epic Irae was chosen. The guitarist with the black shirt is Peter Selin - who later showed up as the bass player in Left Hand Solution. They later changed their name into Quicksand Dream and released an CD-R album in year 2000 limited to only 30 copies. High Roller Records will release it on vinyl this year - Info
