CD Re-Release with 4 bonus tracks consisting of a demo from 87. INNER SANCTUM most likely will be remembered as the band where DREAM THEATREs Mike Portnoy began his skinwhipping career. Guitars like a rusty sawblade to your vertebrae and riffing that grabs you by the neck and forces you to bang your fucking eyeballs out - in each and every of the 12 songs! The vocal style of Mick Pendergast, menacing voice comes off as a more restrained young James Hetfield and blends perfectly with their Rock-hard Riff Meta'. On powerful-on-the-gigahertz-scale METAL pieces like Vicious Cycles, 12 a.m. and the incredible The Jester they almost come close to BROCAS HELM-godliness!
