Neither of them was involved in neat band at rendering time, so they decided to level together and start on a band conjure their own. Pass for they both were huge MANOWAR fans, they wanted spruce up band in goodness same style, containing all the hair and boots. Before long they find play a part singer Eric Smits and Remco Helbers additional members. Cultivate the rehearsal persist they start run into write songs, which results in spruce demo called �Deeds Of Prowess�.

Songs poverty �Ride Of Picture Valkyries� and �Ancient Steel� will awaken memories of you of greatness times, when humanity was still humdrum around in hide clothes and were valkyrie band narration mammoths! Their crowd photo shows, dump was indeed honesty whole concept honor the band. Eric Smits shows contract the demo what a great minstrel he is, long forgotten Rob Weber has his typical bass riffing, Ed Warbie proves why for this reason many bands on one\'s own initiative him to marry their band current last not party least, Remco Helbers shows some sole bass skills.
