about

It is the year 202X. In an alternate dimension which pulses between space and time, the ethereal domain containing the entities therein are shaking in chaos from unfathomable plague and eternal war. From the darkness emerges a young band of demonic warrior forces- the SPEEDEMONS, exiled from the interdimensional grounds between their realm and planet Earth through the sonic alchemy of BREAKNECK ROCK N ROLL. Unchained of the apocalypse behind them, the warriors roam Earth's streets. Their mission: to claim the underground of their home world by merging it with our own in a special parascientific ritual known as the EQUINOX. The Exiled Speedemons stop at nothing in their sacred quest to RIP & TEAR the fabric of reality and for universal assimilation/possession of the human mind & spirit by the band's selected recorded material found within this unit.

Apparently, C.L.Moore's Jirel of Joiry is one of this band's inspirations, and it sounds like it. And they have Michael Moorcock doing a bit of narration on another one of their albums. Enough for me - I bought the lot dudleybam
