Fresh from the Hags, Ronny Devious (aka Ron Daniel Eriksen) took Matt Jordan from the Iron Maiden tribute band Barrier and James LeReau from punk group Lethal Gene and assembled a group whose influences came from Black Metal, Speed Metal, NWOBHM, and the Southern California punk scene. Singer Tony Spider (aka Tony Vargas from the band LSN) lent his screaming abilities to this three-song demo, which was recorded in 1985. Originally released only on cassette, now on CD.<br \/>\nTracks are:<br \/>\n1 \u2013 Crossbow (Music & Lyrics: Devious)<br \/>\n2 \u2013 Militia of Death (Music & Lyrics: Devious) Viking\u2019s version of this song later appeared on the \u201cDo or Die\u201d LP<br \/>\n3 \u2013 Sudden Death (Music: Devious Lyrics: Jordan)<br \/>\n* Once you hear this demo, you will immediately realize the HUGE effect that introducing Brett Eriksen into the mix of Ron, Matt, and James had. We\u2019re all frankly embarrassed by this demo, but it\u2019s part of our history so we\u2019ve made it available. We\u2019re pretty sure no one will be calling for a Tracer reunion anytime soon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>3-song demo CD from 1985<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":115,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[17],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-114","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-cds","8":"first","9":"outofstock","10":"shipping-taxable","11":"purchasable","12":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vikingthrashmetal.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/114","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vikingthrashmetal.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vikingthrashmetal.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vikingthrashmetal.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/115"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vikingthrashmetal.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=114"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vikingthrashmetal.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=114"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vikingthrashmetal.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=114"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vikingthrashmetal.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=114"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
