Vyper - Demo [1988]

I was just clued into Vyper very recently, and this 1988 demo tape graciously fell into my lap today.


This demo finds Vyper playing some traditional heavy metal, as elements of NWOBHM influence sound rather evident. With four tracks (one of which feels more like an interlude), I find myself wishing there were more songs or even another release from the band.

Just a year after this demo, Greg Eisenach (guitar/vocals) and Ryan Dyson (drums) were cranking out a much thrashier sound with the band, Roadkill.
