For:Fans of classic heavy metal, collectors of rare/underground albums, listeners interested in the origins of epic metal

 This album, a relic for the few and nothingness for many, is a record of impressive historical importance: epic metal was born here, from these three Swedes who managed to create an absolutely original proposal starting in 1978 and even before from their formation as a stable group.
