You gotta love a band that mentions Wombats!

Wow!  How come these guys never released a proper album?  Despite being a demo, the sound here is good, of course not Tom Scholz of Boston fame good, but nevertheless better quality than most demos.  As to that sound, it's best described as NWOBHM, Aussie style, with a hint of Black Sabbath thrown in.   Awesome Mate!  That's all I can say.  Metal For Melbourne could have been a 'hit' under other circumstances.  If you love Heavy Metal, and you love NWOBHM, you'll love Ion Drive - who it seems are still together and jamming!  PLEASE put out some more music!
