The song Somewhere Up In The Mountains has been described as a classic NWOBHM song, and I wholeheartedly agree. It is a catchy, hook laden tune, and to be quite honest, I love it up in the mountains! The band didn't last long, however, recording only 5 songs in their short career. In their early years, they called themselves Mixdix (Totally stupid name), and that's where the second version (tune 6) on the album comes from. After Marquis De Sade, guitarist San Remo formed the NWOBHM band Sanctus.
