Mike Larsson - Bass
Peter Hermansson - Drums
Notes: Swedish heavy metal/hard rock band 220 Volt's first and second venture in a studio back in 1982. This was before Joakim Lundholm joined the band as vocalist so these recordings provide the chance to hear original singer Christer Åsell sing some of the best songs that ended up on their 1983 self titled debut album. But the true icing on the cake are of course the grand total of five unreleased songs (2 on the first demo and 3 on the second) like the seven minute epic "White Knight", the melodic "White Powder" and the double bass drum burner "Stand by For Action". "Sauron" and "Prisoner of War" have been removed from this upload as per Dime rules, since they are the exact same versions that were relased officially as the band's first 7 inch single in December 1982 and were later also relased on the "Lethal Illusion" compilation cd in 1997.
