  - Apocolokyntosys (which become later "Apocolokyntosys")
  - Alone In The Dark (which become later "The Message Keeper")
  - Afterglow Forever (which become later "Running Rusty Rails")
  - Prisoners In Chains (which has been seperated later the songs: "Middleman" + "Slice Of Life")
  - Marvel Of Insanity (which become later "Screaming Loud The Sins Of The World")

  * This song has never been released.

  The second demo tape was produced in early 1996 with Giovani DeLuigi on vocals.
  The band has wrote completly new lyrics and new vocal melodies.
