This bootleg contains 3 rehearsal demos from '86 and '87, plus the Thy Kingdom Come studio demo. The rehearsal stuff is cool, though some of it is pretty raw. Nothing that I personally found to be unlistemable, but others may have a tough time dealing with the raw, live, and unedited quality of some of these tracks.
I grabbed this just to have the Thy Kingdom Come demo/single on CD, since it's terrific stuff. But was surprised to find that there's at least one track on here which didn't make it on to any of the full lengths to my knowledge. Entitled Re-animator's Mutilations, it appears only one one of the rehearsal demos, there's a chance that it's an early version of another song, but I don't seem to recall it sounding very familiar. There's also an unnamed track, and I can't be assed to figure out if it's on an album or not.
Other than that it's got quite a few raw MA favorites on it, and it's got Mike Browning on drums.

The Beast were a heavy metal band from NJ. Their debut EP, Power Metal, was released in 1983, though they are probably best known for their appearance on the Born to Metalize compilation in 1984. They followed that up with a 4 track demo in 1986. After that, the vocalist, Scott Ruth, went on to form Ripping Corpse. This collection is everything the band released to my knowledge.
