Description

Even today, more than 40 years after the beginning of that ’golden’ decade, new unknown recordings emerge and meticulous labels shed light on amazing forgotten material from several bands, which for numerous reasons didn’t manage to get a contract with a major label, thus, most of them were led to a dissolvement / split up. The bands and their moniker remained to obscurity, although they had recorded really good music, even if that was only in demos or independent / DIY releases. Luckily we have so many fans and labels trying to dig up material with those bands that never got their chance at major stardom. Old master-tapes founded in forgotten warehouses are getting a new life. One of those bands are Infrared from San Diego. The band plays American metal inspired of acts such as Crimson Glory, Heir Apparent, Vicious Rumors, early Fates Warning and early Queensryche. The bands name is even taken from the Queensryche tune, I Dream In Infrared. The band kept going between 1983 and 1989 and they went through several line-ups. Key members were guitarist Jason Sweeny and the great vocalist Don Duzan, whose voice sounded amazingly similar to Geoff Tate’s of Queensryche. The material on Reflections is deriving from two recordings in 1987 and 1989 and is consisted of 10 songs. Infrared changed their name in 1989 to Martial Law and recorded a three-track demo, which is also included as bonus tracks. All the material has been remastered and sounds amazing. Tha album features some inspiring songs and includes several anthems which makes Reflections a real gem of release. US metal fans and early Queensryche fans are going to adore this album.
