A US power metal group that only seems to have released this demo during their existence.

EDIT: Now I have made some more research, and edited their entry on Metal Archives, and it turns out that Uniform Choice started as a hardcore punk band in 1982. They released 2 demos and 3 albums before splitting up around 1990. In 1992 drummer Pat Longrie reformed the band with new members and a new metal sound, and they recorded this demo and another before changing name to Sol Ignition and music style in 1994.

Thank you my friend. I will listen to those two demos very carefully. I hope they ain't bearing the pantera scar that lots of those early 90's prog power bands did and they sank their talent in that awful noise. Long Live Prog Power!

Thanks, I like that Rainmaker demo so will dig this too probably.
Yes, this is far and away from the band's hardcore sound (when they were raging harder than MINOR THREAT with the straightedge message).
