No cover available, this shown here is made by sanctum.

A bit of "His Story": sanctum was on Holiday in Oslo, when he was approached by someone, who ask: "Do you like Metal? Then you might like this:" and gave him a tape. "Well, I'm not into death-metal" "No,no, some people compare us with Fates Warning" and went away. Well unknown stranger, heartfelt thanks for this gift of genius, too bad there wasn't even a contact-adress on the tape, I would 've ordered my own copy. This demo is without doubt among absolut best Progressive Metal Demos of all times. I prefer it even to the later CD "Entrance", because it has the warmer, more organic sound!

Tom Erik Erikson - Bass
Per Bertrand Aanonsen - Drums
Ole P. Fredriksen - Guitars
Jan Schulze - Guitars
Øyvind Hægeland - Vocals (later Spiral Architect, Scariot and others)

Wow! I have to download this!

I have downloaded "Entrance" before and liked it very much, so I bought the CD while living in Japan last year (I found a great heavy metal CD store in Tokyo which unfortunately closed down late last year).

Long time no see, Boring Oldfart. I haven't found much new stuff. Well, I've bought all of Event's CD's on Ebay after listening to them on Youtube. Hopefully they'll arrive soon. I think I'll rip them and post them here when I have time.

I have a digital rip of 'Entrance' and would love to upload it. Amazon is the only place where you can buy the album, and it's only available in mp3 format. I somehow doubt that the band receives any of the proceeds, but that may be beside the point. So my question is, would I get in trouble and lose points for uploading it?

I believe in your words, however the album was originally released on CD (in 1995):

I guess it's available in MP3 format just because the CD is o.o.p. since long, long time...
About your question, just drop a PM to Strappado (the admin. of this forum) and ask it to him directly
