FIGHT "United and Strong" [tape]

Rehersal from december 1994 at the beginning released probably by the band itself, re-released in 2000 by Majestat Nocy Promotion (WILK 09).

From what I know there was never a version with a printed cover, only with a photocopied one.

Line-up:

It is well known that the vocals was performed by Sirkis (North, Grom, My Infinite Kingdom). The rest of the team are probably musicians from a band North playing in it around that time.
