Stefan Pettersson was a member of this band according to Metal-Archives, however he was not in the band when this 7" was recorded (maybe he joined later when they changed their name to FALLEN GRACE?). Jonas and Ola later joined the bands TUNDRA and MEDUZA. The music is a mix of heavy thrash and doom metal.

Tommy Andersson - Guitar, Vocals
Oskar Wiklund - Guitar
Jonas Edström - Bass (Tundra, Meduza)
Ola Grönlund - Drums (Tundra, Meduza)
