This is the demo from Colorado's Leviathan, who later went on to release Deepest Secrets Beneath in 1994 and a few other albums. I liked DSB, but the others didn't do much for me. Thankfully, this demo is in much the same style as DSB and is of roughly the same quality. The music is progressive/power metal, not overly technical but not overly hook-heavy either. The playing is pretty good and I find the riffs interesting and varied. Even the solos are tasteful and appropriate. I also like the singer's voice -- he's melodic without being whiny like James LaBrie can be. This is just a quality product all around. None of the five songs here are on DSB, so if you like that album, track this demo down.
