One Less Reason

When the Rock Of Norway staff was doing research info for the recently released CD compilation ‘Rock Of Norway Presents Melodic Hard Rock and AOR, Volume 2 – rare singles’, they stumbled upon a full page article from the paper published in 1993. Former members of the bands Frenzy, Seventh Seal and Eternity had formed a new group called FREAKSHOW, and the band’s sound was ‘melodic heavy rock similar to that of the band Europe’, journalist Hege Baukstø reckoned. With his curiosity tickled and a sudden Freakshow-sized hole in the Rock Of Norway extensive music collection, they set out to find out the professionally recorded 9-song demo FREAKSHOW released on cassette, which was available for purchase in their city Kristiansand local record stores. Now these recordings are being released “A Reason Worth Dying For – The 1993 Demo Session“, restored / remastered with a very good sound quality.
