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.

The Enlightenment stands at the threshold of the modern age. It elevated the natural sciences to the preeminent position they enjoy in modern culture. It inaugurated a skepticism toward tradition and authority that decisively shaped modern attitudes in religion, morality, and politics. And it gave birth to a vision of history that saw man, through the unfettered use of his own reason, at last escaping that state of "immaturity" to which superstition, prejudice, and dogma had condemned him. The world in which we live is, for better or worse, in large part the result of the Enlightenment.
