This demo was self released in late 1984, on handmade cassettes and likely with no cover. The audio here comes directly from a rip of one of these cassettes and has been touched up and improved by myself. Recorded just after Eizo Sakamoto joining the band, this demo is a unique insight into the early era of Anthem. For the cover I have stripped down the cover of their first album to the bare basics, and replaced the famous Anthem logo with the logo used for their appearance on the compilation "Heavy Metal Force".
00:00:00 1. Warning Action
00:03:24 2. Wild Anthem
Lead Vocals - Eizo Sakamoto
Bass, Backing Vocals - Naoto SKI Shibata
Lead Guitar - Hiroya Fukuda
Drums - Takamasa MAD Ohuchi
