The line-up wasn’t too stable, with several guitarists and keyboard players coming and going. However, it was this line up that played on the first demo “Walk Between The Shadows”, recorded in the fall of 2001. During 2002 the demo found its’ way to a few magazines, websites and record labels. The response was very encouraging, not only from the press and labels, but also from the music fans. The three tracks from the demo were released as free downloads on the band’s website, and the traffic on the site went through the roof. A few months later a new song “On A Night Like This” was added to the site, and it became instantly the most downloaded track of them all. Curiously enough, the song was also released with Finnish lyrics and a slightly different arrangement as a Janne Hurme solo single. Although the song is clearly a melodic hard rock track, it still gained airplay especially on the smaller radio stations who tend to play more “schlager”-type of material.
