Arkeyn Steel Records proudly presents:

ESPIONAGE - Heed The Warning CD - 500 handnumbered copies.

Are you ready for some San Diego Prog Metal mastery?

ESPIONAGE started in San Diego, California in late 1986 following the
breakup of the band DIAMOND LACE when Steve Brase (guitar, later
guitar & vocals) and Mike Dietz (bass) decided to move on and find new
members for an all-new band.

If you have been digging deep into the US Prog Metal underground, you
may be familiar with the band's "Heed the Warning" demo. Only 100
copies were produced back in 1989 making this item a mega rarity
through the years. The music included in this particular demo release,
is something really special: ESPIONAGE delivered a heavenly
combination of Heavy and Progressive Metal, inspired by bands like
JUDAS PRIEST and QUEENSRYCHE at the same time!

Arkeyn Steel records team, managed to track down the bassist and
founding member Mike Dietz who was very excited to work on an
ESPIONAGE reissue project, revealing lots of unreleased material: The
"Ground Zero" unreleased pre-production demo from 1990 or the
unreleased two track demo from 1987 (that showcases a more Melodic
Metal approach of the band) are just two good examples.

The complete set of the band's unreleased studio recordings plus their
"Heed the Warning" demo from 1989, have been gathered together and
made available for the first time on CD!

Everything has been remastered from Scratch by Kostas Scandalis at
Infinity Studio (Thessaloniki, Greece). Artwork has been rearranged by
Kostas Athanasoglou and the booklet contains lyrics, photos plus
in-depth liner notes by Mike Dietz himself.

ESPIONAGE was a very special band, their music stands as one of the
top offerings of the US Progressive Metal underground. Their huge
talent is highlighted by the great musicianship on each and every one
of their recordings, that are now available for a brave discovery
through this reissue. This is high class, inspired Metal for the deep
thinking and the emotional ones. Are you ready to experience it?

For fans of US Heavy Power Progressive METAL like QUEENSRYCHE, SCREAMER (Target Earth), LATENT FURY, DEAD CALM & BANSHEE!
