The Great Portholio (Mike Portnoy) says:
Ok, here's the deal. You are now holding the long-lost, but legendary, ODJEDA demos. This is a goof, pseudo-hardcore, metal, rap sorta project, in the vein of S.O.D. which I was very into at the time. Me + Kevin went up to Boston to spend the weekend with some of my school friends at Berklee (specifically, Paul Falcone and James Hull, who "produced" the infamous '86 Majesty Demo). The first night there, we grabbed a case of beer, set up some drums, some amps, and a cheesy 4-track. About 2 hours later, me + Paul had "written" and recorded the music to this thing. We spent the rest of the weekend with a few more cases of beer and Kevin + James Hull joined us for the completion of these "songs". I had actually forgotten about these tapes and just came across them recently. This was only stupid, drunken fun! Enjoy!
