After the recent very good album by the Rick Pierce Group produced by Floyd Rose many of you asked for both musicians’ former band Q5 and their Eighties debut album, the cult classic “Steel The Light” from 1984. But Q5 also recorded a second LP, 1986’s “When The Mirror Cracks“, not so well known as their debut but perhaps musically even better, more mature in songwriting & lyrics.

Founded in the very early 80s, five-piece SYRON VANES were one of the first bands coming from Sweden inspired by the new wave of British Heavy Metal). After a tour in Germany in 1983, indie British label Ebony Records owner and producer Darryl Johnston offered the band a record deal, and in 1984 their first album ‘Bringer Of Evil’ was released. The LP sold well and Syron Vanes appeared in almost every rock magazine, hailed in the music press as the new big thing.
