Listening to the music of this demo (recorded in 1991, being promoted now), I almost can trace influences of this American band. First, they were captured by intelligent melodic metal of Iron Maiden, then discovered Queensryche and Crimson Glory, and later Fates Warning. Yes, I could be wrong, but this path is the best way to illustrate the music of this demo, and if it doesn't mean traditional progressive metal, I don't know what this genre is then. Damien Steele belong to a so-called commercial blend of the style and are song-oriented (as an opposite to being instrumental-oriented). No weak spots, and even if it does not reveal any novelties, it's very enjoyable to recall the times when some of us discovered progressive metal. And it's also interesting how the subsequent years changed creative minds of these musicians; the band is active now and eager to present their new material.
