The following songs were recorded: "I Was Made to Be With You", "Call Me Up", "Woman", "I Hear the Angels Singing", "Ballade of Glory", and "Rock Your Body Down".

During the production of the demo, drummer Bodo Schopf (ex-Michael Schenker Group) recorded some drum-parts.

In 1986, when Bruno and Oscar Di Blasio, together with Deris (who had just finished military service), met Italian bass player Daniel De Niro, Kymera[3] was born.

The following songs were recorded: "Hello U.S.A.", "Hot Looking Romeo", "Send Me a Letter", and rearranged versions of "I Was Made to Be with You", "Call Me Up", and "Woman".

Soon, the band went to a studio in Mainz to record "Shadows Are Falling", "Lonely Would Be Loving You", and a new version of "Ballade of Glory", and played many live dates in Germany until the end of 1986.

In the beginning of 1987, Deris and Kosta Zafiriou left Kymera to form the band Pink Cream 69.

Deris was hired for the recording sessions for No Mercy, a band-project based in Appenweier/Offenburg in South Germany, founded by three locals: Bobby Benz (bass), Rüdiger Föll (drums), and Uwe Ulm (lead guitar).

Pink Cream toured in Europe, America and Japan, and recorded three albums with Deris on vocal duties.

After the supporting tour for The Dark Ride, Helloween fired Roland Grapow and Uli Kusch.
