"And Justice for All..." is the 2nd and last cassette tape demo by US, Arlington, Texas based doom metal act Solitude, and their last release before changing their name to Solitude Aeturnus. The demo was released in January 1988. The 5 tracks from the 31:29 minutes long demo later appeared on the "Justice for All (2000)" EP and on the "In Times of Solitude (2011)" compilation. Solitude formed in 1987 and after releasing two demos morphed into Solitude Aeturnus in 1988.

The material on the album is well written heavy doom metal tunes packed in an epic atmosphere. The listener is instantly reminded of artists like Trouble and especially Candlemass. The riffs and the beats are slow- to- mid paced, heavy, and hard edged, and the beats follow suit. Lead vocalist Kristoff Gabehart is a relatively strong vocalist and when he sings most powerful, his vocals work really well with the music. There are parts where he sings in a lower register in a singing/talking type vocal style, and those vocal parts don´t work as well. The instrumental part of the music is generally well played.

The tracks featured on the demo are all well written and memorable and considering that the tracks are demo material from 1988, the sound quality is relatively well sounding. Solitude was off to a promising start with "And Justice for All...", and while Gabehart doesn´t exactly reach the heights of his successor Robert Lowe, he isn´t a weak link here by any means. A 3.5 star (70%) rating is deserved.
