This tape is from the collection of Steven 'Stel' R. It contains a mix of demo-material, live registrations and rehearsals. Back in the days I helped Bobs & Set of Loony Tunes recs to distribute the LP The Ice (out in '88). But the music here dates from before that.
(side A)
1st demo (87-04-20): Into The Light / N.D.S. / Damnation Game / Dark Side / Lost Cause
2nd demo (87-12-05): Rape / Immortal / Code Of Silence / Eyes Of Another 1+2 / Damnation Game / Rape (extro)
(side B)
live in M'boro (88-02-01): Eyes Of Another / Immortal / N.D.S. / Damnation Game / Dark Side / Lost Cause
rehearsal (88-01): The Last Psalm (acoustic ending)
live in Newcastle (Zoots; 87-09-15): N.D.S. / Into The Light / Code Of Silence / Damnation Game
The band - from Gateshead (near Newcastle-upon-Tyne) - consisted of Alan Hindmarch (bass), Ian Curry (drums; later 'Hellkrusher'), Grant Taylor-Kane (vocals/guitar; ex 'Hellbastard') and Sean Harrison (guitar).
My review in Tilt! #5: >>The Ice seems a funny record at first sight but the lyrics proove these guys can be serious too. The sometimes intelligent thoughts are served with a sauce of crunchy metal that'll make your heads drop off.<< On the www one can read they play "Rocking and heavy metal-punk, music between bands like 'Onslaught', 'G.B.H.' (for the vocals) or 'English Dogs', early stenchcore, stuff like 'Antisect', 'Nausea' (anachronistically) or 'Hellbastard' and proper metal bands like 'Venom' or 'Warfare'.".
review in Metallised #10
We were just a bunch of mates into the same music which thought we could manage a band...
Sean Harrison
We were four teenagers who had been into punk music and in bands on and off for a few years. 'Debauchery' formed as the the punk/metal crossover was beginning. There's a lengthy bio in Ian Glasper's book called Trapped In A Scene...
