CRUCIATUS
fera-festiva and I were talking about her most recent post, regarding the chapter where Mad-eye Moody dies and stuff, and it got me feeling really nostalgic. Its strange, because his band were so big at the time, and did so well, even getting into the charts off the back of a John Peel reccomendation, and yet very few people remember them now. You can't buy the albums and nowhere's got any tracks to download. Annoyingly, all of my vinyl is in storage at my mum's - I haven't got a record player at my flat - so I couldn't listen to any of the really good stuff, but I did have a demo tape of Constant Vigilance, a song they re-recorded for their first album and were probably best known for. It's a pretty rare item in fact, which I thought I'd share with the faithful via the magic of a walkman and a bunch of wires.
So far, I set up a myspace for them, with the constant vigilence demo on it
Give it a listen, and remember the fallen! This is a rough version, and I'm glad they took out the weird proto-jazz noodling when they got rid of Herecephalous Grotz as the second guitarist and stripped down into a leaner, faster, power-trio configuration, but you can see moments of how cool they were.
Hail metal warriors!
