Thy Infernal - Satan's Wrath [Demo 1997]

Thy Infernal started in 1996, and lasted into the early 2000s playing straight up black metal.  You won't find any keyboard harmonies on this demo.  Just blast beats and Satan.

Notably, Thy Infernal had Armageddon handling the bass and vocal duties.  He has also spent time in such bands as Engorged, Lord Gore, Warhate and is currently in Ritual Necromancy.

All four of these tracks would later be re-recorded for the Satan's Wrath full length in 1999 on Moribund Records, but here they are in their original glory.

The Drapes - All We Could Afford 7" [1996]

The Drapes were a skate punk band from Gresham.  I recall seeing them quite a bit in the mid 90s, but I was unaware that they were still active as late as 2003 when they put out a full length on Orange Recordings.  I'm going to dig further back today by presenting their "All We Could Afford!" 7 inch from 1996 on Over The Counter Records out of Wyoming.

Demise - Devious Deception 7" [1992]

This 7" from Demise is the follow up to their Inevitable Exit demo from 1990.  Devious Deception came out on Listenable Records from France in 1992.  Demise were in on the ground floor, being Listenable's second release, but the label is still alive and kicking with releases from the likes of Incantation, Aborted, Exhumed and many more.

For this release, Demise re-recorded two tracks from the Inevitable Exit demo, and one from the Endless Torment demo.  Although the layout lists side 2 as containing the song, "Abnormal Deformity", it's really supposed to be "Abnormal Reality".

As a bonus, Rick hooked me up with a couple original ads for the 7", two band photo outtakes and a review of the Inevitable Exit demo from the Thrashing Rage Fanzine out of France.  All of which can be seen below.

 

Bad Habbit - Overdose [demo 1989]

Bad Habbit (the intentional misspelling supposedly stood for Beers and Buds) popped up out of the Parkrose area, and this demo, "Overdose", from 1989 presents five tracks of thrash metal that also have some elements of traditional heavy metal.  One of the things I find most interesting about this demo is that it was recorded in the KGON studios, and was cleverly produced by someone named Buck Futts.

I'm not sure if all copies had this issue, but the labels on my tape were reversed.  Side 1 label was on side 2 and vice versa.  The labels also contained a nice statement of caution that the recording contains the word "fuck".

The inlay mentions that people should be on the lookout for an upcoming Bad Habbit LP titled "Just Say Yes".  I spent some time trying to track down contact info on the internet for the band members, but came up empty in my quest to find out what happened with that planned LP.  Did the band break up before it could come to fruition, or did it get recorded prior to a break up and there's a reel just collecting dust somewhere?

I'm not sure if any of these guys are still playing music today, but Bill Brewer went on to play in Arachnid, and Marq Lawler spent some time in Anger Management.

Fatal Erection - Castrated By Love 7" [1994]

Thursday marked seven years since the passing of Pig Champion, and in honor of his ability to shred, here's a release that seems to be lesser known within his rather large discography.

When Poison Idea disbanded in 1993, a new project popped up in 1994 under the name Fatal Erection.  The band featured most of the final Poison Idea lineup, including Pig Champion, Mondo and Thee Slayer Hippie, but vocal duties were handled by John Lyons of E-13.  The only drawback to this 7" is that there are only two songs, but they're incredibly good and focus on the shenanigans of Lorena Bobbit.  I'm unsure of if Fatal Erection ever played live, but this "Castrated By Love" is a great testament to a band that should have done more.

Of course, Erection Fatale was really just Fatal Erection Records messing with their moniker for this release.  The download link above also contains full scans of the entire 7" layout and the comic book that was included with the record.
