Dem Old Tapes - Part 3 - Espostoa

OK this week I have a pretty cool raw, minimalist, Doom Metal two-piece from Preston. The band name Espostoa & demo title are both named after a desert cactus! This information is straight from Metal Archives page, (which I was happy to update with this demo information).

"Espostoa" is the genus of a columnar cactus species that grows in Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia (furthermore, their demo "Calva" is named after a specific specimen, namely Espostoa calva). 

This was recorded and released in 1997, they have a 2nd demo too called Naranja who's name rings a bell, I think I have it somewhere in my collection also, so look out for a future blog from me featuring it.

Paul Gemmell - guitar, bass and vocals

Michael Mayers - drums, backing vocals on Black Phantom

Recorded 10th and 11th Feb 1997 at Stonehouse Studios, Bolton

All music written by Paul Gemmell

Cover art by Mike Brockbank

As stated in the video, this is not my music, I just think it's a shame for old demos to be forgotten forever, so if anyone does have rights to this still and does not wish it to be public, do get in touch. Or if you have any more info you think will be cool to add to this blog let me know.

My Vinyl A to Z - Part 1

So I thought I'd start going through my vinyl collection, I haven't bought any new records for years, moving on to CDs and digital as it takes up a lot less space!! I thought some people might be interested in having a look at my old records, so every Monday for quite a few weeks I'll be going through them alphabetically. 

Any questions at all? 

Any thoughts about the records I own?

High Speed Hangover Podcast - Show 248

Wow, this show is pretty short by modern standards, just 2 1/2 hours, so it's small but perfectly formed like my... erm no I won't go there I am a grown up who is sensible and not at all rude or juvenile!! So anyway exciting times ahead on this week's show, we have the usual nonsense, The Randomizer, Track 13, From Russia with Metal, Double of the Day & Poetry Corner, plus the new feature as of last week Dem Old Tapes and we got another letter sent in too!! Amaze-balls as us hip people like to say!! So spread the word, from all the far-flung corners of the galaxy to the mean streets of Paterson, New Jersey, "It's Sunday and that means High Speed Hangover podcast is go and podophiles and podomaniacs from all over the world rejoice at the awesome power of Metal and slay the unbelieving Anti-Pods with socks stuffed with pool balls and crunchy tissues from under the bed"
