On Dem Old Tapes this week we have a demo that I have fond memories of from a really cool band that I am glad to say are still active.
Unsilence formed in 1993 and were originally from Bolton but have since spread out with members all based in the North West of England. They started out as Doom/Death before adopting a more melodic Doom style quite quickly after forming. Main man Kieron Tuohey says that he has mixed feelings over this 1st demo as he feels they rushed to record it rather than spending time developing their own sound. It was released in September 1994 and I think it's a pretty solid sounding demo that wasn't out of place amongst the wealth of bands in the UK scene that were playing in a similar vein at that time.
The band have so far got 3 demos, 2 EPs, and 2 full length albums, (3 if you count 1997's unreleased "Choirs of Memory"), under their belts and they are all damned cool slabs of Doomy goodness. The 1st 2 demos are Name Your Price on their Bandcamp page HERE and you can buy digital downloads of all their other stuff from the same link also.
