"By necessity practical and by philosophy stern, these folk were not beautiful in their sins. Erring as all mortals must, they were forced by their rigid code to seek concealment above all else; so that they came to use less and less taste in what they concealed."

These are demos and rehearsals from the earliest days of Bert and John playing music together in 1983, to John's 4-track recordings at home, through the preparations for the Never Comes Silence release in 1992. All songs are from old, deteriorating cassette tapes, so the sound is hissy and the quality mostly poor.
Grant guitar, vocals
Liam bass
Chris drums
BH 049
Ian's Tape: A rehearsal tape from the archives of our first drummer, Ian. Recorded in 2002 on 4-track, shortly before our second demo. Raw versions of the same tracks as the demo, but slightly more punishing in places! - Grant
Reactor IV: A pre-album run-through. Raw rock n’ roll. Recorded May 2006. - Grant
Magnificent Octopus: One night Liam can’t make practice, so Chris and I go off on a mental metal journey as a duo. Some of the riffs that we pulled out of thin air for this jam were later used in the song ‘Eternal Frost’ on the debut album. Gets a bit crazy in places, threatening to fall apart, but we just about hold it together. - Grant
