A brief history

The story begins in Bowie Maryland late seventies . I was told Kathy Lee Gifford was from there, but never mind that for now. This was 78 or 79, Prince Georges County , the seedy underbelly of what most of you know as the doom capitol- Maryland. This was ground zero,in Prince Georges , cops were brutal, and many a citezen who tried them , wound up on the wrong end of a 10 pound giant Mag-light flashlight to the cheekbone! They were famous in the state for beating and assault cases, and being sued by the average public. Basically , lower to middle class hell and if you could get outta this county and move to near by Montgomery county -you would . Anyone that follows outlaw motorcycle organizations also knows that PG county spawned The Pagans Motorcycle Club in the early sventies! These burly greese covered, bearded, gonad driven animals were no Californians. They wreaked so much drugs, theft and mayhem, and sometimes brutalized the mostly white PG county Police force. That a tacticle gang unit eventually weakened the clubs upper management enough, to disperse the bikers temporarily, to move the hard riding snorters to Marcus Hook Delaware by the end of 1979. Although they still have Chapters in Va.Md. Pa. Ny. among others today. They were spawned in my backyard, and playing in the woods as a kid meant no trespassing signs, barking dogs, abandon shacks and the like. My childhood memories were vivid, green or orange 70s corvette Stingrays reved their engines down the block, also Bradley GT kit cars. Kids older brothers rooms, had posters of Sabbath, and Zep, blacklight posters, shelves with beer can collections and empty Jack Daniels bottles, they likely finished off with some 16 year old redneck Maryland skank they met at The Capitol Center attending the Judas priest concert, hangin out by their jacked up 70s Camaro! Oh, yeah! Heavy Metal Parking lot! And I was waiting a couple years for it to be my turn , a drawled talkin' redneck junior wanna be, lust for more metal music seeds had been planted at 10 years of age. Nieghbors had a race car, up on a trailer, on their front lawn! The view from my front door. Fast forward a couple years , finally get out of fukkin' PG county, move to Montgomery County Maryland, and there you have some classier freaks, scumbags, rednecks and rockers. 12 years old, and 6th grade somethin' like that, and after lunch is break, gotta be the 83 by now? Someone brings in Sabbath vinyl- "Sabbatoge"! Holy hell, Ozzy singing at the highest higher register, evil riffs and bass blowing young minds, on the school issue blue turntable with one ten inch speaker! Life changer, Sabbath was now my band, I got everything they had out in 1983, And settled in to Gaithersburg Maryland.

Sept 9th 2013 recording is under way for the so cal. Doom Metal 3 peice . With producer and bass player Francis Roberts. Sum acoustic songs have been completed, and laying down the template now for the doom and the heavy! Sergio Carlos tracking drums to a click track.
