THE ICEMEN "buried alive" 7"

I know, I said I was going to go on a spree of European bands but I changed my mind. You see it's my blog, my rules... twats. One of the main reason was that I made a list of Euro bands to feature and had at least 30 band names. So I figured I would just litter them in now and then. I did however get off my ass and made a road trip to radio shack to pick up some new RCA cables that are long enough to reach my computer from my stereo. Yup, I'm ripping vinyl again so expect some gems. I easily pulled out 75 different 7"s for the first string of rippage. Here's a quick one for ya, let me know how you feel about the quality as I feel like I'm starting to get a good balance.

If you've been reading this blog since it's inception you'll remember the feature I did on THE ICEMEN. Man did that get a lot of downloads! Well by request here's their 2 songs from their 7" on Twilite Records entitled "Buried Alive". I personally feel that these songs just don't add up to the "R.I.P." ep but they are still decent. For some reason they just aren't as memorable, but that doesn't mean they aren't good. Check them out and you decide. My 7" doesn't have a lyric sheet, does anyone know if it came with one? There really isn't much info available on this band. Little mishap: on the back of the 7" the Track listing for Side A & B are flipped as to what they are on the record. Woops! The copyright looks like it says 1991 & 1995 so I'm guessing these are from '91 originally.


1. "Fire N' Ice"
2. "Buried Alive"

Previous post update: Josh Woods (guitarists of Initial Reaction) also checked out Coregasm and posted in the blog about his band and what he's up to these days. You can read his response here. I'm glad that they got the chance to see people still appreciate music they made many moons ago.

Your instintcts serve you well. Allow me to clear this up for you.

This was Carl Griffin's attempt at continuing The Icemen on his own after being released from the original band. It's him singing with out the original members (Marco, Noah, Mackie).

How do I know this you may ask? Because I founded The Icemen, wrote all the music, Lyrics, Artwork, etc. Unfortunately the only recordings we ever released was the R.I.P. EP.

Sincerely,

MARCO
