NOLA Underground Music Documentary (Down, Crowbar, Acid Bath, Soilent Green) [1996]

This is a video from 1996 that documents underground music in New Orleans. There is also a segment on the House of Shock haunted house, of which I was a part during its infancy in Jay Gracianette's backyard. It was run by Phil Anselmo & Ross Karpelman. My death-metal band Apostasy had broken up by the time this documentary was made, so we're not in it, but you will see a few of my friends' bands: Soilent Green, Down, Crowbar, etc. A lot of the live footage seen here was filmed at Zeppelin's, which was a venue owned by a pair of brothers who became good friends of mine over the years: Joey (R.I.P.) & Guy LaRocca . I saw tons of great bands there: Mercyful Fate, Immolation, Anal Cunt, At the Gates, Grief, & Pungent Stench, to name but a few. Hope you all enjoy..!

Oh, and...I am in a book! TAPE DEALER - "1984-1994: A Decade of Demos, Tape Trading and Fanzines". I was interviewed at some length by Dima Andreyuk of Tough Riffs Magazine, regarding my time as the rhythm guitarist for the New Orleans death metal band APOSTASY in the early-mid '90s. APOSTASY has a two-page spread in the book. I talk about the recording of our 'Unholy Conversion' demo, what gigs were like in New Orleans in the good old days, the underground tape-trading network, & more. Also included in this 336-page tome are interviews w/ members of Possessed, Morbid Angel, Death, Sodom, Mayhem, Suffocation, & dozens of other Godfathers of this genre. Cover art by Mark Riddick. Hardcovers are sold out. Softcovers available. Secure your copies through Seven Metal Inches Records:
