Andy & Zeus - Tales of Power

EGS015: Andy & Zeus - Tales of Power

Tales of Power is the first full length release of new material from Andy & Zeus. Program A is comprised of 5 shorter tunes and represents the "pop" side of the AZ spectrum. Electric guitars float on drum machine rafts in a sea of synthesizers. Program B is 1 longer, ambient piece and represents our spacier, cerebral side. This track, All Positions, was recorded live in the studio with no overdubs. All songs were recorded and mixed in our studio in Greenpoint, and mastered by Tom Vigliotta. Available on cassette with a full color sleeve designed, printed, and assembled lovingly at EGS HQ, and as a standard digital download (which is also included free if you buy a tape).
Limited Edition of 30 tapes/Unlimited digital edition.

Program A:
1. Primitive Guitars
2. Peacock Head
3. Gigbag
4. No Foolin' Mr. Howe
5. MCMLXXXI Choir

Program B:
1. All Positions

Universal Monster Series - UMS Demo (2005)

EGS013: Universal Monster Series - UMS Demo (2005)

Universal Monster Series, from Worcester, MA played grim stoney riff-metal in the vein of High on Fire/Sleep, Black Sabbath, et al. Mike Guercio (later of Healing Feeling) was the drummer, along with Jesse Tully (guitar, vocals) and "Deuce" (bass). I lived with Mike's brother Paul (LA Drugs, Life Partners) from 2001 until 2003 or 2004 or something, and he introduced us. Brains in Danger and UMS started booking a lot of shows together around New England, and me and Mike jammed informally a few times (including one time when Adam Watt was in town, sowing the seeds for the later formation of HF). Mike now plays in a progressive metal group called MAAR, and I'll releasing a limited edition cassette of their EP with some exclusive tweaks in January, so keep an eye out for that.
*special thanks to Andy Tefft for sending me the audio for this one, I lost my copy years ago*

Track Listing:
1. Flight of the Jabberwocky
2. Devil's Net
3. Bone Ride
4. Fire Eyes
