Ghost Story - Seeds of Destruction
Ghost Story hails from Atlanta. The band is comprised of Chris Baker (lead guitar), Chris Cauble (bass), Devin Denuyl (drums) and Rob Thompson (vocals/ guitar). This demo is a little dated, it was released in 1989, and their new one should be ready about now. Anyway this band is extremely talented. Chris Cauble’s bass style reminds me of Steve Harris (Iron Maiden), that is to say: he fucking rules! No shit, Seeds of Destruction is excellent. Musically this band sounds like Iron Maiden (skill), Slayer (intensity), Nuclear Assault (vocals, style) and early Metallica (vocals, conviction). This combination of sounds is very interesting. The first song, the title track, has a cool bass solo, but I think my favorite is the last track, “The Enemy Within.” This four song demo is a must-have. Like I said, the new demo will be out any second now, so ask about it too!
{I really had high hopes for this band, but they could just never get a break. After just one more demo (which if I recall correctly, was delayed for a very long time before its release, and didn’t quite live up to the extremely high standard of this one anyway), Ghost Story broke up. Chris Cauble then joined his brother (who was then in the band Catacomb - at a time when I knew of at least three active bands worldwide using that name), and formed a new band called Monster. They released one demo, and disappeared. Hopefully I’ve not heard the last of the Cauble brothers.}
