This Demo makes me want to adorn my Silverest of shiny metal suits of Armour, parade around on a cloud and scream ‘Release the Kraken’ at the top of my voice!… perhaps a little unnecessary but this really is a superb first effort from our good Brighton friends. Sea Bastard contains 3 ex members of ‘Funeral Hag’ and the guitarist from ‘Jovian’ both of which were Brighton bands that were around long enough to get themselves a good little following around the South East and beyond. But both bands split almost around the same time this summer which was met with a lot of disappointment but ultimately has led to us having this fine new line-up.

MY GOD this is some heavy stuff too, much more than their previous guises and although this was recorded live the Guitar and Bass on all tracks are thunderous and sound much better than some of the well produced stuff I have heard of late from other bands. I first heard about this band forming at the end of August so to have something this well formed so quickly goes to show just how good these guys really are, I suggest to all that you get this NOW as they are very kindly giving the download away for free. Then you can get yourselves ready for our next show on January 14th where these guys will be bringing their underwater delights to the Windmill stage!
