This is footage I just found of my old high school metal band playing live. It was 1994, our first show at the "On Broadway" Theater in San Francisco. I was 16 years old I think. Steve (on the right of the screen) is playing bass, and Bud (off camera) is on guitar and low vocals. Justin was on drums, and I am hiding behind my hair, playing guitar and 'singing'. This was in a pretty early stage of the band, we went through a lot of different lineups (viva Ryan, Bryan, Jenya, Leon, & Mark), and the styles got much heavier; mixing influences from doom metal like My Dying Bride, Dusk, Winter, and black metal like Mayhem, Emperor, Burzum, etc. Bud went on to join our good buddies in Exhumed, Steve is now a porn star, and I haven't heard from Justin in well over a decade. The mix and sound at these shows was always very crappy and lo fi, but we had so much fun. I think this song is called "Necromancer" .......oooh Spooky. :) Hope you enjoy
