October 31 - Salem's Curse скачать видео бесплатно

Performing at The Maywood in Raleigh, North Carolina on Saturday September 21, 2013.

OCTOBER 31 is a band that makes their goals reality! Forming in 1995 by King Fowley and Brian Williams, the band went through a demo period with "Voyage to Infinity" (a tape that Brian and King wrote over a few days time!) and eventually picked up a 'steady' full line-up with Jim Hunter on bass!

The band recorded the "The Fire Awaits You" debut LP as a three-piece for R.I.P Records. The outcome got major support the world over by other 'cult' metalheads who heard and saw

the conviction in the band's music and attitude from the start.

Kevin Lewis was added on as a second guitar player for the recording of "Visions of the End", a mini-cd that quickly followed up the "The Fire..." for the sake of keeping the fire burning and introducing the band as a four-piece. The 'buzz' in the underground grew even more rapidly and the band just kept on attacking with their sound and songs. "Meet Thy Maker", the second full-length record of the band surfaced in late 1999 on R.I.P Records. It was quickly licensed by Metal Blade Europe for a two cd set, which included the "Visions of the End" mini-cd as well!

The band signed a full fledged deal with Metal Blade and headed to Germany to play the much-touted Wacken Music Festival. The show was greatly received and the band had made a small dent in their task for world domination. Soon after this event, Kevin Lewis decided to 'step down' from the ranks and the band again was one guitar minded for a bit.

The band knew they needed a replacement and called on Scott Waldrop of Twisted Tower Dire to help out. This also saw the introduction of Tony Taylor (also of Twisted Tower Dire) to the band on vocals. The vocal thing had always been an 'issue' from the start. King Fowley early on was playing drums and singing on the recordings, but he and the band wanted to get a full-time 'singer' into the ranks to free King up on drums.

After a few attempts at this, including a few friends 'filling' in for sporadic gigs, it was decided that King needed to 'front' the band, as he had on many occasions already, including the Wacken Festival.

David 'Scarface' Castillo had played drums when King hadn't and his involvement with the band was becoming better and better. Sadly with Tony in the ranks, there was no 'room' for Dave as King was back on drums.

In 2002, OCTOBER 31 changed roster. Gone are the vocals of Tony Taylor and the guitar playing of Scott Waldrop (who both recorded and played on a two song 7-inch single 'Salem's Curse/'Electric Eye' with the band) and King is now back (permanently) on vocals.

As far as record labels go, the band dismissed their Metal Blade contract and have decided to stay independent and released their long overdue third full-length record 'No Survivors' on King's Battlezone Records.

The reason for so many 'delays' says King is "the ever changing line-ups presented a lot of 'wonder' in what the band was doing and who would be doing it in the near future." The band seems set that this is the line-up for the current attack and the music will do the talking for them as well.

Salem's Curse lyrics...

Their souls possessed by evil

Their lives belong to him

Millions of years have watched them reign

The streets of old Salem

The force is which they worship

Scars the town with sin

Those who serve the evil one

This night will ride with them yeah!

In the name of Lucifer, the burning one

With the powers of hell itself they have come

Tonight they are armed with evil

Evil is their call

No one can stop this dawning curse

No one can see it fall

The devil's won, the evil's come tonight!

At night they ride again, at night they ride...

In the streets they preach the devil

Bringing only death

As little children say their prayers

Before they lay to rest

They pray they'll stand the coming terror

And wake to see the sun

As unholy soldiers slay them all one by one

The devil's won, the evil's come!

The stormbringer rides into town

To bring it to the ground

Our hearts have felt their deviance

The markings of the beast

A million years awaiting

Time to rise up and be free, free, free

Rise up and be free,

Free we're all free so rise up and be free!

Their holy land is in despair

The mighty how they fall

With burning darkness in their veins

They're fighting Satan's war

Salem's curse

The devil's won, the devil's come tonight!

The stormbringer rides into town

To bring it to the ground

At night they ride again

At night they ride again
