Sea Bastard - Great Barrier Riff

So it's time for me to pimp my own shit again.  For those who don't know, Funeral Hag died out around July this year.  It was always Jon's band and he got bored of it, so that was that.  Somewhat fortunately for us, Jovian (another Brighton doom band) had split a month or two before us, which meant that the mighty Oliver Irongiant was no longer in a band.  Both Steve and I instantly thought of Oli when we decided we should find another guitarist, and thus Sea Bastard was born!

I like to think SB has the best of both worlds; the groove of Hag and the relentless slowness of Jovian, plus a little something extra!  These first 3 songs were written in about a month after starting the band and recorded live and dirty (apart from the vocals) at 284 Studios on Brighton seafront.  Be warned, this demo sounds pretty horrible.  It's meant to.

Someone made this video for YouTube if you wanna check out what we sound like.  This is our fastest and (so far) most popular song, Aqua Vitae.  It's about whiskey.
