APOCALYPTIC CENTURIONS


This is the first recording ever of the Apocalyptic Centurions.The band was me,Joel Rizzo,Chipmunk,Shane Carwile,and for some unknown reason,Nicholas Dunphee.Some things on here soon changed with the advent of the coming of the reign of the Apocalyptic Centurions.For one,there are some keyboards,a no-no in the greatest guitar orchestra of all time.Second,there are some vocals,next, actual formed songs,finally ,the appearance of Dunphee.When the live shows began,all this went into the trash,so we could be a fully instrumental,all guitar orchestra (with an ever-shifting line-up of guys with guitars ,eager to sign up for the cause!),and of course drums.Chipmunk and I both sing a little,mostly instrumental,with a foreshadowing of the trademark Centurions sound,of guitar noise and feedback,kinda Branca-like in parts.The only studio recording,made in the spacious living room of the old Cat Machine house.And it all began with the picture above,I saw it in Joel's room and said something like,"witness the rise of the almighty Apocalyptic Centurions!"and a new band was spawned!
