Friends, today a real rarity, and I'm grateful to be able to quote a lot of infos here for you, thx to wiki: Fallout was a Heavy Metal band formed in 1979 based in Brooklyn/New York City. The band contained future Type O Negative members Peter Steele (then billed under his birth name, Peter Ratajczyk) on bass & vocals and Josh Silver on keyboards, as well as John Campos on guitars and Agnostic Front drummer Louie Beateaux (then billed as Lou Beato) on drums. Fallout released only one 7Inch before the band's demise in 1982, the "Rock Hard" single, released in 1981 on Silver Records and limited to 500 copies.
After three years of steady gigging, Fallout broke up. Steele & Beateaux went on to form Carnivore, and Silver and Campos formed Original Sin. After the breakup of Original Sin, Campos went on to form his own production company: Powerhouse Entertainment Group, Inc. Campos recorded, produced, and wrote songs for many Independent and major label artists, such as Bret Reilly, Surfing Moses, Jennifer Marks, Alex Skolnick, the Tito Puente band, Jimmy Delgado, Fat Joe, Mink, and more. He now runs a studio and production company out of Astoria, New York called One Mind Music.
Other known songs that were recorded at Soundscape are "Parthenophagia", "Fallout", "Under The Wheels", "Executioner", "Bleed For Me" and an assortment of instrumental 'experiments' none of which have officially been released nor bootlegged. Fallout also recorded the first version of the 'World War Three' Soundscape as an introduction to the song "Fallout". This piece includes synthesized explosions, gunfire and sirens performed by Richard Termini on the Oberheim Two Voice synthesizer and recorded to analog tape. The Soundscape includes screams and death cries performed by the band, the roadies and their girlfriends. This 'World War Three' Soundscape was recreated by Termini for the band Carnivore and is on their debut album (1985).
What are you waiting for?
