NECROMANDUS - 'STAGGER LEE' Live at The Station Hotel 1972

Bill Branch sounds like the vocalist from 'Mythology', (Iommi/Ward).

regardless of what ones opinion is of cannibis, i play necromandus EVERY time i smoke up. necromandus , pentagram and dust . their music makes enjoying a spliff that much more pleasureable(when i can afford the stuff)ALSO - check out hammerhead !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i met frank on a building site in barrow in furness where he was a painter, he used to tell me all about his music career, didnt belive him a 1st but he told me to look him up and there he is,... top bloke!

Amazing! Truly amazing! I met Frank Hall back in 2002 in London when I was playing with my Ozzy Tribute Band. Meeting him was like meeting some part of Sabbath's or Ozzy's history!

Cheers!

Brilliant memories! I had the vinyl Lp on order for months, then found out they had split up. Talk about gutted!

I saw them at the Kendal Pop Pestival in 1973. I still have my tinny portable cassette recording of it. Pretty muffled but i dont care! |I can still see it now.......

think it was 1970 i first saw them play together at banklands they where surport for black sabbath on the same stage the weight where on the stage at the other end of the hall. think they went by the name of hotspring water then a fantastic night and i had many more watching them over there short time together all very talented but baz was the star

Love this band! I would rather have heard the Orexis of Death LP in a live setting, quality nothwithstanding, than the sterile mix that Tony Iommi gave it. The fret work on Curly Sea Slug sends shivers down my spine. Is this whole show available?

[alanex017]

by the way, I forgot to mention that at that time the lads were not yet called necromandus (this was a stupid name thought up by someone who thought laughing at death was clever) they were still good old "heavy hand" I have the booking receips to prove it.  rock on

[toecutterr6]

Do any recordings exist under that, (Heavy Hand), moniker?

[alanex017]

I was there that night using the alias "rockin al", bloody good band leaving lots of good memories

Great to hear the band again. I used to roadie for them in Birmingham with my old blue transit in the early 70s. Rod was the bands own roadie.

Brilliant band. It's a shame they never made the big time, they deserved to.
