Sacrilege B.C.- Oakland Ensemble Theater 3/7/87 xfer from 1st gen VHS tape Enhanced Thrash Metal

Here’s a cool one from Chris Eng’s VHS collection… filmed by Ron Quintana. Thanks to Chris for letting me digitize his collection, and thanks to Ron for giving the OK to post.
I have shared my opinion about this band multiple times on here. If you have not heard them, do yourself a favor and buy the Party with God album. The southern lord records’ reissue vinyl is cheap on discogs. Go get ’em!
I also need to thank Wayne Vanderkuil- I had no info on this show, except for band name and date. He found the venue and city, and was even able to correct one of the bands on the tape (hint: it’s a different Katon De Pena band). Thanks Wayne!

Phantasm- Oakland Ensemble Theater 3/7/87 xfer f/1st gen VHS tape Enhanced Thrash Metal Katon Hirax

Another request- Nathan Williams played guitar in Phantasm and he saw the photo of Chris Eng’s VHS tape (taped by Ron Quintana), ask and you shall receive… as long as it is already being prepped.. and you were in the band.
Phantasm videos from the 80s seem to pretty rare. Daniel Hague posted 1 about 5 years ago, and Ron McGovney(!) posted some songs from a backyard party in 1987. This one looks to be incomplete.
For the uninitiated, Phantasm were (discogs) “Short lived American thrash metal band from Los Angeles, California formed in 1986 by Katon W. De Pena.”.
