Sentinel Beast- Depths of Death Demo 1985 Transfer from master cassette tape Sacramento Thrash Metal

OK, back to regularly scheduled programming.
I listened to the Sentinel Beast album while folding clothes on Sunday, thanks to Jeff who posted a link on facebook. I searched youtube for the demo that I have had since 1985 and it wasn’t there. This demo must not be as common as I thought. I can’t even remember where I got this one. I don’t recall buying it from Dimple, which was our typical demo source in the 80s.

Sentinel Beast- Helvetia Park, Sacramento Ca. 6/22/85 Master Cassette Transfer

I finally got my audio transfer setup working again. Man, that was a pain in the ass. I now know how the EMU 1212M audio card, Patchmix DSP, and Reaper work together. Also Insert/send. Anyway, this was the first concert I ever recorded. My memory is fuzzy on this show- I think we got there after Redrum played, and I asked if they had the demo for sale. They sold their last one to some guy. They introduced me to him, and that is how I met Ken Doose. Then a year or so later, Ken introduced me to Mark Martin, and the live archiving thing really took off. I guess this show was a catalyst for all of that. This was recorded on a super cheap boom box- I can’t believe this sounds so non-shitty. It’s not good, but it is listenable.
