Void - Unreleased LP



VOID's "Potions for Bad Dreams" Un-released lp.
When I first heard this I thought it was horrible...I still think it's pretty bad.
This copy is rough, but I do have a pretty good copy floating around tape, so hopefully some day soon I'll rip it to MP3, until then here's what I have. If you're a fan it's good for one listen.

Some comments about the Record.
From Wiki....
By 1983, Void were incorporating more metal influences into their sound, drawing a crowd that became increasingly violent and their shows became even more chaotic. In the summer of 1983 they recorded an as yet unreleased album for (then) Detroit based Touch and Go Records. According to Touch and Go, they still periodically attempt to get permission to release the album, but to this day that permission is denied by Dupree.

From Kill from the Heart....
"Beautiful Yet Dangerous"...?! This is bad rock/metal, not unlike the second DYS record. It's mid-tempo and the band tries to cram in too many rockin' guitar riffs that just don't work. Although you can still kind of tell it's Void (and two of the songs, "Breakaway" and "Lose My Cool", sound like they were written earlier), I can't really see why anyone would want to listen to this more than a few times... Well, I guess there's a couple Motorhead ripoffs (or maybe they're covers, I don't know) that might work if you're in the mood for that kind of thing, but then again, why not just listen to Motorhead? -CHRIS

Track list:
1. Bloodlust
2. Next Time 3. Breakaway 4. Red Death 5. The Difference 6. Beautiful Yet Dangerous 7. Win or Lose 8. Spiral Staircase 9. Start the Night 10. Lose My Cool

Excellent band, I love metal from the bottom of my heart, and this band is one of my favorites.

Pretty good stuff. Not terrible. BTW, I think it is Stalk the Night, not Stop the Night.
