Solomon Kane

Biography

Hoax band created by Richard M. Walker (Solstice, Isen Torr) and Patrick Walker (Warning, 40 Watt Sun). They recorded a one-song demo called "The Dread", using a 4-track in their drummer friend's bedsit. Said drummer played the guitar solo, explaining its poor musical quality. Purported to be recorded live at the Friendly & Trade Club in Solihull, Birmingham and released in 1983, the year the demo was actually recorded is uncertain.

The fictional biography read: Not much is known of this band, though they are infamous in the doom metal underground. They have played a handful of small gigs, but have been rather unproductive due to Titus Crowe’s alcohol addiction and visits to jail. Only one live song has been released as yet, though there is said to be new material in the works. A cryptic band that certainly does not mind it.
