Cold Speculum
Old school punk riffing, combined with humorous sex-oriented lyrics. Rock 'n' Roll, of whatever subgenre, should be FUN. That's what COLD SPECULUM represents: no heavy philosophy, no ripping leads, no giant egos... Just naughty fun...
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
This is a side project undertaken by two members of the death metal band, DEAD (USA). It gives us a chance to use some of the material we've written over the years that wasn't entirely compatible with the DEAD idiom.
Your musical influences
Old school punk.
Anything else?
Members Johnny Small and John Beaver are involved in a variety of projects in addition to this one, as well as the DEAD reunion. We're also recording songs for a project called UNAUTHORIZED REPRODUCTION, an industrial band utilizing samples in place of vocals. We are currently working with guitarist Mike Davis of NOCTURNUS on a project tentatively titled ABOMINUS, with the aim of recording an album-length CD as a kind of Techno-Garage metal band. And a HELLHAMMER tribute project is also in the works, provided that the members of HELLHAMMER aren't hostile about the idea...
