All three of these bands are kinda forgotten footnotes now, but they each had an interesting approach. SANGRE AMADO was part of the early San Francisco black metal scene that spawned bands like WEAKLING and LUDICRA. Their songs sounded like they were written and recorded in the abyss itself! BRAINBLOODVOLUME was a short-lived sludge outfit with a pedigree that includes bands like AMBER ASYLUM, ARTIMUS PYLE, LAUDANUM, NO STATIK, REINA AVEJA, and WHAT HAPPENS NEXT. I always enjoyed them live and wish they had issued a proper recording. MURDER TAKES NO HOLIDAY was like the next chapter in the heavy Oakland metal/punk sound; too bad they never released any recordings either. Things would probably be much different if these bands existed now.
