Amebix DVD Project-RISEN
I got involved with 'the Day the country died' video through Ian Glasper and Roy Wallace,who subsequently suggested a DVD of rare live footage of Amebix which i had been trying to collect over the past few Years.
This Project then changed to include Documentary interviews with Band members past and present and some other people involved with or directly influenced by the band.
The rough editing was done in Northern Ireland between myself and Roy,at which point it became apparent that the story itself was the main emphasis of the Project,and we discussed the idea of perhaps finishing it by showing that all those involved in Amebix are still creating in one way or another,and remain true to themselves.
I thought it would be good to try and get myself and stig to record a couple of old tracks to see if there was really anything still there,although spider was not able to play due to having suffered with Tinittus for some years now.I had heard that Roy Mayorga was a big fan of the band,so contacted him to see if he might be willing to come and play some songs with us,Roy was up for it so we all flew over to Belfast from the various different parts of the Globe for a long weekend of recording and video work.
We are very proud of how it came together,very solid,very true,and we look forward to sharing this Project with our friends and supporters out there.
This Site will be built gradually,as a means to show and share some of the material and update you on any news as and when it happens.Whilst things are in construction here we would advise visiting Roy Wallaces website at toxicwastebelfast.co.uk where there are photos and samples to check out.
