Cardiac Noose
Girl Named Misery
Cardiac Noose were born out of the ashes of LOST BREED (NY Doom Rock who were on Hellhound records in the 90s and where Wino sang before the band recorded the first album). Cardiac Noose has two members (Eric "Ike" Baestlein and John "Rippers" Rapp) known for not only having had LOST BREED, but also the New York 80s Heavy/Speed Metal band BLIND LEGION (which Blood & Iron released the 7" + demos on CD a few years ago). When Lost Breed disbanded in the late 90s (with an unreleased album under their belt, soon to be released), for a short time they were known as the Vengeance Brothers and later on, they changed name to CARDIAC NOOSE and in 2007, the first album sees the light of day self-released by the band. In 2009 its time for another self released album and the band starts to be motivated to drop the self release plans and find a proper label. Since Blood & Iron and Metal Soldiers were interested in releasing the LOST BREED unreleased album on CD and the BLIND LEGION anthology on vinyl, the obvious step was to welcome the new album of Cardiac Noose "Girl Named Misery". This album is a step forward in songwriting and this time, C.N. are ready to hit the European underground for all those old fans of Lost Breed/Blind Legion but also to a new crowd who likes their Rock heavy and honest. Twelve great songs of whiskey-drenched Southern Metal with the classic Hard Rock academy of the 70s in the back.
