Background notes
Archive material and source history
Cat O' Nine Tails formed in London in the early 1980s as a quartet with Paul Seaton on vocals, Barry Stern on guitar, Gary Jacoby on bass, and Mark Holmes on drums. Their sound drew from heavy acts like Black Sabbath and Motörhead, building a following in the city's underground scene.
The opening track 'The Demon' was criticized by some as blasphemous, but the band's live shows were known for their intensity, and they continued to record through the decade.
They put out albums like 'The Revenge of Cat O' Nine Tails' in 1987 and 'Chapter XIII' in 1989, with songs such as 'The Long Lost Ruby' reflecting their heavy, riff-driven style. Their music stayed rooted in that uncompromising metal approach without softening its edges.
