Here are two cassette demos from a US metal band called Freakshow.

Songs To Stay Awake By (1988) Humans (1990)

Cover scans.

Thanks so much for both of these demos. I've heard some songs from them on youtube from a while ago. Very enjoyable horror themed heavy metal. I can imagine some comparing them to Halloween( US/MI) and Cemetery( US/MI), but I think that Freakshow has their own sound in a lot of ways.Thanks again for this.

Thanks for ripping & sharing!

Thanks a lot for these. I found the first demo to be rather bland and boring but the second one is a vast improvement. When I heard the guy say "Booooy" on that track I immediatly thought of the Tall Man from Phantasm and there you go, it's a song about that movie, so extra props to the singer for nailing it

Agreed, the only thing that's better with the first demo is the cover. The rest is a major improvement in all areas.

Playing times on these two demos are probably a bit too long, due to my tape recorder being wonky (just found out). Speed them up by around 5% to get the correct sound.
