The Corroseum forum (new design under construction)

As far as I know there are two British bands with the name ''Scarab''.The one with the ''Poltergeist'' 7'' and the other with the ''Rock Night'' 7''.I think that one of them is from Birmingham.Does anybody know the exaxt city of origin of both bands?

If I remeber correct the "Rock Night" ones are from Birmingham.

I've got a slight impression that both bands come from the area of Birmingham or that city itself but I would like some more details from anyone well-informed NWOBHM-ist.

Someone should have 'The Bible' laying around. My own copy has been lost for almost a year now

What does it matter anyway? Both are great (Where the hell is the headbanging emoticon!@#$!??!!)

I like the poltergeist one the most, it's pure crushing metal the way I like it best

Agreed. Poltergeist should be U.Ks national anthem!

Scarab was formed in birmingham in 1980.............the single your taking about was released in 1984.......................the original members Paul britton, dave parrish and nige shaw are back together recording an album to be released on The Miskontinic Foundation leter this year.................the album will include demo's, live recordings and 6 re-recorded tracks...........including an extended Poltergeist..............

Scarab appreciates the great comments on this forum.

Welcome! Is the album really coming later this year? Miskatonic releases have the habit of taking a few years to be released.

This is one of the releases I'm most looking forward to!

We start recording in May/June I hope. The first album's going to be old stuff, live, demo's and 6 new ecordings of old tracks, inc an extended version of Poltergeist...............

The plan is to play a few shows also, but perhaps this year may be a little to soon........................

thanks for the kinds words................we need all the support we can get........

The more you post, the better your forum title will become.

I think the 'rock night' single came out 2-3 years earlier than the excellent 'Poltergeist' single, and Malc's book does have both bands being form that general area, although the entry for the 'rock night' Scarab doesn't have may details.

A release of classic Scarab material would be very cool indeed! Very cool news!
