Pete would have not been was he was without Josh. They are like Lennon McCartney. Then you got STEAK & BRISKET master Louie Beato and guitar genius John Campos - Together pure awesomenss

[@natedorney7032]

Still can't believe it's been eleven years since we lost Peter Thomas Ratajczyk, better known to the world by his stage nomme de guerre of Peter Steele. Playing this as I get ready to visit his tree up in prospect park this afternoon. Still miss ya, pete!!!

Lyrics: Morning breaks, the hangman wakes, hurries to the gallows Mercenary, adversary, gets orders he must follow A broken axe, his only tools, uses them with skill Practices on prideful fools, they're paying him to kill I hate you! Ice cold stare, a hungry bear, eying up his victims Sweating fear, laughing jeers, still wish that you're in prison Around your neck the noose is placed, begins to pray to God It's too late, you can't escape, the sins within your heart [Chorus] Executioner! Executioner! Words are said and you're dead, guilty with no trial And when you see a gloomy face, you walk your last mile Behind the mask, who can tell, eyes like glowing coals I look again, he's gone to hell, the hangman has no soul, ah! [Chorus] Executioner! Executioner! Executioner! Hahaha!

John Campos was and is a great guitar player.

[@sudsysutherland359]

I don’t know if anyone noticed this or not but this “Fallout” tune sounded a lot like the “Black Sabbath” song “Into the void” at times which is not shocking as Pete Steele was a “Black Sabbath” & “Beatles” fan & with all the bands that Pete Steele played with such as “Fallout” • “Carnivore” & “Type O Negative” you can most definitely hear the big influence on a lot of the songs that Peter Steele wrote in all of his imo iconic songs 🤘

[@Teraires77]

This is The Executioner. You can hear a slower version Peter did in Carnivore. Live at L'amour in Brooklyn Sept. 27 1984, search Carnivore The Executioner. Thanks for this upload!

[@rtermini]

Yes indeed it is. This is the first time Peter and the boys recorded this song. It was written by Peter and John and arranged and performed by the band 'Fallout'.

[@mistanelsin]

Holy moly! THANK YOU for this!! Pre type o has a pretty ravid fanbase and releases like this will only perpetuate the Legacy.

[@alkentarch7083]

Reading the Peter Steele Bio I felt the urge to thank you for uploading this. I remember browsing for Fallout stuff a few years ago and stumbling over this gem but it hasn't crossed my mind to say thanks up until reading your name in the book "Soul on Fire". This is great stuff but would've been forgotten if you didn't share it!

[@rtermini]

Thank you very much.

[@natedorney7032]

That book is controversial among fans. Wagner has blocked bandmates, family members and fans whenever they've taken issue with some of the material covered in it. So take it with a small mountain of salt.

[@rjc7289]

Kind of sounds like a mixture of Black Sabbath, Venom, Pentagram and Saint Vitus.

Prefer this version over Carnivore's cut honestly. Miss ya, Pete!!! (-)

[@fishdog666]

I never even knew any Fallout was on tape until I started reading the "Soul on Fire" on biography. You seem to have had a lot to do with their early recordings, Richard. Is there any more available to listen to? This and the 7 inch are all I've heard. This is by far my favorite of the 3 songs!

[@rtermini]

There are three or four more things that are out there regarding all four Fallout members that I know about for sure not including the work that Josh did with me regarding the New York Space Ensemble and then John Campos did several recordings with me in various incarnations of Termini bands. Also there is Original Sin's single that features John and Josh. Peter and Marc Piovanetti are on a bootleg that is floating around of rehearsals they were doing with me for a project that never came off called 'Cannibals' circa 1985.

[@melbrooksjew2]

+Richard Termini I never heard of that project "Cannibals"? You say it's been released? Do you know what this bootleg is called or where it can be found? I tried looking but could not find anything...

[@embassyhotel]

I haven't heard this song before,right on. Cheers from Canada.

[@rtermini]

All I have are some cassettes from the rehearsals.... Mark, Pete and me playing in Josh's studio... Sty in the Sky.... back in about 1985 I think it was...

[@melbrooksjew2]

WOW... really!? I would seriously consider uploading those. I know many people would love to hear those, myself included (even if they are rehearsals takes). Sorry for sounding forward like that, but that's cool to know that more content exists.

[@canousi]

the seven inch is a pure jewel !!!

[@nassera]

so great! I would like to hear the rest of the fallout songs. Is there a record of Pete's earlier bands (northern lights)? All those songs should be (re)published sometime in order not to get lost.

@@alexdemers6365 I would like to hear the song. Go for it!

[@nassera]

I'm wondering, are keyboards present at all in this demo? I can't hear them. The two songs from the Fallout 7" are full of them. Did Josh came later into the game and added his keyboards after Peter composed guitar and bass parts? And why does this demo does not have any keyboards? Is there a recording in the archives with them or were they not recorded?

[@rtermini]

This tune was recorded without Keyboards which was a first for Fallout. I suppose Josh might have doubled on guitar live for this one .. was the idea... Josh does play a bit of guitar and could have played the chords for this live if they wanted to not add organ and or synth to this tune... at the time this was a finished demo. They had no plans of adding keyboards. They also did Bleed for Me at this time and it did have keyboards and Also John and Josh did a Keyboard and Guitar piece, just themselves with Lou and Peter ... Josh playing orchestral parts on my Chamberlin. These were the last sessions for them. They Broke up about one month after this was recorded. The rest is history.

[@rtermini]

This is the last thing they ever recorded... Atomic Fallout Suite: John and Josh only... June 1981. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqeyknlmeMmfhpI

[@nassera]

​@@rtermini thank you, it's interesting to hear more about fallout. Let's cross fingers that in some future day more stuff comes to light. History should not be forgotten.

[@NicoleBe]

How was his voice so different from the singing voice he had later in his life? This feels like an entirely different voice, it’s higher and less throaty (?) was it him singing? It wouldn’t surprise me if he didn’t do the vocals

[@rtermini]

It is Peter for sure. Here is the story. Peter was experimenting with his voice... remember he was young and he was very creative... so it was not unusual for him to go into character voices... and he was still trying to find what he could do with his voice. Point is after Fallout he began working on THAT voice for Carnivore... it it was with Carnivore that he developed that more consistently darker tone as part of the character he gave himself as a role in Carnivore ... the survivor of an apocalyptic future war... A topic he first put into song with Batteries Not Included.... this... about 5 years BEFORE the film The Terminator... Pete wrote that about 1979.... we recorded it in 1979 and then again in 1980 with Fallout. So by the time he came to create Type O Negative... he had a lot of years of singing and trying different voices... thus... he landed on a set of voices that he liked for his role in Type O. I hope this answers your question.

[@rtermini]

Also check out Batteries Not Included with Fallout... Peter singing.... kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5muoYFrq8x2gKssi=Q7S7dNulm-P-8VLZ

[@NicoleBe]

@@rtermini that was quite interesting as I thought that his voice was naturally deep. Thanks for answering my question

[@jupitersun3941]

Peter Steele right

[@greenman7807]

I only see Pete and Josh. Who are the other two dudes? They sure dont look like Kenny, Sal or Johnny.

[@terminimedia6178]

John Campos Guitar, has been working in music his whole life, great player, composer and Louie Beato Drums.... Louie joined Pete in Carnivore after Fallout... John was with Josh in Original Sin after Fallout... of course Pete and Josh then did Type O and people do not know that Louie was nearly the drummer for that band... it almost happened that way.

[@greenman7807]

Termini Media ohhh snap! Thank you so much for that info, many of us don't know the whole story. I definitely heard of Louie Beato from some vhs recording where he and Peter are fixing a car right on the street hhaha Pete is laying under the car doing something from below. Do you by any chance know how did Sal get the job?

[@brian13451]

@@greenman7807 1989 is an interesting time period. I believe Pete said in an interview that around August 89, Sal approached Pete about starting a new group. They were jamming with Kenny and the Toximia guys, and then Josh joined. Feel free to correct any of these details guys. I know there are many people who know a lot more than me about this. Theres a Great interview with Lou where he explains some of this also by Lady Deviant, Seattle. Peace.
