Chokehold - the demos



This Whole World Is An Addiction [demo '91]
This really seems to be the holy grail of Chokehold recordings. I've been after this thing for well 12 years, and in that time, I've only seen two copies. Recently though, I was finally able to acquire one with some money and some old Dead Unknown merch that I had sitting in my basement. This is Chokehold at their earliest, and it's a great listen 17 years later. And in case you don't know, you can simply click on any of these cover images on my blog in order to see/save them at the bigger size that I upload them at.

More Than Ever [demo '92]
Sure, these tracks appear on the Prison Of Hope cd that Conquer The World put out, but here they are straight from the demo tape source. This definitely marked a much heavier and angrier turn for Chokehold.

they had like 5 demos - all awful recordings.
i rememeber getting c'hold tapes and i couldn't even get thru half of it.
more than ever was probably thier best afford.

that split 7" they did with crisis of faith was horrible too. ugh.

i'm scared to give it another try.
