This is a collection of home recordings that Cat Copeland has personally created over the years. Many of these tracks are songs that were initially intended to be used in some of Cat's bands and projects, but fell by the wayside. Cat has his first solo studio album currently in the making. Some of his projects include: Small Time London Thug, Los Ojos Rojos, The Moon Buggy Kids, Possum Belly Queens, and D.D. Cat. Much of Cat's music is difficult to pin down to one genre, he has had many different influences over the years, and it's time these tracks were heard. He hopes everybody enjoys these relics.

Taliesin's Shadow was created in 2006 using home made instruments and noise makers, modified guitars and cello, various effect modulators and amp rigs, and two music producing programs, the songs haven't really found a home in any genre. Most of the good bits are towards the end too; life is suffering, so suffer through the rubbish sort of deal. This project is still highly experimental, though a groove has been found, sticking with that. If you want to sing to these tunes, contact the guy at taliesincoots@yahoo.com, and Reverb Nation. Please enjoy, and leave some feedback please; as stated above, highly experimental, needs outside guidance. Also, I tend to delete the ones with the least plays to make room for new ones so download while you can I guess. 

Nos formamos en 2010, bajo la influencia de
Neurosis, Isis, Kylesa, el sludge, todo el doom y sus subgéneros, Aleister Crowley, Eliphas Levi, el ocultismo, el esoterismo,la magia y el cine expresionista.

"...there is a certain primal magic to the Black Tar Heroines sound. These guys get at rock and roll in a way that few of their peers actively touch on. Rather than go for the super polished modern rock tones of their peers, Black Tar Heroines are a group who embrace the magic of kids playing loud music. Yet behind this, there are brilliant layers of production and some tasty songwriting" - Two Guys Metal Reviews
