He was in Predator, Fisted Sister and Valediction. He was a good Vocalist. Is he in any active band(s)?


Cheers.

I'm new to the forum and trawling back through the topics so sorry if I'm late to the party replying to dead topics.

Lar Fraser started a band (Death/Thrash) called Scourge in '99-00 which I believe initially included Brendan Roche (ex Mourning Beloveth) on bass. Philly White (Geasa) on guitar and Mark Higgins (Arcane Sun) on drums.

I was asked to replace Philly. Brendan left, Eric Fletcher joined and that line-up played live once at the TBMC in 2000.

Lar had an idea to change the band name to Amputheatre because we were going into a more brutal death metal direction. Me, Mark and Eric went out on our own then without Lar.

There is a video of the gig and numerous rehersals floating around the place somewhere.

Myself and Mark Higgins recorded an 8 track rehersal tape in Kilkeel in early '03. But nothing happened beyond that.

I met Lar when I worked in the Sound Cellar briefly one summer. He took me under his wing and introduced me to plenty of people including Mark Higgins who was a very close mate. I don't know how Lar put up with me. I was an intensely annoying little fucker who knew it all, and knew nothing haha.

Wild nights in Fontenoy St, his famous gaff. Remember being up until all hours with him and Steve Hughes the Aussie comedian, listening to Morbid Angel Formulas Fatal To The Flesh. Getting Mauri face paint (with permanent marker) done while asleep on the couch 

I've a lot of respect for that lad. True to metal. Integrity is his middle name.

Other bands I was aware of that he was in aside from whatever else has been mentioned were: Vermithrax, First Blood and a rock/metal cover band out in one of the Spanish islands. He also tried out for some big British thrash outfit (80's) which I can't remember, when he lived in London. 

Last time I caught up with him was around 2009. I'm sure he's out there doing his thing. He'd never give up playing I don't think.
