siLLy puPPy OCCULTONOMY is an odd little musical creation that emerged from Galesburg, IL. Basically the duo of Jammin' Jon Anderson (drums, vocals) and Dr. Nathalie (guitar, vocals), together they released this one DEMO EP simply called DEMO in 2015. Despite this DEMO featuring eight tracks it only barely passes the 7-minute mark.

The music here is basically typical thrashcore which is an offshoot of hardcore punk characterized by fast tempos, super short time lengths and the use of D-beat punk drumming that often add a few blastbeats along with thrashy guitar riffs. Unusual for a hardcore punk band, OCCULTONOMY tackles esoteric subject matter but the funny vocals are so unintelligible that the lyrics could be about Barbie dolls as far as i know!

This is somewhat interesting. The vocals are nothing like what you’d expect from a hardcore punk or thrashcore bands. They’re rather high pitched more like a Japanese indie pop band if anything. The music whizzes by quicker than you can imagine but the musicianship is competent and even the production is decent.

Also this has to be one of my favorite demo album covers ever! Bigfoot riding on the back of the Loch Ness Monster? Absolutely hilarious! Nothing essential about this but nothing horrible either. While it may seem this would be nowhere to be found to check out, surprisingly there is a whole Bandcamp page for this mere 7-minute demo but that’s due to the fact there is a label called Reality Is A Cult Records which features obscure anomalies such as OCCULTONOMY.
