Sherman Williams started playing and writing music at age seven, he played through middle school. Travelled with a group, called Total Eclipse, throughout the East Coast during his high school years. He was on a mission to be a professional musician/singer/songwriter, of a band – he wanted heavy rhythms to match his huge guitar action, this is how Black Axess came about.
“I badly wanted to record the music that I helped to create with the Black Axess so paid out of pocket for the studio time.” - Sherman Williams
From that session one single, “Tonight” was released on 7” but the lost album “The Golden Seal” sat on tape almost lost to time. That was until Robert Garcia and Daniel Mathis spoke to Sherman while tracking the “Tonight” Single, and discovered the lost LP we have here, credit to them both for sorting out and hooking us up and special thanks to Daniel for saving the tapes when UPS almost lost them, which might have been the end of it!
