Cardiovascular Demise
This is a conceptual/experimental video that deals with the death of the body and the mind trough its heart. When the mind finally liberates itself from its shield it confronts a world of decay around it. The mind releases the heart and the body dies rotting beautifully as it should. The mind struggles with its death and later blends into obscurity. symbols: ♠ The character representing the human dying body it's the first one to appear. ♠ The character with the fork it's the mind. ♠ The term fork is also known as dividing into branches. ♠ The web that covers the mind its what keeps the consciousness from seeing beyond. ♠ The little round thing with a gem it's actually the heart Credits ♠music by: Stoa, Necromandus and Hector Zazou I give you: Cardiovascular Demise ♠ Recorded in 2006 and edited on Windows Movie Maker in 2007

History
In 1968 two West Cumbrian bands, Jug and Heaven, broke up. Members from both bands, Barry "Baz" Dunnery (lead guitar), Dennis McCarten (bass), Frank Hall (drums), and singer Bill Branch, formed a heavy progressive blues outfit they called Hot Spring Water. They were briefly renamed Taurus before settling on Necromandus after a radio show asked their audience for name suggestions. In 1972, after extensive gigging and a failure to release a record, they caught the eye of Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi, who began managing the group.In early 1973 Necromandus, under Iommi's guidance, recorded the album Orexis of Death at London's Morgan Studio. Iommi also added some guitar to the title track. A deal was arranged with Vertigo and the band began opening for Sabbath as well as Tony Kaye's Badger. Dunnery left the band in 1973, and as a result the album was shelved by Vertigo. Necromandus continued to receive praise and support, with Ozzy Osbourne initially wanting them for his Blizzard of Ozz project.
Dunnery and Hall founded the cover band Nerves, with Dunnery leaving to join the ELO offshoot Violinski in 1976. Hall and Dunnery also played together in the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal band Hammerhead, although Dunnery's stint was very brief.
The only surviving member of Necromandus is Frank Hall, as Dennis McCarten died in 2004 and Barry Dunnery (the elder brother of Francis Dunnery) died in 2008. The date of Bill Branch's death is currently unknown, though it is known he died in the late 1980s.
Style
Hailed as "the second Sabbath" but with a prog edge, Melody Maker called Necromandus "a sort of Black Sabbath play Yes' greatest hits".

Film censor
In 1978, Hall was appointed Ireland's national film censor. During his period as censor he was known for his strict application of Irish censorship and his defence of family values. Among the films banned by him was Monty Python's Life of Brian, which he described as "offensive to Christians and to Jews as well, because it made them appear a terrible load of gobshites".

Frank Hall died in 1995 in Dublin of a heart attack. He is buried in Dardistown Cemetery in North Dublin.
