Dont mind the errors about the band, i've sent some correct info, so i hope it's going to be fixed pretty soon.

Bloodfart's first demo : http://users.skynet.be/bloodfart/tekst/ ... EMO-CD.htm

Despite the band's name, it's deathmetal with some technical riffing in it. (check out track 4)

I drawned their covers, so i'm 100% sure this is legal for download.

Positive feedback? Where?

It's about as bland as it gets. The "drumming" is completely horrible (what is that? a toilet + cooking pans?) and the production is beyond terrible. The vocals are okay and the guitars are bearable, but these are the most positive things about this "demo".

Please avoid it.

Those are all albums from Brian Voth's one-man project Fireaxe. He mentions in his online newsletter (at the bottom) that his music can be freely distributed to others as long as no profit is made.

Altar Of Plagues

www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=85064

Amazing post-Black Metal band from Cork, Ireland. So fucking good actually that Attilla gave them a full support slot on Mayhem's UK tour with no label or managerial support. Sounds like a mix of Ulver and Cult Of Luna.

The download is on the left hand side of their page;

http://www.myspace.com/altarofplagues

Also, they were interviewed in the most recent issue of my zine;

http://www.myspace.com/blazeinthenornsky


http://www.misantrof.net/mma.htm

Anti-profit label with some releases and "official bootleg"-type live recordings from various Norwegian bands such as Orcustus, Slavia, Lidskjalv, Amok and some early stuff by Sweedish melo-death band Dispatched.


Atrax Mantis- up and coming Irish Death Metal with their first demo below;

www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=3540263111

http://www.atraxmantis.net/

Cryptus- more Irish Death Metal. Full demo for download below;

www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=120852

http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fusea ... =441341603


Electric Red- 90's-style Alt. Metal from Belfast and their first EP;

http://www.electricredband.com/music/


Gallileous (Polish Doom Metal) and their "Unholy Grail" single;

www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=32646

http://www.gallileous.foreshadow.pl/


General Surgery from Sweden have put two demos and an EP up on their website. They should be familiar to most Goregrind fans out there;

www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=3162

http://www.generalsurgery.nu/

Gloomy Grim are a great Finnish Black Metal band with their first two demo tapes up for download;

www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=2131

http://www.gloomy-grim.info/media.htm


Everyone should know Austria's Summonig- well Protector used to be involved in an ambient project called Grabesmond and their first demo (the one he was involved in) is up for download;

www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=1285

http://www.summoning.info/Mp3.php?Url=-Grabesmond


The Naut were a Sludge band from Belfast and a good chunk of their discography can be obtained below (its not an official site but trust me its sanctioned);

www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=3540256405

http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=2de4 ... ee5a5d923d

If you like it check out War Iron and Slomatics, the two post-Naut bands. In fact, you get Slomatics' first EP in that link too.


PCYST- one of my favourite USBM bands (going on hiatus apparently) Last album "RedFalls" is below;

www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=97805

http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fusea ... =435578248


Before The Rain were mentioned earlier- Process Of Guilt are another Portuguese Doom band with shared members and two demos for download;

www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=11396

http://www.processofguilt.com/pog.htm


More great Irish Death Metal with a blackened edge this time. Demo for Download;

www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=56251

http://www.resonant-metal.com/media.html


Showered In Vomit- amusing yet completely talentless Goregrind solo-project hailing form Ireland. All his discography except for the 3way split is for download at his site below;

www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=114327

http://grindingputrefaction.blogspot.com/


Vulture Industries- Avant Garde Black Metal from Norway with 3 demost for free;

www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=36666

http://www.vulture-industries.net/


And lastly, I seriously doubt anyone will like this band but Russian Dance-Metal band (yeah, like Fear Factory meets Scooter) have put everything up for download probably because nobody buys their CDs;

Spawns of the Indus - The Essential Pakistani Metal compilation.

http://metalseinen.com/blog/archives/190

All of the songs featured on it were already free downloads and we put them together in a compilation of 4 parts. All downloads band sanctioned (or so I've been told by my friend who runs the blog with me..) Part III was made by me and part I, II and IV were made by my friend Asadullah Qureshi.

Thanks for all the links; I have plenty of new material in the library. My top recommendation would have to be Torture Division. Brutal stuff, and they have a new Christmas single out with a W.A.S.P cover I believe.

This is a (and the only) EP demo from the British industrial raw black metal group Taken By Wolves entitled Howling for War.
This demo was free to download on their official page. Their website is not in service anymore so instead, I have a upload of the album on megaupload:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=97YT5UU8

Once again, this has been a sanctioned download by the band. I uploaded it because the site is no longer up online. Plus, I talk with the members of the band here and there (also apart of Hordes of Satan) and they even told me they didn't mind me uploading the demo.


Anyway yes, this group featured members of the drone/doom metal group Hordes of Satan. It also featured members of Iron Monkey and Pitchshifter. Iscariah of Immortal (Nor)/Necrophagia fame does backing vocals on the bands demo as well. Raw stuff with simple drum machines, definitely recommended for anyone here. Four tracks total.

for future reference; this website sucks. its not metal. its not brutal. and its not cool. i think this site was made because you people were told by everyone else that your too cocky for your own good. i went to add a band, had a release and everything but you still rejected it. TWICE. because its wasnt "metal" enough ITS A FUCKING DEATH METAL BAND. your here to supposedly "help" the metal community, and all your doing is showing how ignorate you fucks are. and who the fuck makes a website called "metal-archive if your going to reject half the bands and genres in the first place?! i'm no fan of anything much other than death grind and thrash, but you idiots don't even support Grindcore. fuck you guys. fuck your shitty website. and fuck your goddamn close minded views. go ahead and delete my account. i dont give a fuck. i'm sorry i even signed up for this great big polished turd.

grow some balls.
