- here is a video for their 1997 demo. According to the hand-numbering on one of the images, it's the tape's second pressing (35 copies). Tape contains 6 songs with generic titles: (track listing: Eight/ Two/ Four/ One/ Three/ Six).

The following are obscure heavy metal bands from San Martín, Buenos Aires, Argentina, found on the YouTube channel of Soledad "Sole" Ramos, ex-bassist of Krom and current bassist of Inox.

I only found this image on FB.... no other info. Therefore it was in a group of Puerto Rico metal collectors, but I have no idea if this band has any connection with Alas Negras from the Island (which, by the way apparentely released another unlisted CD that you can see on their Instagram):

Alas Negras (Texas):

Maybe there are reproductions of the tape covers of these unknown spanish thrash demos in the booklet of such compilation

I think Dead Zone was the only one of the unlisted bands that showed a j-card in the booklet. Still looking to find out if these bands had a release outside of that compilation: Mosh, Bloody Souls, Thrashylvania.

Could anyone who bought this comp. write down the band members, so someone could try to contact them to see about being added to the site? Thanks.

Nu-metal. - Over Soul

Since OverSoul is blacklisted, if someone ends up tracking down their early releases and they turn out to be metal, just post here or in the appeals for it to be removed, along with samples of the full releases.

Thrashylvania yes.... I found the cover (in bad and small quality) a couple of years ago before my hard disk crashed

Needs research. - Olmedo Cruz Band
Genre: Hard Rock/Heavy Metal (early) / Heavy Metal (later)
Status: Active
Country: Panama
Location: ?
Alternate spelling: Olmedo Cruz
Year of formation: 2013
Years active: 2013-now
Last signed label: not on label

Olmedo Cruz, guitarist of Guerrero Medieval with his solo project. While the first album is nothing special (you can listen to it on youtube), the second album and the last 4-songs CD Ep sounds more heavy metal. But I can't find a full tracklist for his second album "Caminos Lejanos": I only know there are 8 songs in total but only 4 are available for listening. Actually there aren't many other useful information on Internet as the shared audios and infos are quite scarce. The release year of the first album is confirmed, as well as for their last 4-songs Ep "Vuelve" but the second full lenght CD is a little bit doubtful: it started to appear on CD around november 2017 while the - few - uploaded songs range from 2018 to 2020. Anyway I al searching for the tracklist of the second album to complete the page

Just realized that they are on the site. I was typing the name Thrashsylvania before, the way they're listed on a couple of sites. Thanks, though. Since BlackFlag had that Mosh demo already, it seems likely it had been released - or circulated in the underground, anyway. Kennermahn, any chance you could list the band members of Mosh and Bloody Souls from that 2CD set?

Question:
What happens to all those bands that don't get added? Do they get blacklisted with a note linked to the post on this forum? If not, how do you keep track of them when they're removed from the main list?

If most of their discography has been found and they're determined not to be a metal band, they get blacklisted. Sometimes they aren't blacklisted in cases where it's decided they're simply not worth pursuing for some reason but we'd welcome a submission that contains their music / proof of metalness if someone is able to acquire it.

I got a message from Zygmunt that mentioned these Cuban bands from Baldadeath's list can be removed - have done so:
- Enemigos de la sociedad (listed as Enemies Of Society) - Formed in 1992 in Sancti Spiritus- punk rock)
- Oasis- from Alquízar played covers of Grand Funk Railroad, Toto, Deep Purple.
- Oasis- from Havana- country, pop soul
- Focos- (1991- 1993) featuring Ernesto Medina (ex Cronos) as vocalist. Grunge.
BANDA DE MAQUINAS - founded in 1998 in Havana by Edesio Alejandro (ex Union Simple, Climax). The band combined funk rock, techno and hip hop, traditional Cuban rhythms

Listed genre: Black Metal
Discography: Hail To The Diabolical Moon (1995, cassette)
Discogs: https://www.discogs.com/release/9176209 ... lical-Moon

I've actually ordered all three of these cassettes. Note that Google-fu doesn't generate a damned thing for any of them. Hoping the inlays will yield a glimmer of value. Assuming metalness is clear, this then raises the question of validity due to lack of qualifying proof of VR. I will keep you all posted on the outcome.

Needs research. - Делта Форс (a.k.a. Delta Fors)
Location: Sofia, Bulgaria
Genre: Heavy Metal
Band members: Chavdar Ganchev - vocals/guitar, Deyan Ivanov - guitar, Alexander Kostov - bass, Biser Veselinov - drums. No exact matches for any of them on the site.
There are 2 songs on YouTube, "Yumruk v stenata" and "Nostalgiya". Release info unknown.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cN8OX_2wLdU
(Baldadeath) - Делта Форс / Delta Fors: the song "Носталгия" was recorded during (or after?) autumn 1992.
The song "Юмрук в стената" was apparently recorded in 1993 and a third song, "Без изход" in 1994.

Their vocalist was a girl named Merche Martínez, at some point in Luna, Cassandra and Saday. As far as I can remember, the hardest of those bands was melodic hard rock, but that's not the point, anyway.

Thanks, BlackFlag. Do you think it would be worth keeping them on this list for research, or better to cross off in your opinion?
