Thanks Witcher. I missed that other single somehow. It sounds like Bring Me The Horizon which isn't a good sign. Its hard to tell what the album sounds like overall based on the samples in my opinion.

Here are a list of obscure metal bands from Colorado Springs, Colorado, US from the late '80s/early '90s that someone from the band Havok (not the 2000s band, but the one active from '88-'92) recently told me about. Trying to find out who played in the bands and whether or not anything was released.

Added. - Psychonaut


Needs research. - The Unknown
- logo looks awesome. Played with Anathema, Havok (late '80s/early '90s)

Needs research. - Sadistic Intent (Colorado Springs)
- played a show with Havok and Psychonaut in Colorado Springs, June 1990

Needs research. - Nicodemus
- known band member: Sean Tafoya (was also in Mystic Synn, Bonefarm, Powerslave 2000 (Iron Maiden tribute band)). Played a gig with Sinister Creed, Animosity, Sleepy Hollow, Havok, Jokerz Wyld late '80s/early '90s

Needs research. - Anxiety
- have logo, played a gig with Havok, Salem Spade, Jokerz Wyld in 1989

Needs research. - Alpheratz
Location: Morelia, Mexico
Genre: Symphonic Black Metal/Ambient

The band previously released an ambient album but now they have a new album that is available on CD. https://www.facebook.com/infinito.enven ... =3&theater
However, there are no digital samples from the album. So the samples from the new album in form of download or streaming are needed for evaluation in the appeals thread.

Not a metal band. - Stahlbad Neukölln

There are some samples at YouTube. Not very promising, I think:
https://www.youtube.com/user/StahlbadNeukoelln/videos

Thanks, BlackFlag - not metal, so will mark it off the list.

Sent a Facebook message to Dean Bollinger (Silent Reign) yesterday.

Repost of 2 links that have long lists of obscure bands (mostly metal, some hard rock)/unverified releases that likely exist. Several are on the site already, but a lot aren't.

Needs research. - Fair Warning
Location: Germany (not to be confused with a '90s Hanover band with the same name)

Discography: "True Lovers" 7" (1987) - listed on Discogs as 'hard rock' and based on the album name that's what I'd assume, but a description at the Corroseum described their only 2 recorded songs: one a midpaced metallic song with a slightly epic touch, and the other "delivering the full power," fastpaced with melodic NWOBHM touch, comparable to Virtue.
Michael Schmitt is currently playing in the thrash metal band Justice, and was briefly in Paradox. Hannes was also in Justice for a short time in the early/mid '90s.

Needs research. - Abomination
Genre: Thrash/Speed Metal
Location: England, UK
Band members: unknown
Discography: Demo 1988 (6 songs)
- Had added this band fairly recently based on a review in The Book of Armageddon #4 'zine, but got to thinking that the description of it is very similar to that of the US band's 1988 6-song demo, which was being reviewed in a lot of zines at the time. Have noticed other errors in this particular publication, and there isn't enough information to back up that this is for certain a different band than the one from Chicago - too likely that it could have been a misprint in location, so am adding it here. Described as above-average thrash relying somewhat on speed, with drumming that stands out.

Needs research. - Mechanix
