Had a hasty submission of this rejected, as it only shows one CD of the release in the video. In any case, this should be available from the artist directly, like all of his other output, but more conclusive proof is needed.

‘The Lane’ can be removed from the main list as the demo was posted to YouTube and it’s been added now.

You may remove Many Worlds from the main research list for I've found their songs and they sound like metallic hardcore and nu-metal.

Added. - Demon Axe (United States)

Found a list of early Kansai region (Nara, Wakayama, Kyoto, Osaka, Hyōgo, Shiga and Mie Prefectures) Death/Thrash bands, with photos of their demos. The poster used to see them live in Osaka in the late ‘80’s or thereabouts. Vietnam, Deathmask & Drastic Gunsmith are already on, but not the other three:

Added. - Z-Slaughter


Added. - The Equinox


Found a different demo for sale of the last band, so a little more info:
Added. - Gilded Gream

Just noticed The Equinox is an as yet unlisted later name of Beleth, who are already listed. Still a valid enquiry, as they have at least one release under the later name though.

Also Z:Slaughter are also known as Z-Slaughter and there a photo at vkgy here:
https://vk.gy/artists/z-slaughter/

Band line-up of The Equinox (Japan) -
Drums – Takeshi Majima (Beleth)
Vocals, Guitar – Hiro Ogawa (Beleth)
Bass – Tatsuya Kawasaki (not yet on M.A.)
Guitar – Shinichiro Okada (Shadow - M.A.-listed band)

- they also had a 1993 compilation track:
https://www.discogs.com/artist/2815997-The-Equinox-3 (logo is also at this link. They were the only band on this comp not listed on M.A. until now)

<b>Compilation appearance(s):</b>
- "In a Sense of Sin" on <i>To the Marrow ~Japanese Deathnology 撹乱~</i> (Toy's Factory, 1993, CD)

Audio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krO_TPhb4B4
- you can submit them. Nice find!

Relatively to this, only to clarify, laulu and rummut aren't projects of those musicians, but their roles, in this case, laulu means vocals and rummut, drums, in Finnish.

Thanks for clarifying that.

They also have a homepage:

Can't find proof for the tape and a couple more samples would be cool as it's kinda borderline.

Added. - Human Sacrifice


Added. - Macrocosm

These are metal, but since it's just unmarked CD-Rs with shoddy printed covers and no indication as to wider distribution, I'd hold off on adding these until we have more info about that. Psykodra has an included promo sheet that suggests that the CD was sent to a zine for a review; it's entirely possible that these were handed out to people as well, but nothing definitive.

Thanks. I added that note to where each is listed in here.

Released the EP "Sintética" on their blog in 2014. (Claims to have released it in 2013, but no proof for that)

There's also an earlier demo from 2011 for which I have a sample, but he only used MIDI instruments and it doesn't sound metal to me.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyIKGrd0XYg

He switched to real instruments later on, so the 2013 EP is likely death metal as advertized.
Just need samples from that release since the download link is dead.
