I spoke with the Neutrina Facebook and they said they recorded an EP but never released it. The cited reason being they thought they could re-record it better.

Thrasher from the Wisconsin list has no original material nor VR per the reply of this post.
https://www.facebook.com/profile/100063 ... arch/?q=cd

Didn't see Thrasher was in this thread. 100% cover band.

Ave Imperator never really convinced me as metal.

Alien Hand Syndrome: They used to have a full EP of stuff online streaming, but I didn't submit because these two songs you have here were the only metal ones. Most of it was proggy wanking, actually, with no vocals.

Darkest Deed is a cover band.

Here's an EP for Hungarian band Jericho. need to see about VR still.

Thanks, Miro. Band members are now listed above as well, and a note on the YouTube video says that it's a 1984 demo track. Here is a download of the 1986 songs, which so far we're unsure if were released: https://heavymetalrarities.com/forum/vi ... #gsc.tab=0

Surely there should have been a full demo.

Not to be confused with the pop/hard rock Modus from the same period.

Nevermind on Dunkelsturm's VR status, I completely missed the imgur links indicating they had one. Here's live footage of them and the youtube channel they're featured on. Think this should be enough to submit.

Cannes was founded in 1981 by Andy (bg, b.voc) and Ian (g, b.voc), soon joined by Colin (dr), closely followed in January 82 by vocalist Colin Peel. Later that year, Gordon became the new drummer. This line up continued CANNES until mid / late 85. Ian leaves Cannes. Dave appears in the band. By 86 it was all over.
The mentioned song on You Tube comes from their second demo from 1984 (maybe it will be released on an album next year)
Track list:
1. FIGHTING IT DOWN.
2. CASTLES IN THE AIR.
3.START IT NOW.

It's the same band, only someone made a typo.

Nesray apparently had a bandcamp page for their album, but it's been delisted. I got this info from a metalarea post here. I can't listen to this since i dont have an account:
https://metalarea.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=135563

Das Cabinet: Spooky posted the bandcamp and I guess no one wanted to submit? Guess I'll do it!

Deaf Blind Dumb: Isn't there enough to submit? According to Spooky and the archive it was available on jarmendo.
https://archive.org/details/jamendo-047862/05.mp3

Death Never Pain: Trying to use the webarchive to find proof of VR but it's giving me issues at the moment. The band used to be on bandzone, which I'm unaware if it offers downloads.

Defamation: Not much besides a metalarea listing.

More on Catastrophe from Russia: according to this article they appeared on cassettes. Need to translate it:
https://vk.com/wall-103063510_685?z=pho ... 063510_685

"The music of CATASTROPHY, having been heard on SNC radio, recently began to appear in additional recordings on cassettes with various cool groups and immediately gave birth to a bunch of legends around the team itself."

Yes.

A Discogs page was recently created for NuxVomica (Ohio, US) - https://www.discogs.com/release/2899393 ... hilds-Play

Spoke with the person who uploaded the May 14th album to discogs and they said they would upload it soon. Disc issues might be an obstacle as it's a CD-R.

Tapage got added to the site and can be removed.

Dunkelsturm was added as well.

I saw that Devital was submitted a few weeks back but wasn't accepted? Was the proof of VR not enough?

Doctura sounds like hardcore/nu-metal, which I'm sure a lot of early 2000s bands are confused with "groove" metal.

Review (Kabbala ‘zine): http://kabbala.web.fc2.com/i/a/r/a016.html (Japanese)
Previous name of Awaked (https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Awaked/3540452079) from 1999 until name change in 2010. Reviewer states he had heard they were metal, but the music had a new school element and a melodeath feel as well, so probably need samples to confirm eligibility and/or narrow down the subgenre.

Last Second Decision: Here's a track. Not sure if it's promising to follow the whole EP.
