Band: Satori -- Genre: Awful Death Metal

Is it still metal enough? Any chance you could send the recordings this way for its inclusion to the Archive?

There's a rule about awful bands somewhere, someplace... I just know it.

If it's metal enough, TGW will take care of it, Ksevile.

Rest assured!

Awful bands are his speciality.

Someone has to do that work.

It's not death metal, either.

Ah, okay! Well it was worth a shot, although probably not in the band's case.

I still think it is probably acceptable. I want to listen to it a few more times.

So, I'll be starting with a new company in June, which will leave me with a higher level of disposable income. I'd be willing to gamble on some of the tapes from Neseblod, but I'm not entirely clear on how he does pricing. What is he normally asking with these tapes? I see a number with "NOK" or "BUD/BID" on them.

Satori subbed.

Terribly bland groovy heavy metal with some chuggy thrash tossed in, for the most part.

Also, it's like 50 minutes fucking long.

Man, that is three obscure Wisco bands in the last few weeks. Time to start digging even more, thanks for the heads up ksevile. Uploading the cassette rip (minus a song, I think) to mediafire for you right now. You'll be disappointed.

Can moderators accept .rar files as proof of metalness in the entry notes field when adding a band? In other words, I just wouldn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble in getting the band accepted cause I'm not too familiar myself with rar files and how they operate. Thank you for the link, additionally, Wombat.

Not sure what's hard to grasp with rar files? But yeah, we accept them for proof of release. It needs to be uploaded somewhere (mediafire, dropbox...) so we can download it, of course.

I'm partial to the dropbox account over mediafire or some other similar site. Various places block mediafire, sendspace, zippyshare etc... I've yet to see dropbox being blocked. I speak of this only because I download the files at work and I know I can't get to the other file sharing sites.

Ive tried to open them before and was unable to and had to get winrar and still was not able to access them. Don't you need additional software to open and access them? I could upload what Wombat sent me to Dropbox instead I suppose if that is preferred that should be fine.

Do you mean Satori? It's been added already, ksevile.

In this most recent case, I sent the .rar directly to Azzy.

Ok, so I realize now that Neseblod lists prices in Norwegian Krone. I went through and compiled a list of prices based on Halloween's list of possible hits. It's linked below. There are a small handful of releases that are available for relatively low prices, including two under $10 US, but most of them are "Bid/Offer" items that he wants abhorrently high prices for.

I wouldn't buy the Asmorod demo as its not metal and is easily found online. I should have made an individual post. Which I will do now!

Needs research. - Asmorod/Chasms of Malice (black metal?/ambient, France)
-Promo-tape '95 (1995, Tape)

At one time, I saw this split on ebay (here) and I forgot to bid on it. It was listed as black metal and the Asmorod side had a Beherit cover. Good thing I was kinda nuts about backing up pictures a couple years ago so we have the ebay image:
http://i.imgur.com/BDBtEs0.jpg

The demo on Neseblod does have 3 metal tracks out of 7, so there is a possibility the split could be fully metal. See track 2, 4, and 8 here. I really don't know anything about the Chasms of Malice side, though.

There was a review in Wallachian Tyrant 'Zine 1, but that isn't online either.

If someone wants to give it a shot, Asmorod is on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pages/asmorod/106258638928

I am trying to submit my old band Writhing Agony the tracks where recorded at amp studio's in North Hollywood using professional recording software & the original master recording was lost & destroyed https://myspace.com/bmkommando

The demo lists all three Mournful Congregation members featured on the band's first demo: http://www.metal-archives.com/albums/Mo ... ping/26742
It could've been a pre-MC project - can't find anything that says 1995 anyway. I've sent an email to Damond Good via Cauldron Black Ram's Bandcamp, but I don't think he'll be responding any time soon. A FB search might yield better results. Nick Hansen, Ben(jamin) Petch, Damond Good. Something you may have already done I believe, but I thought it'd never hurt to say it.

I have two metal demo tapes that aren't on the site. Unfortunately, I can't upload audio at this time.

Added. 1. Slayground - s/t


Added. 2. Valhalla - Rip You in 2


This is my first post on this site, so if anything else is needed, let me know.

Added. - Pichia's

I found this on this blog, but I can't really find anything else. I don't understand why that would be rejected, though.

Added. - Wampyr Dungeon (black metal?)

Maybe this guy can help (listed third):
viewtopic.php?f=9&t=114620

Haha, woops! I meant to buy a copy but it slipped my mind. It was also called "Wampyrs Dungeon" a few years back, so there might be a sample somewhere. Probably safe to trust the label's description because of the related bands, I would guess.

Here's a few ebay ones for you:

1. No Exit (listed as German progressive metal)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/172223440405?_t ... EBIDX%3AIT

I can't bear to spend $13 shipping on a $2 tape to the US. If anyone in the UK wants to take a shot - it's open for a few more hours.

2. Not a new Band but something interesting from a seller in Chile - that's not listed on the site.
Holy Mother - http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Holy_Mother/4654
Demo from 1995 here
http://www.ebay.com/itm/122004885277?_t ... EBIDX%3AIT

3. Black Witch Messiah - No genre listed
http://www.ebay.com/itm/222141914536?_t ... fresh=true

Not sure if that's the name of the band, or the band is Black Witch and the tape is Messiah. There is a Black Witch on the blacklist as a heavy rock band from Australia. I have a bid on this one though.

4. Brunstock (listed as Black Metal)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/272244471695?_t ... EBIDX%3AIT

Love this guy selling - but if there's no MA page (as he puts in the auction) then it's suspect. Cover screams goth something...

5. Surrounded (listed as Heavy music with a bit of Hardcore and Thrash)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/231954307707?_t ... EBIDX%3AIT

Certainly not giving this a shot at $100. These people are fucking insane sometimes. Three dudes in my backyard doesn't mean this is a $100 tape.

6. Jimmy Packes (listed as Shred)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Jimmy-Packes-Ax ... true&rt=nc

I'll dig through the rest tomorrow, here are the easy ones.



This is a sampler that No Exit zine put out, so nobody buy this unless you actually want it . I actually have a copy of this and the zine, hah!



Make sure to get it then, it's death metal!

I'm familiar with this one too, that's Branstock, I guess the font is kind of confusing and that cover doesn't fit at all
http://www.metal-archives.com/albums/Br ... ayps/42620
Just needs to be added as a separate version:
https://www.discogs.com/Branstock-Ohne- ... se/1882622

This FB group might contain some unlisted NWOBHM: https://www.facebook.com/groups/120162115015194/ MA user Zygmunt is involved with it, or maybe even running it. He submits bands from there from time to time, but sometimes it's more hard rock than metal. Still, maybe some valid additions were overlooked.

Needs research. - A Few Seasons Later (post-Lost Soul)
http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Los ... 3540294473
https://myspace.com/afslofficial/music/songs
It says CD here: http://www.spirit-of-metal.com/album-gr ... -l-en.html
But this is no valid proof, I know.

Needs research. - The Ancient (pre-Winterus)
http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Winterus/3540324675
http://www.purevolume.com/TheAncient666
http://twitter.com/TheAncient666
Release: http://theancientlives.bandcamp.com/ (Not verified. Azmodes suggested contacting Winterus; I've tried their record label. No reply.)
Perhaps someone could contact Winterus via Facebook? https://www.facebook.com/winterus

I got a hold of the tape and the ambient portions outweigh the metal portions.

Added. - Empathy (United States, thrash metal?)

Check this puppy out - certainly not going to spend $1000 bucks on this. I'm thinking of putting a best offer of $9.99 in.

Needs research. - Arbitrator - Metal?

Unlisted band added by Alhadis. He might know.

Sorry for bumping this but I never got a reply in the "why was band X not accepted" thread. Should I re-submit it/pm a mod/something else?
Also band's name is "Pichia`s" not "Pichia's" as changed by some user. It's not in English, it does not denote a possessive case or some abbreviation - I guess "Pichia's" could be added to the alt spell field though.

Hmmm...There's not much to go with here, and there might never be. Best thing would be scans of old reviews or interviews about that black metal circle. I guess it's the benefit of the doubt here. Go ahead and submit.

Edit: I just restored your old submission instead.

Added. - Killed With Cash

It's for sale on their bandcamp: https://killedwithcash.bandcamp.com/releases
Just include that link

Included the link the first time and was still rejected.

The mod might have just missed that. Submit it again with that link still in it and just put a note in the submission notes that the tape is available on bandcamp.
