The band supposedly released a demo in 2008, although I'm not 100% sure if this is an actual demo or if this is is just a random compilation of MySpace tracks. I don't know if there was a physical CD made for this, but even if there wasn't, it's possible that it could've been intended as a demo. I'm not 100% sure.

The demo on YouTube:


MySpace link:

2009 archived MySpace link:
http://web.archive.org/web/200902031608 ... ofmassacre

Note: On the current MySpace page, it says one track is part of something called "DEMO!" However, this doesn't mean that the song is the only actual track on the demo, since MySpace is broken, so on many pages, songs on an album/EP/demo aren't listed as part of it.

I submitted the band a few months ago and was asked to seek more solid proof that the demo was released and distributed, but can find no more info than what is given at France Metal Museum and ReverbNation. It's likely that it was just taped on a commercial blank tape and circulated without a J-card, as was very common at the time. If anyone could help to get this classic band added, perhaps by contacting a former band member for clarification, that would be awesome.

[spoiler]Spooky: Regarding Bromothymol (France), would anybody who knows French be able to watch this 3-minute interview and see if there is any mention about their 1984 cassette release?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlyeOJXPIvo
The '84 demo was recorded (and very likely released) one year before this interview. On the band's ReverbNation page and on France Metal Museum it's mentioned that the band is looking for the tape, and to contact if you have it (which to me means that it was physically released - they apparently got a copy, too, as it is uploaded on ReverbNation with the same track listing shown on the release at France Metal Museum, a very detailed and accurate webpage.)
I tried contacting someone else from the band today to ask if it was officially released. The first 2 band members that I messaged didn't get back to me.

Sean16: I checked the short Bromothymol interview. There is no mention of any cassette tape, but starting around 1:10 the interviewer asks the musician about a videoclip made "conjointly to a 45 rpm EP, your first". The guy answers "yes, to release a 45 rpm, you need a lot of advertising, and a videoclip is the best support we can have". The way it's presented, it seems like the EP was already released, but it never gets more precise than that. That's all the information there is about a potential release, really - the rest of the video is about the different ways to promote the local rock (sic) scene, videoclips, live shows etc.

Spooky: Thanks for the translation, Sean. It could also be noted that the song that was aired on the TV program is "Ne résiste pas," the first song on the 1984 demo. It sounds like the interviewer referred to the demo as an EP (which was their first and only documented release). For a 1984 demo it has good sound production and could very well be looked at as, or referred to as an EP. Looking again at the France Metal Museum page, where it talks about the recording, translated to English it says "It's time to immortalize it all! In 1984, BROMOTHYMOL entered the "ADN Musique" studio..." When it's described like that, it sounds like there was a release. Immortalizing songs doesn't seem the way it would be worded if merely recording a tape for band members to reference, or send to labels, especially when being written about decades later.
With all of this info it seems likely that there is enough for them to be added to the site, but in order to try to get further clarification/details I emailed France Metal Museum, and will wait a few days to see if I get a response from them, or from vocalist Emmanuel Guerard who I wrote to a couple days ago.

Sean16: Well, the way it's referred to in the interview, "45 tours" in French explicitly means the format is a 45 rpm vinyl, definitely not a cassette tape. And the term is used both by the interviewer and the bandmember. Does it mean there was first a demo tape, which was then semi-professionally released as a vinyl EP? Again, nothing more can be grasped from the interview alone. Hope you'll get more details from French Metal Museum (I like this page, too, very convenient for French metal history).

Translated biography at ReverbNation page (which also features a more recently-recorded rehearsal video and their full 1984 demo audio:

The group was founded in the south of France, in 1978, in Arles exactly.

It was then composed of Jacques Serra (Guitar), Frédéric Arlandis (Bass) and Albert Dubuis (Drums), all three high school students. This hard core plays Rock and Blues instrumentals, and performs in various festivals, podiums and concerts in the region.

They find the name of the group when they come out of a high school chemistry class!

After several attempts by musicians and singers, the combo was joined by Emmanuel Guerard on vocals, who happened to be rehearsing in the same premises as the group in 1981. Thanks to the vocal capacities of "Manu", Bromothymol is moving towards a rather Hard Rock universe.
Influenced by Depp Purple they play 2 titles on stage, Rainbow and even AC-DC. They also listen to a lot of southern rock, like Lynyrd Skynyrd, Molly Hatchet ... who play with three guitarists and perform choruses with two or three guitars.

In 1982, Frédéric Arlandis (bass) left the group and began to sing in the new group he formed. The group therefore sees the arrival of Joe Cippiciani on bass, having toured with Made in France and Undertaker. And two new additional guitarists, Hervé Redon and Thierry Torne.
Bromothymol is now evolving with three guitarists, which allows two guitar solos to be performed on stage. This particular and original game, enhanced by the high pitched and melodic vocals of Manu, and driven by the sustained bass-drums rhythm, makes the "mark" of the group throughout the region.

Bromothymol entered the studio in 1984 to record a demo of eight tracks (we are looking for him, including an instrumental.
The music is signed: Jacques Serra and the texts: Manu Guérard.

In 1985, the group recorded two titles during the recording of the program "Pas de Rock sans Clips" on FR3 Marseille (France 3 at the time), only one was broadcast, in this program where we also find the "North Quarter" group

After many Festivals and concerts in the region, Manu left the group and joined Slaughter, a group from Miramas, whose influences (Iron Maiden, Judas Priest ...) suit him better.

Thierry also leaves the group, but for personal reasons.

Bromothymol evolves temporarily with Jacques on vocals and guitar, without managing to find a singer. Joe took by his military obligations, has difficulty being present within the group, despite a replacement bassist, he must leave the group.

The group will be dissolved in 1988

Manu (vocals) will continue to perform with an orchestra.
Hervé and Jacques (guitar) will do various musical experiences in groups and orchestras
before being joined by Frédéric, former bassist but on vocals and will form "Replica" group of covers of Van Halen, AC-DC, Deep Purple… and will perform in bars before separating for professional reasons.
Joe (bassist) will try his hand with a cover band of Martiques then a band of Metal from Marseille.

Thierry will perform in bars in the Antibes region.

Albert will stop the drums!

The group takes advantage of this biography to thank all those who participated directly or indirectly in the adventure, namely:

Andrieux Olivier, Blanc Philippe, Drome Thierry, Parenteau Jean-michel, Vidal Jean-pierre, Gleize Yann, Elefante Stef, Blanc Daniel, the late Augier Philippe and Rieu Philippe ... Pardon those who have not been mentioned !
Without forgetting William and Ginette without whom this adventure would not have been the same !!

On January 3 the group is found for a mini session. The guitarist Thierry Tornes was missing.
The group is reworking all the titles for a future session.

1. Intro
2. Altars of Unholy Dream
3. Nocturnal passage to cthonic immortality
4. Call of Necroabyss (from promo 2012)

Spooky :In addition to Dino Fiorenza (as listed in the original entry), Ron Keel was also in this band (https://www.metal-archives.com/artists/Ron_Keel/13959). One of their songs, "Now" is posted here on Dino's Myspace page, if you know how to get it to play: https://myspace.com/dinofiorenzabass/music/songs). "By Self" found at this same link is probably another Disaster Area song, since it is the name of their other album, but Dino Fiorenza is listed in the artist field.
