That compilation was actually a famine relief fund-raising campaign. There were quite a few like these in Germany around that time, most of em inspired by the British project Band Aid I guess. "Band für Afrika" for example. Looking at the info the Corroseum, those are all local bands from Sonthofen, Bavaria. So this is a German band.

Needs research. - Fatal Blessing
Location: Tampa, Florida, USA (not to be confused with Oklahoma, US band on the site)
Genre: Heavy/Thrash Metal
Band members: Sean McNennery (https://www.metal-archives.com/artists/ ... nney/10893 - guitars), Lloyd Scott Wallin (https://www.metal-archives.com/artists/ ... lin/880057 - guitars), Mike Browning(?) - drums (Morbid Angel, Nocturnus mentions jamming with them in an interview - may not have been a full-time member.)
Discography: Don't know whether or not they recorded a demo. Released a compilation track, "Weep for the Wicked" on "Tampa Metal Massacre" compilation (which doesn't seem to be anywhere online to reference). If they released a demo, they should be added to the site.
Reference links: https://www.reverbnation.com/lucidsymbolicdream/songs - see songs at the bottom of the page. "Weep for the Wicked" is from the compilation mentioned above. The songs "Alter Reality/Onslaught" and "Ramses II" might be part of a demo release that they did, but uncertain. I saw artwork by R.P. Roberts (https://www.metal-archives.com/artists/ ... rts/159729) for this band a while ago, on a MySpace page that he had - looked like a demo cover. Can't find the page anymore, though.
- Interviewed in Ripping Headaches zine #7, 1989 - possibly mention something about release(s) in it.
- Guitarist Lloyd "Scott" Wallin's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/scott.wallin.58
- More details on Lloyd Wallin linkedin site: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lloyd-wallin-b6787535
- Mentioned here a few times: https://eve-l-dewer.angelfire.com/review001.html
- Logo here on a 1988 flyer: http://metallipromo.com/obituary.html
- Mentioned in Mike Browning interview: https://www.metal-rules.com/2007/09/23/ ... angel-etc/

Good to know. Updated the post to reflect the correct location and added a disambiguation to prevent confusion with the other band from Dortmund.

Masao Fujii - Guitars

BTW I think its just a s/t demo. 'Heavy Metal Force' is just the logo Explosion sticks on all of its Metal tapes at that time e.g. https://www.metal-archives.com/albums/L ... ._1/461182

Never found any samples though, unfortunately.

Regarding Savoirfaire, the Rusted Metal book has information on a band called Savoir Faire from Portland, Oregon, listed genre:Heavy Metal. I'm not sure if it's the same band at the Discogs link, or not. The book says that they formed in 1989 and released a self-titled 4-song demo in 1990, including a Queen cover of "Killer Queen". It might just be a coincidence, but the '89 demo at the Discogs link starts with a song called "Stone Cold" (maybe a cover of "Stone Cold Crazy"?), and the authors may not have known about the '89 release. The band members listed for the Portland, Oregon band are Nathan Reynolds (vocals), Patrick LeFebvre (guitars), Mark Todd (bass), Billy Joe Snook (drums).

Regarding Savior Fair: I have found a page of Mark Larue Todd, a bassist from Portlan, Oregon, at Fandalism. He played in ddiverse rock bands during the eighties and although I am not entirely sure, it could be also a member of Savoir Faire:
https://fandalism.com/laruetodd

- Azmodes bought the tape, confirmed to be heavy metal. It isn't the Oregon band, so will make a new entry for them here.

Apparently there was an EP called "It Ends Where It Begins" in 2007, but couldn't find proof for it. A Spanish-speaker could probably reach out to them.

I've checked the Lithuanian band Kvadratas and they make some sort of heavy metal with progressive rock elements.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoucNfJ1chI

Their music has been released on CD and reel-to-reel:
https://www.discogs.com/artist/3760520-Kvadratas

May I add them?

Heheh okk but I don't think I'll add them, thanks. After a closer listen, I've come to believe they sound more like progressive rock. If a mod sees enough heavy metal riffs, they can add them, but I won't. The research is done so there's no need to add them to the list.

You can also listen to their second, 2018 album here:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHPSpV ... VaA/videos
It's mostly rock I'd say.

Location: Seattle, Washington
Activity period: 1986-1989

Rusted Metal book states that they recorded a demo and shopped it around. Despite having members in a lot of other bands on the site (some of which are great bands), I'd like to find audio samples to make sure that it is musically acceptable.

Added. - Unusual
Spoiler: show
Location: Germany / Belgium (?)
Genre: Thrash Metal/Crossover
Members unknown. Point of contact: Philip van Steenbergen at Belgium address - he was Patriarch (Belgium)'s manager.
- second point of contact: Inline Music, Germany (https://www.metal-archives.com/labels/Inline_Music/1304)
Discography:
-Demo '90 (10 tracks, 33 min)
-Demo '91. Track listing: Donorarium in Delirium/ The Milky Way/ Empty Visions/ Image
Discogs link: https://www.discogs.com/Unusual-Demo-91 ... e/16706697

- update Aug. 1, 2021 - got a digital copy of the '91 demo - very metallic speed/thrash with less crossover influence than expected

Regarding Unusual: I talked to their former manager Philip van Steenbergen. The cassette on Discogs is a promo version of their second tape. A standard/regular version of it also exists. He said that the production of their first tape was better. The band was from Oud-Turnhout, Antwerp, Belgium. I heard a short clip, and they seem to play a crossover style. They played shows with Excel and Agnostic Front while they were around. Band lineup: Jan (Vocals), Paul (Rhythm Guitar), Alex (Bass), Danny (Drums), Geert (Lead Guitar). It sounds like he's going to digitize some of their music, and I can see if they should be added here or not.

Er bekam durch Rainer Teske die Chance, anfang der 90ger Jahre bei der georgsmarienhütter Hardrockband The Greed einzusteigen.

Hier war ein wesentlich groovenderes und akzentuirteres Spiel gefragt, welches zum damaligen Zeitpunkt genau seinen Vorstellungen entsprach. Über die Jahre entwickelte er sich bei The Greed zu einem der tonangebenden Mitglieder in punkto Songwriting und musikalische Ausrichtung. Somit entwickelte sich die Band in der Zeit seiner Zugehörigkeit weg von eingängigen Hardrockriffs wie sie zu dieser Zeit von Poison, Ratt oder Warrant zu hören waren, hin zu progerssiveren, experimentelleren Klängen. Des Weiteren übernahm Jason bei einigen Songs den Job des Leadsängers, welches dank seiner vielschichtigen Stimmlage dem Gesamtsound der Band einen zusätzlichen Schub in Richtung Progressiv Rock gab.

That does not sound very metal to me.

Gerade mal 19 Jahre ist diese Band alt, und die Musiker haben ein Durchschnittsalter von stattlichen eineinhalb Jahren. Also eine Band, die noch ganz am Anfang steht, die ihr ganzes Leben noch vor sich hat. Bedenkt man diesen Umstand, so ist die auf vorliegendem Tape gebotene Leistung schon sehr beachtlich. Es passieren zwar noch so ein paar Kleinigkeiten, die alte Hasen mit traumhafter Sicherheit links liegen lassen, aber dafür gibt's ja noch die Zeit, die Entwicklungsprozesse ermöglicht. Da ist beispielsweise das Arrangement nicht immer ganz schlüssig, der ein oder andere Songs wird in die Länge gezogen, wo ihm ein kompaktes Kleid besser gestanden hat, etc. Sei's drum - in zwei Jahren wird man sich über solche Sachen keine Gedanken machen müssen, und ich glaube kaum, daß man sich im Lager von THE GREED der Illusion hingibt, vom Himmel gefallene Musikgötter zu sein. Trotzdem sind die 30 Minuten des Demos von THE GREED alles andere als schlecht - gute Ideen, interessante Ansätze und angenehme Songs, denen aber der letzte minimale, aber im Endergebnis lebenswichtige Schliff noch fehlt. Wenn bei der Band der Wille zur Weiterentwicklung ohne Rücksicht auf die damit verbundenen Mühen vorhanden ist, blicke ich für THE GREED optimistisch in die Zukunft!


The band is nineteen years old, while the musicians have an average age of 1.5 years.
Yeah, nothing better than professional reviewing.

Im letzten UNDERGROUND EMPIRE hatte ich THE GREED aufgrund des vorhandenen Potentials die Möglichkeit einer enormen Steigerung zugetraut, wenn sie denn nur kräftig an sich arbeiten würden. Dies scheint absolut der Fall gewesen zu sein, denn das neue »In Greed We Trust«-Demo, welches mich ganz kurz vor Redaktionsschluß erreichte, eröffnet gleich mal mit einem fabelhaften Song namens ›Holy War‹, der einfach mitreißend ohne Ende ist und zudem auch textlich was hermacht, und zu der Problematik des religiösen Fanatismus Stellung bezieht. Diesem Song könnte man bedenkenlos umgehend Vinylgrundlage zukommen lassen. Allerdings möchte ich mich nun in keine Euphorie hineinsteigern, denn ›Holy War‹ ist eindeutig der beste Song des neuen THE GREED-Demos. Die vier folgenden Stücke gefallen mir auch gut, aber können das Niveau des Openers nicht bebehalten. Davon ist besonders ›Good Old Germany‹ zu erwähnen, der musikalisch den Qualitäten des Openers am nächsten kommt und textlich das Thema "Gehirnamputation 3. Grades" aufgreift, nämlich das Thema des in letzter Zeit zunehmenden Rechtsradikalismus in diesem unserem Lande, obgleich wir vor gerade mal 50 Jahren diese Perversionen schon bis zum Exzeß durchgespielt hatten, aber trotzdem nichts daraus gelernt haben. Es gibt also auch keyboardorientierten Hard Rock, der nicht nur von Begattungsszenen und deren Vorbereitung erzählt. Aus diesem Grunde drücke ich THE GREED sämtliche Daumen, denn ich finde es grundsätzlich begrüßenswert, wenn eine Band sich gegen eingefahrene Schemen stellt. Da man sich - wie bereits beschrieben - musikalisch auf dem Weg nach oben befindet bin ich auch ziemlich optimistisch, daß die Jungs mal gut einen losmachen können.

Thanks, Witcher. I took a look at them and it seems they referred a lot to the quality of the music and didn't talk much about the actual style that they play. Underground Empire is a great resource in general, though. They've brought out tons of obscure information about older bands and are very accurate in their facts.

Regarding Sentinela: I found the Facebook page of their vocalistFereirra jr. His brother A. Filho played apparently also guitar in Sentinela. He lists Stryper vocalist Michael Sweet among hïnspiratios on Facebook, sot it must be surely him. Please, since I don't have Facebook, could someone (at best Paganiusi :smile: :wink: ) contact him anand ask about the physical release of the Seu Destino album on Cd? Thanks.
