Needs research. - Stricken by Fate
Listed genre: Power Metal. Heavy Metal (?)
Location: Texas, US
Discography: Self-titled demo (1994; track listing: Runaway Train/ Trials of Life/ Insanity)
Could (possibly?) be this band, described as a Dallas-area prog rock trio: https://www.facebook.com/StrickenByFate/
eBay link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/184798688899?h ... Sw1tRgECly (has been expensively listed here on and off for about a year now. I looked into them once a while ago and came across a live performance of one of their songs recorded in the last 10 years - could have been with some other band that featured a Stricken by Fate member, on YouTube - can't find it now. I think that was when you could see the band member's names on the J-card of the eBay listing (no longer the case), and I found the video clip that way. From what I remember it wasn't groundbreaking or anything, standard heavy metal)

Witcher: Audio for several of the bands that you brought up here has been recently acquired. Banta are Heavy Metal and can be added. As more are assessed I'll put updates in here.

Here's a review of that band/album, Stealth (translated):
https://translate.google.com/translate? ... ch&pto=aue

Aläde and Christian who played in Cerosin Cowboys with André are probably the same people listed here (will look into it) - this band probably changed their name to Cerosin Cowboys, got a different vocalist, dropped the keyboardist, and brought on a second guitarist. Looks like the CD is fairly inexpensive.

Great news, thanks a lot.

Great work, KingSpooky.


It can be possible.

Witcher: 3 more bands can be added - Believer's Freedom (Groove Metal with Funk elements), Crucible (Heavy Metal/Hard Rock), Forgiven (Heavy Metal)

These bands have been assessed as more rock than metal: Darkstone, Drezden Black, Elias, Freedom Force (heavy grunge rock), Heavy Artillery, Iron Faith, Joint Heirs, Passage, Relyant.

The Diamond Lady "Up and Running" 1987 demo was found and sounds okay, but we need hear the 3 songs on their other demo to make a determination.

Very few cd-r's distributed without artwork. - Demolisher Fear

Is anyone here currently bidding? No sense in pricing each other out if someone's already looking for the lot

Not me.

No, I'm not bidding on that cassette lot, either. Thanks for asking.

Needs research. - Suffoncant
Genre: Grind/Black Metal
In this special about hungarian Dallas Distribution on GrindZone 2/98 the journalist talks about the band without big details (just the style, a very raw black/grind with not very good production) https://imgur.com/a/p3iQ4uY

Needs research. - No Exit
Location: Ragusa, Sicily
Recently i added Noexit to the MA but in the review on GrindZone 7/98 the journalist said "Not to be confused with No Exit from Ragusa" so i suppose that probably there is some metal band not listed on MA called No Exit from Ragusa, Sicily, Italy https://imgur.com/a/mpp4YBC

Needs research. - Night Wings
Releases: probably a release under Crystal Lake Productions called "Roots Of Hate"
Here https://imgur.com/a/bC0HTWA a special review on GrindZone 3/98 where the journalist talks about an imminent release of Crystal Lake Productions called "Roots Of Hate" by Night Wings.

Here a review on GrindZone 4/2004 of the demo "Countodown To Rebirth" https://imgur.com/a/S2eSf7U
Here another review on the net https://metalitalia.com/album/incise-co ... o-rebirth/
The reviews talk about some track that reminds a death metal in Desultory style but also a vein in Deftones style so i wanna listen samples to judge considering the borderline genre (GrindZone seems to talk about of death metal and crossover).

Needs research. - Virus
Location: Rome, Italy
Genre: Heavy Metal (from second-hand information about their demo, half of the material is epic metal, the other half more in a hard rock vein. They played cover songs ranging from the bands Exodus to Europe)
Band members: Stefano "Lemmy" Denni (bass - https://www.metal-archives.com/artists/ ... nni/632260. Nowadays is a co-owner/operator of Ace Records - https://www.metal-archives.com/labels/Ace_Records/33059), Giovanni Loria (lead vocals - sang in John Lory band in the mid '90s), Enrico Ciarallo (guitars), and Francesco Terzulli (drums).
Discography: "The Boys Are Back in Town" demo (year unknown; track listing: Master of Insanity/ Time to Dream Away/ 69-The Number of Love/ Can't Stop Loving You).
- The information above is what someone that I inquire sometimes about rare Italian metal knew about them. The only info that seems to be online about Virus are a brief mention of Stefano playing in the band, that they were metal, and that they were active during the second half of the '80s:

I located the Born album and submitted it. Still too punk based. This can be struck from the list now.

Location: Detroit, Michigan, United States
Band members: Magus Scott "Kaos" Chamberlain (vocals), Bernard Edwards (https://www.metal-archives.com/artists/ ... rds/325075 - bass, runs the label that the recordings were supposedly released on)
Genre: Thrash Metal
Activity period: mid-'80s
Discography: "Corrupt," "Kill," "Prediction" - re-releases of old recordings that were apparently released by this label, but need further proof: http://emeraldcityrecords.blogspot.com/ ... s-inc.html. In looking into it further and per one source, if these CDs exist they might not be official releases

Appreciate you finding those, Stealth, thanks.

Silent Agony sounds as described by various sources, unfortunately. Pretty much hardcore/nu-metal stuff.

The Race seems more promising, will have to listen to more later.

Stealth, The Race (Austria) is metal and can be added.
