Thanks a ton, Zygmunt !! I think that the image shows the date of 1989, but please let me know if that is incorrect, as it's a little bit tough to read. The 2 YouTube songs sound great in my opinion. Cheers : )

Added. - Sacramental / Sacremental

Needs research. - Journey's End
Location: Unknown (possibly around the San Antonio, Texas, US area)
- not much info to go on here, but they are mentioned by the band Wyzard in a Snakepit magazine interview as an early favorite band of one of their members, alongside a few classic early-to-mid '80s metal bands. If they're anything like the others that are name-dropped, which were otherwise familiar, it would be great to hear them and find out if they've released anything. Since Wyzard were from San Antonio, it's possible that this was a local band to them since no information has been easily found so far. Have messaged the King Diamond tribute band that one of their members has been playing in more recently on Facebook several months ago, and got no response.

Needs research. - Koprophilia
Location: Bangladesh
Genre: Heavy Metal
Members: Shishir Ahmed

I've picked up this band from Baldadeath's searching list and started digging up some information. The band was formed in 1998 and released an album with an unknown title and some songs in V/A compilations:
https://thecorroseum.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5725

I was only able to trace one song by them, named "Ochena", in the "Agontuk" compilation, from 2003, which is available for listening here, at 50:06: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihUdc5tBKRE

According to the MusicBrainz site, they were also featured in another V/A compilation, from 2001, named "Chharpotro": https://musicbrainz.org/artist/8496149d ... 2fb26da65d

The only member I was able to trace is the Bengali musician Shishir Ahmed, who was their guitar player, between 1998-2001: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shishir_Ahmed
It seems like he's still active on the music industry, so, I guess we can contact him to gather some more information about this band and to find out their obscure full-length.

Additionally, there's this article in the Star Magazine that, along with the Corroseum's post, might be useful to acquire some historical glimpses of the band: http://archive.thedailystar.net/magazin ... rstory.htm

Finally, there are also some songs listed on a Last.fm page, but I'm really not familiar with it at all. It would be greatly appreciated if someone could check their profile on Last.fm and to see if their songs are still available for listening.

(One final note: it's my first time posting in this thread and I hope I'm not doing anything wrong. If anything, please, let me know.)

Have just moved Koprophilia from the Baldadeath list to the main list - if enough info is found that they can be submitted, it would be nice to give Balda a chance to submit (usually the person who first brings them up here has a week to do so after enough information has been posted and their name is mentioned along with what has been found). If those lists are for everyone (?) or he is fine with you being the one to submit them when enough info is found, then feel free to do so. It seems like keeping the bands brought up in this thread open for anyone able to find enough info to submit would possibly get other people more motivated to research some of them, so if other people feel the same way and would like to have the band included on the site at the end of the day rather than being sure to be the one to take credit for having them added, it would be more a collaborative effort of working together. Anyone who doesn't mind and would like to work this way, you could mention it so that we know whose bands are open to research and add. Nice to have the post, MDL.

Hello. Yes, for sure, I don't mind anyone else to submit a band that I happen to dig some information about. It's surely better when it is a collaborative project we're all conceiving together. Also because I haven't been very active lately and I doubt I'll have some more free time in the few next months, but I do like to do some investigation. Thanks!

regarding the metal bands from Madascar, there is a publication in PDF format about the metal scene there. It is in French and contains info about several bands mentioned here, so who's fluent in french, shuld take a look:
http://biblio.univ-antananarivo.mg/pdfs ... AST_17.pdf
REgarding egraygore- I found one song andit's death metal, so it could make the basis for a posssble submission, together with the review of the album, which was posted earlier:

https://fr.allafrica.com/stories/201910240395.html
Update: More Egraygore songs:

Don't waste you time on the PDF file, there is absolutely nothing worth of note.

Regarding the Lebanese bands in baldadeath list:
- Anonymous should be removed, the information posted regarding this band are actually related to the band Tenebra (post-Anonymous) who is already on MA.
- Cedra should be removed, not metal (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ou3SxQC7N-Y | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-id97xrdwdE)
- Exceed should be removed, not metal (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJZPvDNdOt8 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXbhJqPL9zU)
- Opposites should be removed, this is pre-The Weeping Willow who is already on MA, no release
- Equation should be removed, not metal (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFS1wPkCj6o | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ok2ld7s4fNk)
- Ghassan Rahbani Group / GRG should be removed, not metal (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I037vdxdrDM | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5hJQiYtRXM | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YK0qNQxtR2c) I am sure that all the other bands with Ghassan Rahbani can be also removed
- Fugitive Entity should be removed, not metal (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnRSES_BXp4)

Thanks - these have been updated.

These songs come from a mostly metal local Kassel (Cassel), Germany compilation released this year, "Masters of Cassel, Vol. II" (98records). Some bands from it aren't on the site yet. Contains old and newly-recorded tracks. Not sure if these bands have valid releases or not.

(while they have plenty of websites, I have yet to find a valid release. They mention re-recording and releasing music in the future, and have some really good-sounding recordings, new and old, in addition to a 1988 local Santa Barbara, California compilation appearance (w/ more than 6 bands). I tried sending a Facebook message and emailing today, to ask if they had a release).

- (update) - recorded a 5-song demo in 1989 that wasn't officially released. Have not made anything available for download, so they have no current release. Still an active band, so will keep this here as a reminder to occasionally check to see if they've released anything yet.

More from the NwoBHM lllist: Zygmunt has already listened to the band Stolen Thunder and describes them as not metal/hard rock earlier in this thread, so they can too be removed from the list.
Weeper/Heavy Pettin' member Gary Moat has a new hard rock band Burnt Out Wreck so can be recould be reached through their Facebook to provide more info about Weeper:
https://www.facebook.com/BurntOutWreck
Here's the Facebook of Alex Lohfink, so he culd be asked about the band CYron :
https://hi-in.facebook.com/alex.lohfink/about/
Hellden too can be removed from the NWOBHM list, sine they have already a separate listing in the thread with information about their demo.

Thanks. I sent a message to Alex. I'll keep Helden on there for now, because it has one L on the nwobhm list, and 2 L's (referenced this way at 2 sources) on the main list. Possible that it's two separate bands, but so far nothing has turned up for either with a few searches.

The following bands are from Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (unless noted - nearby), and were featured on the "Head Line" and "Head Line 2" compilation LPs (1992/'93). Based on audio and reviews of their songs there's a good chance that they could be added to the site if they have a release outside of these compilations. There's a good chance that the contact name given is a band member.

Regarding mythiasin: shis solo pproject was onece llisted here, but was removed when we came to the conclusion, that the demo songs were never released physically.Rick formed the project, after ha has left Stell prophet for the first time, so it was active around the time, when Ndir D' Priest was their vocalist.

All it takes to get this accepted is proof this was a public release. It certainly looks like something that would be given out at gigs, but there's no proof it actually happened.

Koprophilia released at least 6-7 songs on various compilation. So far, the supposed album has been shelved or remains unreleased (at least, that's what I could understand from a physical cd collectors group on FB)

Hi again,

I stumbled across this Japanese band and noticed that they were not blacklisted, but I can't find their album or split. Based on the live footage I've seen I think they might be acceptable. Sounded kind of like Wormrot or something.

This is a trade/reference list of a lot of metal and some hard rock, 1979-1986 that's been online for a long time:
http://jayrobot.50megs.com/DEMOSOLD.HTM

- removed, thanks.

Mystery band/song that everyone seems to be stumped on. It has to be either a rare compilation track, or some really obscure demo like from the list above, 1988 or earlier.
