Billm99uk: They also released an earlier two song tape in 1996 'Jet Stream Attack': https://i.imgur.com/qhNo68e.jpg
Saw a copy on Yahoo Auctions a few years ago and put in a bid but lost that one.
It does give the full line-up though: Hiroki Matsushima (Bass), Hiromichi Ishii (Drums) and Atsushi Watanabe (Guitars, Vocals). I'm assuming 'Matsukun' is the bassist as 'kun' is a common Japanese diminutive, something like 'Jnr.' in English.

Not to be mixed up with the slightly earlier (1987-1991?) Redrum (featuring Alkaloid (https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Alkaloid/117874) vocalist Angel, who appeared on the famous Tokyo TV talent show 'Ikaten': https://youtu.be/gW4Q2wm2ktw
They also appeared in numerous Japanese music magazines of the period, such as 'Rockin'f', but I've never seen or read of a valid release from them.

REST IN PEACE is an Athenian group consisting of the following members:
MILTOS - LEAD GUITARS / NICK - RHYTHM GUITAR & LEAD VOCALS / WOLF - BASS GUITAR / JOHNNY - DRUMS & PERCUSSION.
The music played by R.I.P. moves within the SPEED METAL with several THRASH elements, which are closer to the German school. Characteristic of the pieces is their technical structure. DEMO has not been released yet as they are still working on some pieces while others have already been completed.
Recently they gave a concert at the ROCK CLUB "AN" of Exarcheia in Athens. In it the R.I.P. participated as SPECIAL GUESTS together with DESPISE, DANGER CROSS & DARKEST COLOR. 3 tracks were played as well as the cover of GREAT BALLS OF FIRE (played by the former NIGEL FOXXE'S INC.) With the participation of NIGEL FOXX.E. In the future there is a possibility of announcing a concert or participation, but nothing is certain yet.
MILTOS gives the LEAD character of the group. He used to be a member of RIPPER with the same role (RIPPER disbanded as two members left due to military service).
NICE was the founder of RIPPER in which he used to play bass while at the same time he had taken over the vocals. He played for about half a year in INC. and appeared in some concerts that took place in Athens and Thessaloniki.
WOLF was also a member of INC. with whom he recorded 2 LPs. Now as a bassist he is also a member of the well-known SPITFIRE.
Finally, JOHNNY also played for INC. in which he was also a key executive. We believe that his potential as a drummer is well known.
So this was a MINI presentation by R.I.P. for those who did not happen to hear anything about them. Although I have not heard them, I think they should be quite a "deadly" band. I hope to hear some of their work soon.
X. JOKER
PS: All the above information was given to us by the collaborator of the group and authorized to respond to some letters sent to P. Economou, whom we thank.

A few words about the band. DEATH STALKER was founded in 1985 and plays the classic THRASH. They consist of: Christos Papamichael (drums), Giannis Beka (guitar), Vassilis Perperidis (bass, vocals). Unfortunately now only Vassilis is left, who is looking for new members. The reasons for leaving (are not) given in the interview that follows.
Why did the two children leave?
There were many different reasons, but generally due to disagreements that arose from disagreements and other things. -But you continue. Do you have songs ready?
Yes I have 3 pieces of my own. Look, the band had others but they do not belong to me for that and the other children who left took them.
-One of your songs has a theme similar to that of "The Intruder" by LOVECRAFT. Do you read horror books?
Well, this particular song is the short story you said. I read. style of KING CLARK, maybe because I am lazy to read everything -
From where you are influenced in your songs?
I have several influences but my favorites are KREATOR, BATHORY, and CELTIC FROST, the good old ones FROSTIES. No, of course I also listen to HEAVY METAL, ROCK, but I prefer THRASH shapes -
About the THRASH-EPI controversy, what do you think?
You have, What is happening is nonsense. Now it's ridiculous things for me to curse and hit someone, just because he does not listen to the music I listen to. You can easily hit people who listen to other types of music style POP, RAP After all, the same music is also metal. What idiots are these, get serious.
You think that groups that have satanic lyrics should be rejected, I ask you this because it is very fashionable like that recent issues.
No, music counts. Besides, the groups I listen to have such lyrics. I do not think that the lyrics are a great reason for rejection. -You like noisy, babbling groups?
I do not like their music, but sometimes they have good political lyrics. -
Which Greek bands do you like?
DECEPTOR, ACETIC VOICE and MEDIEVAL DEATH I think stand out from the Greek scene. I like others, but I can not remember now. -Greek concerts, SKATA.
SHAME, -Yes, but there is no common ground. Of course, since everyone was looking to go to foreign groups and do not pay a penny for the Greek, what to say to those who moan that there is no scene. -There are suitable places for rehearsals, What spaces and molluscs. broken, the microphones are held with adhesive tapes. Villages that do not let you do your job, they are constantly pushed, they do not let you raise the volume and they take your nice money from above. -
Do you think that many groups that have become names, were made because of advertising and, they do not deserve it?
Advertising and promotion certainly count, but if you do not know how to play and write music, and they push you, you will do nothing. -You were interested in GREECE ATTACKS last year, It was the time when I joined the band, then we started to deal with our own songs and it did not suit us. -
Have you played in concerts?
Yes, on May 18 last year at "Dream" was our first appearance at the HEAVY METAL nights.
From DEMO what is happening?
We have not released any yet, but we have written our songs on a cassette that has been given to some radio stations, such as 106, but also to ZINES....

- yet another band that was interviewed and had plans to release a demo on the horizon (around February '91). Guillotine #2 'zine (1990) has an interview and their logo. This is translated from Greek to English:
[spoiler]Well, the band is me, Tassos-L.A.-Lavrentiadis on vocals ... -
L.A. what it means;
Nothing, my initials are and one stuck it to me and stayed. Also Tassos Gountios on guitar, Giannis Logothetis on guitar again, Kostas Domenikiotis on bass, Diamantis Karagiannakidis on synth, and Nikos Zaferiadis on drums. You could call the style of the group melodic HEAVY METAL with many technical points. -
maybe the music differences was one of the problems that arose and you left PRENATAL END? ​​
Basically that was the reason why somewhere I wanted to play more passable music because my age is older than PRENATAL END who still have a long way to go, that is, they do not have very important aspirations, while I want to do it a bit more professionally, -
That is, to expect any DEMO soon?
The DEMO will be released around February.

- there was a promo CD release in the late '80s, according to the video

Pure, strong heavy that goes back to something very special thanks to the amazing Keyboards and the very good vocals. But all the instruments are tied and can be heard without any problem, a fact which is helped by the good production. Braindamaged have a musical style that wins over the listener with its very good compositions and performance of songs, "Blues Of The Night". "Little Guys". "Saturday Nights". "No way" and "Tell Me", the five pieces contained in the dermo All very well, but can definitely be improved. Slightly better connection of pure heavy music with the keyboards that choose to play classical Themes. Perhaps a wider use of the guitar since the Guitarists know well they do it and leave no doubt about it. Nevertheless, Braindarmaged was a surprise for me since I had never heard of this band playing such good heavy. The only unattractive element of this cassette is the cover Black and white photocopy, without lyrics. It would be nice if there was something more, but it does not matter. Good and quality music counts, regardless of the "wrapper". And Braindamaged definitely meets the conditions.
There is no address on the cassette to get in touch with the band. In our attempt to communicate with them we learned that unfortunately (and I emphasize this) Braindamaged is now a thing of the past.

UTOPIA is a completely unknown group from Germany and specifically from the area around Frankfurt. The group consists of CHRISTIAN SCHUTZE (voice, guitar), ARNE HINRZ (bass, vocals), ANDRE
in March '92 at HEXENHAUS STUDIO. The ARTWORK is quite good, on hard paper with a colored cover but nowhere is the address of the group mentioned. The songs of DEMO are REMAINING DESERT, THE INVISIBLE ONES, TWO SOULS, WHY , IT'S NOT YOU and the cover of the classic MR. CABDRIVER in the first play and the DISCOVERIES, MEMORIES THE WICKED IN WHITE, BIZARRE and UTOPIA in the second. they are presented with the right technique and quite good inspirations in their songs. Beyond that, it is up to everyone how we will appreciate them and I do not think they will make a special impression on the METAL audience.
