- pre-Stormhammer ( https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/StormHammer/2923 ). The 3 songs on this tape were re-recorded on "Fireball". They're not terribly metal, though. It's possible that these earlier versions are different.

Needs research - Frozen Shade
Location: San Jose/Antioch, California, US
Genre: Black Metal/Drone/Ambient (?)
Discography: "The Grave" demo (2004; line-up: The Wretched (vocals, guitars, bass, ebow), session musician: Jason Bursese: drums)
pre-Necrite band ( https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Ne ... iscography ). It was in their discography. While the band name isn't listed on the artwork, according to their listed timeline and biography on their page, this was released when they were called "Frozen Shade".
https://www.discogs.com/release/1454008 ... Grave-Demo

That demo only contains one song, I'd say this was just a random demo track they recorded, nothing rock-solid.


Looks like they renamed that one to "DEMO1", it also uses their logo as artwork and contains two songs... eh. Not sure. All other links are dead.


That release is listed with its only song named "-" and a note that says "adding songs in progress", so that's not a finished release at all, it seems.

Should the 3 of these be deleted, then? We don't want to add bands to this massive list unless there is something fairly solid to go on.

If that's their destiny, then, I'd kindly suggest only to delete Torque and Animas. Our Solemn Dream's stuff appears to be quite recent and still under development and I could swear I've read that name somewhere, not too long ago. Maybe on a fb group or something, I'll ask there and see if there's anything new worth pursuing. I'll say something, then.
Thanks for checking out these bands!

All artists were added by the same user. I was able to find a post in a website about them, but it's quite old, not sure if they've released something more recently. Those artists entries were added in 2020.

The submitter deleted the draft without doing much with it. There's no info, no links, no nothing.
Here's their old MySpace page though:

Mayerly Mesa is this artist:

I've found Mayerly on Facebook and I'll try to get in touch with her to get some information about that band.

Fleshwounds is on the list already:

Oh, sorry, I didn't notice that, I confess that I've only reminded about the list again now
But I'll be looking into some of them later on, there's probably something new that could've risen up about them more recently.

No worries at all. Feel free to submit any of the bands that I've posted in here if enough information can be found to do so. They're not reserved - would just be glad to have them on the site if they belong on it.

Haha. It was listed on eBay as Cubed - I didn't have a close look at the logo. Will cross off the list, thanks.

Ninten: Azmodes found the 2 songs by String Eyes, and they played rock. Crossing them off as well.

Some newly-reviewed compilations at The Corroseum that feature 6 bands or less in physical format (so could therefore be added based on their appearances here, pending metalness). The few song titles that I typed in were easy to find on YouTube. It looks like a lot of the bands have one heavy metal track and one ballad. Taking these songs and whatever other discography they have into consideration, some could possibly be added:

There is a list of bands thanked in the Blackened "So Real..." 1992 demo tape, which are mostly on the site already. There are a few interesting-sounding names that aren't, which may be worth looking into. These bands are mostly from or nearby Turin, Piedmont, Italy, active in the early '90s.

@Sacroculto: The issue here seems to always have been releases; no proof for anything physical nor any valid download options. Even BlackFlag had a draft for them, but recently deleted it. Bad sign if not even he could find anything.


There is a total of four deleted pages in the deletion history, but none go that far back. It's entirely possible that the band was submitted before that and they just over-eagerly linked the pending draft on their FB. I've often seen bands do that.

There's an email address now set up for this thread. If you have useful information about any bands that are discussed in here but don't want to create an account or post publicly, it is: MetallumResearch at gmail dot com.
