Needs research. - Swamp
Location: Eschenbach, Bavaria, Germany
Genre: Heavy Metal (?), Hard Rock (?)
Band members: Bob Meyer - Bass (1985-?), Jürgen Käck - Drums (1985-?), Stefan Kloha - Guitars (1985-?), Hubert Forster - Unknown (1985-?), Mark Huber - Vocals (1985-?)
Discography: Demo 1 (year unknown), Demo 2 "Take It for Granted" '88 (6 songs), Demo 3 "Black Mess" '90
There are some conflicting reviews about their sound. According to someone who owns "Take It for Granted", it is more of a hard rock/blues rock style:
https://tshirtslayer.com/tape-vinyl-cd- ... anted-demo
A write-up at The Corroseum: "mid-league, mid-tempo HM with AC/DC style vocals, that the Rock Hard Mag labeled as "straight, unpolished Accept Metal". Early 1990 the lads recorded another tape with the promising title "Black mass", produced by Inline Music. The 4 songs according to the band's own info offered "merciless Heavy Metal with sawing riffs", while the Demo was two-faced. The A-side features pretty hard hitting Heavy/Power Metal, while on the other side Swamp almost drifted away into glammy Metal." I think that they also had at least one review at The Underground Empire. There's enough doubt that it would be best to find samples to make the determination.

Needs research. - Bly's Jinx
Location: Olympia, Washington, US
Genre: ? - Rusted Metal book described them as Thrash Metal, but the band members disagreed with the assessment. They later became Simple Ritual, which is hard rock with funk elements, so samples are needed and the Rusted Metal book's word can't be taken without being sure they were metal. They did play shows with a lot of metal bands in early '90s, but genre is unclear at the moment.

He's on Facebook and was still actively playing metal not long ago, so would be the best person to ask for more details. Obscure band, but there were a couple other references that I located:
http://bestial-warbeast.narod.ru/CD-Rs.htm - 1991 demo in a tradelist
https://journaltimes.com/news/local/ler ... bfe95.html - 1992 news article that mentions one of their gigs. Couldn't read the whole thing because I get a pop-up and it's requiring a subscription.

I asked.

Formerly called "Schreckschuß"
There's an interview with them here:
http://eisenblatt.ostmetal.de/script/eisen_08.pdf (German)
They recorded one song and some rehearsal stuff, but split up before releasing a demo of any sorts.
The "pro" recodring is prolly this song:
https://www.myownmusic.de/ritera/play/?songid=409431

According to the band, the only thing they were giving out were stickers

They re-united though and according to facebook they are rehearsing new songs, so maybe one day they'll release something:

I remember having read they recorded after wining a local prize, so I'm quite sure it was released, but cannot prove it. They have it listed at Bandcamp, but unavailable:

All songs are on YouTube since 2009, though:

^...and, except for track 1, previously available for free download from the band's website.
https://web.archive.org/web/20070513210 ... ?page_id=6

It looks like you can purchase their 2021 demo digitally on Bandcamp, but only sample the first song. If that's the case, they should be fine to submit.

Only the first track is available, even if you download/buy the whole demo.

Thanks for clarifying ^
