Good to know - thanks!

This compilation of Spanish thrash metal demos (8 bands in total) contains 2 that aren't on the site yet:
https://www.discogs.com/release/2529213 ... shin-Spain
- maybe they were released on cassette, or have another release that could get them onto the site.
Needs research. - Mosh
- Demo '89
Needs research. - Bloody Souls
- Demo '89

(more information is also in the 2 drafts of these bands that user Dudgeon made)




Needs research. - Overlord
Location: Italy
Genre: Heavy Metal (?)
Discography: Demo 1988 (cassette) https://imgur.com/7jxWfkh (from someone's Italian heavy metal demo collection)
- not to be confused with the pre-Hard Boiled Eggs band Overlord from Bassano del Grappa (Vicenza), Veneto, who are listed on the site (their first demo came out in '91).

I don't remember seeing a copy listed for sale at Discogs at the time. There is one listed there at the moment that's much more affordable than the one on ebay. Not sure about postage, though.

I think I have a rip of this one in an old hard drive. I couldn't find any documental source about the existence of the band other than one citing its name, hence I've never tried to submit them. Tomorrow I'm going to search for it.

Needs research. - Smashing Head
Location: (Poland?)
Genre: Thrash Metal/Crossover
- Demo review in Diabolic Noise #2 'zine (1989).
https://imgur.com/KFbLv9w
- translation (thanks, Antioch) :

Foun it! The hard drive was corrupt and had to recover 150 GB using an undeleter.

It is a single 19 minutes file and I have no track titles. Charming thrashing guitars and Spanish lyrics. I can tell the band is from Spain because of the accent, but one of the songs is built upon the song "El rey" by Mexican singer Vicente Fernández (I wouldn't tell it's a cover). The last song is built around the Spanish version of Jingle Bells. Again, not a cover, buy maybe can be used to identify the demo, in case it surfaces a copy.

Do I submit the band refering to this post?

BlackFlag, sounds great. I'm looking forward to hearing it, and the other unknown bands on those CDs. It might be better for now to see if there is a mini-bio included in the CD booklet, as there might be more details about an original cassette release. A local friend of mine has ordered both that and the "Condenados al olvido IX" CD, so if no one else gets copies first I will check out all of those bios and the music, and add bands in the 'to be submitted' thread. I'll send you a PM about Mosh when I can find out more about them.

Just spoke with Nikodinovski last night (he was helping Esoteric/Saturnus with the sound during their gig in Novi Sad), who confirmed that TLoM never released anything officially, confirming the demo was likely put online by a fan)

They've been crossed off of the list - thanks.

- according to information in the Rusted Metal book, they were a thrash metal band, and released a demo tape in 1991 or '92. Seeking audio since this book has been a little bit off on some genres. Have not yet tried to contact either member. Not to be confused with the other Anaconda from Canada that's on the site.

Added. - Rune


Needs research. - Mercenary
- early band of Mike Wells ( https://www.metal-archives.com/artists/ ... lls/714642 ), from Wichita, Kansas, US. Active in 1985 (maybe also before/after). Shelley Millspaugh was one of their members - https://www.facebook.com/shelley.millspaugh

- discography unknown

Needs research. - The Dark
- another early bands of Mike Wells ( https://www.metal-archives.com/artists/ ... lls/714642 ), based out of Wichita, Kansas. Active in 1986 (maybe also before/after). Scott Duncan also played in this band - https://www.facebook.com/rscottduncan
Photo from 1986: https://obituaries.neptunesociety.com/o ... s-10527771
- discography unknown

Needs research. - Malicious Intent
Genre: Heavy/Power Metal
Location: US, state unknown. They had made these 5 demo songs from 1989 available for download a while ago:
https://archive.org/details/iuma-malici ... talker.mp3
- in description: "after over a decade, we've located some super-rare demo tracks from one of the last great late 80's metal bands- those unsung heroes Malicious Intent! These previously unreleased tracks showcase them at their raw best (or at their rawest!) Now available for the first time is Unvaliant Warrior, an awesome instrumental, and the notorious Challenge Me, a searing solo fest, which never made it to any Malicious Intent album. Not only that, we also have the much-rumored Night Stalker and There's No Use! All were recorded in 1989. More to come!"
Confirmed by band members from each that this isn't the Kansas or York, Pennsylvania bands with the same name. Could possibly be the California band on M.A., or the pre-Morbid Truth (California) band named Malicious Intent, though the page states that they formed in 1990 (possible the year could be slightly off and it could be these guys) - https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Mo ... 3540302678 . None of the song titles have matched up to a known M.I. yet. The band Aleister Wild has 2 of these songs in their discography (one on 1997 album, one on 2000 album), but their tracks have been compared side-to-side, so it doesn't seem to be an early incarnation of them. Within the description, "that never made it to any Malicious Intent album" implies that other recordings/releases exist.

Bought the comp

Could be crossover thrash, but could be punk.

I nabbed this.

Added. - Revolt

Alt/Nu/Funk whatever. - Ten Man Killer

Here you go, Paganius - didn't listen much, but it hasn't been sounding promising so far:
https://www.youtube.com/user/sonicmachi ... ?query=tmk

It's unfortunate that of the many ripping thrash musicians playing in the awesome style that the bay area had carved out for itself in the '80s/early '90s, most that were still active in the mid-'90s fell victim to the more watered-down, lazy, faceless groove-oriented or alt. rock direction the music industry had been taking (noticed that Paul Cowan - formerly of a good band, Hate, was involved here).

Re: Revolt

A copy (probably the same one) sold on Yahoo! in July here: https://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/t1057514262
Doesn't add much, other than to describe it as a 'Fast Draw'-type band. Haven't seen any samples, but its such a generic name, its hard to search for.

Thanks for that additional info. Do you happen to know if this is the Revolt vocalist? https://www.metal-archives.com/artists/ ... rie/149503

Grunge/rock. - Snowdrops

Needs research. - Face Your Underground compilation series bands
- Belgian bands, mostly Death Metal. Just entered in vol. 11 on the site, and came across a couple of bands that could have been added had their demos been released in a way that is valid by the site's definition. At least 24 volumes of this series exist. Only some have been entered in on the site so far. Would probably be worth checking them for unlisted bands. Several, but not all can be found on Discogs:
https://www.discogs.com/label/1329677-F ... nderground
Shouldn't be too difficult to find the others somewhere online, since they're all relatively recent (the oldest one not listed there is from 2016)

So far, the first 6 and vol. 11 have been entered in. Volumes 1-5 haven't been checked for unlisted bands, though.

Apparently unreleased. - Eleusis

Needs research. - Lake of Souls
Location: Castile and León, Spain
Genre: Power/Thrash Metal
Active around 2001~2004
known members: Ángel Díez (vocals)
Audio file:

This song appeared on this compilation of demos:
https://www.discogs.com/release/1418352 ... rata-Vol-1

I need proof of physical release.

Concerning Lightbulb Inferno. They have no valid releases. Recorded 3 songs: "Tabula Rasa", "Doomed to Fail", and "Total Annihilation".
They can be downloaded from SoundCloud, but they don't look like valid singles to me.

Thanks. I've edited the post to remove the Lightbulb Inferno link and mention.

.

I don't know for sure, but I assumed so, since its not a particularly common name and he's in the right place at the right time, and I doubt an established band like Bow Wow are going to take on someone without previous band experience. I do know the Tetsuya Horie in Bow Wow is still singing: he's vocalist of the long-running funk rock band Krush Groove, see bottom left here: http://www.pilania.com/kg/profile.html

Moved to Cuba Metal research list. - Primacy

Thanks for the research that sets the record straight, Antioch. Turns out it was worth looking into this further to have a few titles corrected and a photo of the release.

Glad to help, Spook.

Thanks!

Yeah...that ain't gonna make it. Oh well.

Needs research. - Vadok

Released a demo in 2013:
Incantations Of Death And Destruction

2 Sacrificial Blood 2:59
3 Infernal Inquisition 2:30
4 Black Vomit Ritual 2:01
https://www.discogs.com/release/6583746 ... estruction

Used to be on Bandcamp, but not sure if it was for download or stream-only. The dude who added it to Discogs might have gotten it from satan-knows where.

Here's also a review:
https://occultblackmetalzine.blogspot.c ... h-and.html
And 1 song:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNKquexCVJo

Needs a little more context for the release and a few samples might not hurt given that kind of raw bedroom crap tends to be borderline when looking at a full release.

Needs research. - Cafrunes
Alohaa people, sooo, a band of a friend of mine (Cafrunes)l, was rejected because there is no valid proof to be added here, the only info avaiable is this album I putted for direct download containing the both versions.
My friend which is singer / rythmn guitarrist of the band, sent me all the songs and tracklist via whatsapp because they finally made a full record (just digital), I am very happy to see them doing this finally , I putted it free for download at MEGA. Sure, I got pictures of the band, an obviously is not a fake band, but as the rules stablished, this is not sufficient as a valid release, unfortunately.
So I decided to make a thread of the band here, maybe there is something new to add regarding the imput sooner or later.
https://mega.nz/folder/qrQ0wBAD#3NopfT5Nbdq2MAN5VcxStg

He said he doesn't have any more copies. Not really sure if that's good enough for you guys as proof. I'll try to get a number out of him, but you know how it is.

Added. - Pesadilla

That looks like a good amount of info on Pesadilla, if you'd like to submit it Zygmunt. Thanks a lot.
Grim, it seems like Tantrum could probably be submitted as well.

Added. - Zuhhh


Needs research. - Jim Springer / Jim Springer Band
- solo project of https://www.metal-archives.com/artists/ ... ger/226223
Location: Florida, US
Genre: Heavy Metal (?) - haven't heard any of it yet. Seems like at least the '96 release would be metal, possibly the later stuff also. Don't have time to look through the FB page or search much now. If someone else does, feel free to submit - like with any band that I post here.
Discography: Jim Springer "The Hand of Fate" cassette (1996) -
https://www.facebook.com/jimspringeroff ... 26/?type=3
(spine of the cassette has Jim Springer listed as band name)
Jim Springer Band "Forbidden Lands" (2018). https://www.discogs.com/artist/6488903-Jim-Springer-2 - a couple of compilation appearances as well.
https://www.facebook.com/jimspringeroff ... ASixP5Kb8l
- 4 songs from his solo project are included on this CD: https://www.metal-archives.com/albums/T ... ion/220210 (though which tracks, and where they were sourced from is unknown).

I'll put together a submission for Tantrum.

The Pyper CD came today, and it's heavy/thrash metal. Do you need me to rip and upload it for you, Spooky? It's very influenced by early 90s Megadeth (Think Countdown) with some 80s heavy/power metal thrown in, to my ears. I'll put together a submission for that one, as well.

One of the YT comments says (Gtranslated fron Hungarian): "You could order a demo in Metal Hammer, it's from there."

Needs research. - Beggars Opera / Rival
Location: Bay Area, California, US
Genre: Metal (?) - there was a vague mention in a Snakepit Magazine article about Beggars Opera playing progressive metal. Having some slight doubts, though, and have yet to hear their music.
Beggars Opera members: https://www.metal-archives.com/artists/ ... pton/28878 , Nic Thorne ( https://www.facebook.com/nicolasjohn.thorne , also played in Rival circa 1987), Ernie Alonzo (also played in Rival), Greg Stone (R.I.P.). Other members of Rival were Sam Eigen ( https://www.facebook.com/sam.eigen.14 ) and Phil McCall - one or both may have played in Beggars Opera also, but am not sure. Rival and Beggars Opera may or may not have been considered the same band with a name change.)

Needs research. - Hungarian metal band lists/resources
- a very obscure band, Zuhhh, which was added to the site today is among the many bands listed here. Those that aren't on the site yet could be worth looking into for releases. This appears to show year of formation, city, and style of metal that they play(ed):
https://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Szerkeszt ... st%C3%A1ja
Metal Muzeum also has a few sites (private Facebook page, public database, YouTube channel, and Instagram page:
