On a side note, I think it's high time someone got in touch with the owners of these Indonesian bootleg labels (Embek Ireng, Legion Hitam Nusanatra) to scrape up whatever legit releases there were. It's a treasure trove of one-off demo bands that will simply be forgotten otherwise.

Regarding Ominous Necro (Texas), their old FB page now links to Endymion TX, who have a single out on Spotify.

I sent that page a message about O.N.'s demo.

Added Endymion to the post, as one to check back on later.

Thanks, Spook.

Vile Reliquary Records needs to be added, the only info I got is their IG and some albums uploaded to YouTube.

https://instagram.com/thevilereliquary? ... Q2MjdiOTE=

That's a label, not a band. Also, there is an entry for it already: https://www.metal-archives.com/labels/V ... uary/60617

You have the wrong thread, Manue. This is for research of bands for potential addition. Labels get added to the site through band/release pages. If a band or release on the site should be attached to that label and isn't, please put in a report on that band's page, and if they're a metal band not yet listed and have a valid release (YouTube streaming not being a valid release per site guidelines), feel free to submit the band with audio and proof of physical or digital release (2 single minimum digitally with artwork unique to each single).

1992 news article (I've been unable to read it because there is quickly a pop-up requesting enrollment in a subscription. Maybe information about a release is here?) - https://journaltimes.com/news/local/don ... 3983c.html
- Seems very likely they would have put out at least a demo, especially since one of their guitarists was a recording engineer at the time, and they were around for a couple of years. Discography unknown, though.

I wouldn't say Chris Wisco was quite yet a recording engineer back in 1991, to be fair and accurate. The only thing he had recorded was his own band's demo by then and after that it was several years before he was really doing much with that.

These bands each had a song on an extremely rare Italian compilation CD, "R.A.U.S.? Hard'n'Heavy CD Project" on the label Musical Box, 1991. Most of the bands on it are on the site already, and the band Honey Mama doesn't sound promising (though information can be found in trivia here ( https://www.metal-archives.com/artists/ ... lio/445309 ) if you really want to pursue them. Here are the others, which are from Italy and have probably released at least a demo tape which the compilation song is sourced from, like the other bands featured.

Needs research. - Exsecror (not the one on the site)
Song title: "Slaughtering the Carcass"
Band members: Boris Dal Zotto (vocals), Roberto Deganello (guitars), Giorgio Filoramo (guitars), Filippo Boschetti (bass), Luca Mantese (drums)
What seems to be 3 of the former members are based in Schio, Venito, Italy.

Song title: "Gipsy"
Band members: Cinzia Pozzan (vocals), Mauizio Corbo (guitars), Dario Consonni (bass), Massimo Corbo (drums, keyboards)
Needs research. - Aenphasys
Song title: "She Comes (Sister Death)"
Band members: Fabriano Bettio (vocals), Marco "Yorick" Tortato (guitars - https://www.metal-archives.com/artists/Yorick/62650 ), Ivano Nasilli (bass), Thomas Carraro (drums), Denis Andolfo (keyboards).
- more info from LandSurveyor - thank you! Founded in 1987, the original lineup comprised:
Fabiano “Ciribin” Bettio – vocals
Marco "TNT" Tortato -guitars
Massimo “Max” Michieletto -bass guitar
Denis “DDT” Andolfo – keyboards
In the first two years drummer’s seat was most unstable, then Thomas “THO’” Carraro settled in.

Issued two demotapes:
“Demo ‘89 (HM Thou being the Best of Things)”: studio songs (4-track recorder) + live songs.
On this tape Tortato also served as lead vocalist as Bettio had temporarily left the band. As far as I remember, three versions of this demo circulated: first version with Michele Martini drums on all tracks; then a version with one “bonus” track, featuring Carraro on drums; last a version with some of the studio tracks re-recorded with Carraro on drums.
“Demo ‘90 (Not Withstanding the Situation)”, professional recording.
Original bassman Michieletto lost interest in the project and left the band shortly after having completed recording sessions*.

Following the release of the second tape and a positive review on the Metal Shock magazine, they signed with Musical Box Promotion (Klaus Byron), hence the CD. If memory serves me well, they also discussed a distribution agreement with Fireball Management (Ferro brothers, of Fireball magazine).

The song on the R.A.U.S. project, She Comes, was recorded specifically for the compilation.
By the time they entered the recording studio, Ivano Nasilli (ex-Stay Clean, later went pro) had replaced Michieletto.
The song was recorded in the same facility as the 2nd demotape: owned by engineer Paolo Cavallin, it was a small studio where also Black Jester and Signals had had their demo produced.
A professionally edited video of this song also exists.

Concerts were few and far in between.

Disbanded approx. one year after the CD was distributed.

*Homonymous with Massimo Michieletto of Asgard ( https://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=30) but definitely not the same person.
