Uploaded here by band member Vladimir (who later played in a non-metal band called Hobi): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiZzJL-bTgM
Additional info, translated from video: we were 16, 17 years old, we got into old school heavy, we had a lot of equipment and we persistently practiced in the dirty basement under the video store.... then that noise moved to the streets and that was it. Those were good times. Aco taught me the first drumming steps:-) I would like to know what is happening with these people now......

Needs research. - Wild Witch
Location: Erfurt (ex-GDR), Germany

Discography: Demo 1988 (recorded in May; track listing: Come on Rock/ Welcome/ Teufelswahn/ Danger of Death)
https://imgur.com/EecYYYM
From the Corroseum: "A highly obscure and rather unknown female fronted Heavy Metal band". A tape was found in the inheritance of Matthias Hopke, a radio host of the "Tendenz Hard bis Heavy" show that passed away in '21. "Wild Witch “secretly“ had recorded a 4 track Demo in May ’88, stylistically influenced by Warlock/Accept with German vocals, that makes them appearing accidentally sounding slightly like Plattform, but way heavier though." Below that on the page it says 'self-released'. Maybe they recorded it in secret (because of the laws there at the time), but distributed a certain number of copies - or possibly only given to a radio show for airplay. Seemed worth adding in here anyway, and it would be great to hear the tape.

He played in a doom metal band called MORPHEUS, next door to MEZZROW’s rehearsal studio, and was asked to join in June 1989." They had split up in 1989 or '90, since Mezzrow's 1990 album thanks list includes "Morpheus (R.I.P.)"

Not metal. - Eskapism

This band is definitely not metal. Someone needs to probably check all the bands submitted by thrashmania80gr for metalness and/or genre modification, I know how things used to be done in the band queue.

That's a pretty big task to propose, as his submission list is nearly 1,000 bands long and many of them pre-date our usual easy-access music sites like Bandcamp or Spotify. I doubt there's going to be any concerted clean-up push for him anytime soon, but if you come across blatant examples, send them to the cleansing thread.

Genre: Death Metal
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xJVEyooUbs
https://brutalmaya.blogspot.com/2014/08 ... -live.html
(Translation from the blog page above with Google Translate: "Country metal, really, with social/political texts... Shit, I love my metal with pieces of Satan in it! They came from Bats-Tursan (Landes), the demo dates from 1994. Before calling themselves Rural Devastation, they called themselves Uncivilized and did (at least) one concert under this name, the link of which you will find below . For the record, they were also called DeathCore From Space and Glower. I don't know if it's really important, but now that I've written it, I don't have to keep it in my head anymore!!!!")
- Not quality stuff, but I figured it would be okay to submit. Antioch thought that some riffs sounded familiar, and that it should be checked for possible plagiarism. There was one riff early in the song on YouTube that reminded me of Accept "Princess of the Dawn", but otherwise it just sounded like generic no-budget metal riffing somewhat directionlessly.

Needs research. - Pain Tolerance

- 1 song from a recording project uploaded to YouTube by one of the two people that played on it. Wondering if it was released, or just recorded.

At this rate, I'm thinking Entourage could be blacklisted. It appears to be a mix of Hard Rock, Prog Rock and Shred with intermittent Metal. There are some heavy moments, but Entourage seems chiefly focused on shredding solos rather than riffs:

Agreed. Have blacklisted/removed from the list.

https://rockalbumarchives22.blogspot.co ... -dana.html

The band was formed in the mid/late 80's under the name B.V.S. (Bloody Vicious Slaughter) and between the last days of August and November 1988 they changed the name to Daemaniac. Under this new name the band recorded a demo in December 1988 (with two songs) and played a few shows. Two of these shows (held in November 1988) were distributed in D.I.Y. (as well as its demo) through tape traders, who even went outside the UK. The band's sound (through these two shows) is a little difficult to define, because in some songs they sound like Thrash/Crossover with some parts of proto-grind, in others they demonstrate a Thrash/Speed with passages of Hardcore Punk and Traditional Heavy Metal. I don't know how the demo sounds, but you can check it out in these two links (the track Twisted Blue is not one in the demo):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmOSPA-BsDc

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKrs0ykmBrM

Thank you for that information about Daemaniac. It sounds like metal/punk to me. Feel free to submit them if you'd like to.

Submited. Thank you so much!

BTW



Here's another Dominator recording:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtcVoVLN504

There are two songs and they are a little different from the style of the one that entered the collection. I don't know if they consider the first recording (Anđelov Pokolj, which was included in the compilation), if it would be part of this demo, or even if there is another distinct recording as Demo I. It's need confirmation if this demo was released.

I sent a message to the channel owner about some bands (mainly Corrupt and Anacreotic), but unfortunately I didn't get a response from both. He only answered me about one band, Mind Rape (which I don't know if it's on this topic), and that unfortunately their demo "Body Graveyard" recorded in 1991 was never published. The band recorded the demo and shared it only with close people, as the band broke up shortly after recording it. The demo can be seen here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zqpcs6aXZA8

Until this demo is officially released (I hope it can be released soon), it should remain blacklisted.

Thanks so much for looking into Dominator and those other ex-Yugoslavia bands. Hopefully information about Dominator's demo or demos can be found eventually. In the meantime, the original post has been updated with that YouTube link.

Mind Rape's guitarist is on the site, and he played in several other bands as well: https://www.metal-archives.com/artists/ ... ote/378659 . They sound good.

Speaking of Serbian bands, I'm trying to also find out if these were released:
