Heavily doubt it's a different band. Location can't be confirmed. This stuff seems to most likely be from the 2000s. I know these guys played with bands of a similar vein (metalcore, nu-metal, etc.) so I'm certain it's them. Tagged out. Thanks.

Fortaleza were formed in 1996:
https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Fo ... 3540284010
-> had to be later

Trident were already called Steel Trident in 2009:
https://www.metal-archives.com/albums/S ... ino/249050
-> had to be earlier

So it's just about matching "Sunday" with "26th of March".
For which we have just two options:
2000 or 2006.

Looking at this:
http://extremauncionfanzine.blogspot.com/2009/

Especially this:


Sounds like 2000 is the best guess at the moment.

Azarius (ID 2494) was an Irish band, not from the UK.

Before The War (ID 2504) - formed in 1984 (so rather too late for NWOBHM). Their only album was released in 1988 and a single in 1989.
https://eil.com/shop/moreinfo.asp?catal ... &from=GPUS

Emmanuel (ID 2552)- Founded in October 1977, prog rock. Nearly twenty years on, and retaining their trade mark of lead guitar and synthesizer layers, Emmanuel went to the studio in 1997 and recorded the album. After that, they returned to inactive mode for a few years. Since the Millennium, as a three piece, they have engaged in an instrumental approach and recorded a second album. Currently more electronic, ambient rock.

In which case, we'd be talking about a different Cautivo.

@BU: Cold Hand of Christ can be crossed off; I found an album and it's nu-metal/hard rock: https://www.discogs.com/artist/1801874- ... -Of-Christ


This seems to be more along the lines of hard rock with some heavier metallic tendencies.


This might make the cut. Need to get some more opinions first.

Aye aye capt'n. Thanks!

Pretty hard rocking (mostly), though does have metal influences:

Yeah, what I could find sounded pretty much on the hard rock side. The band released two EPs, but Moyano described them as "hard rock" and "stoner/pop/hard rock", so I'm not trusting them to be metal at all.



Super unlikely. They released a demo in 2008. My Excalibur existed previous to the formation of Leyenda, which was in 1997.



This is enough release proof to submit the band. However, we'll need samples of their music, and none seem to be available online. I've DMed a few people on Discogs. Alternatively, I might have to start messaging people on Facebook.



Seems to be this band. The stuff there sounds more like some sort of AOR with metal influences. Not entirely sure how metal this is from what I could hear.



Two tracks were on their Myspace.



Found samples and VR proof. Submitted. Thanks!



Seems to be the case. This is nowhere near metal, it's basically modern '60s-styles beat rock. Tagged out. Thanks.



These links are useful. I will take a look at these guys in a bit. Thanks!



Thanks. I could try to contact this guy.

These bands are on the NWOBHM list, I don't think they meet the MA requirements, but I have my doubts, so I'll leave it to you to decide.)
These are among others:
NOSTRADAMUS (ID 2654) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYEta6vooMc
ORCHIS (ID 2665) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLSR3Vl7vqg
BORN LOSER (ID 2516) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KX6_XqRMC64

If these videos on "you tube" are not enough to make a decision, I can send samples of all the songs from their demos (ones of the few that I also have digital versions). I don't know if you can find them on "Discogs", but I can include covers of these demos.

I've also noticed that many bands on the NWOBHM list link to the "Nwobhm/Hard Rock-RARE" Facebook page. I consider it a waste of time to research this list further as most of them do not meet the criteria set by the MA. According to these criteria, they are rock, progressive, hard rock bands or have no official releases. For example:

BAD LUCK (ID 2498) – rock/ hard rock
OMEN (ID 2659)- rock
GRACE (ID 2575) - progressive rock
WILDSMITH ST. (ID 2819)- hard rock/ rock
FREEDOM FIGHTER (ID 2566)- rock. Freedom Fighter were a very special Rock Band, was formed in 1980 from the six guys, all sufferers of Muscular Dystrophy
AMAZING PYRAMID (ID 2472) - rock
TOMORROWS DREAM (ID 2772)- They were active under this name from March 1985 until September 1985 when they renamed themselves Edition. Formerly known as the Executioner, whose original drummer was STEVE SHAW, replaced in January 1985 by ANTON HEMMINGS (ex Ovation)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyTOss1ubu8
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICQ6mgLV5og
https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Ex ... 3540493947
WILDER (ID 2818)- rock
BREAKOUT (ID 2518) (1983- 1984) no demos
POLARIZ (ID 2683)- did indeed record a four track demo tape but it was never released as such... It was used for promotion & given to friends & family etc...It contained 3 original songs and one cover.
SCAVENGER (ID 2711) (1979- 1980) no demos
VULCANS HAMMER (ID 2806) (1979- 1980) no demos. The band played but one gig at Castle Hill community centre.
ACID- (ID 2468) (1978- 1980)- no demos recorded
TOPAZ (ID 2773)- recorded one demo -3 song. It was never finished so there is no artwork and only one rough mix on cassette.
MADAME (ID 2621)- rock
PLANET (ID 2679)- didn't do any recordings only live gigs
SNEAK PREVIEW (ID 2731)- rock/ hard rock
and many more

BTW
POLARIS (ID 2682)- described as a band of brothers Mark and Steve Owners has nothing to do with the Polaris from the photo attached to this description. This band in the photo links to (among others) Rankelson (Tim Ranson, Eddie Kelly) (https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Ra ... 3540489803), and Tok-io Rose ( Chris More ) (https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Tok-io_Rose/127599)

Nice. Thank you, Zygmunt.


Could you send me all the songs, please? My email can be found in my profile. Thanks!


That's fair. When I originally assembled the list, I didn't check the bands too closely, especially when it came to the bigger lists. Those were simply imported in their entirety, so a lot of bands can surely be deleted. Please let me know if there are any more that are clearly rock or have been proven to never have released anything valid.


All deleted. I appreciate you including the IDs as well and would ask anyone else to adopt the practice, since it prevents mix-ups and also makes it easier for me to look up the band in the underlying database.


Worth repeating for everyone: Please do not hesitate to make me aware of any errors or potential deletions in the list. It's still a work in progress and due to the manner of its creation it should be viewed more as a block of marble that still needs to have some chunks chipped away rather than a finished sculpture.

Bought the comp.


Bought.

Found all of these on an old wantlist of mine. Evidently not yet posted in this thread, nor listed, nor blacklisted.

Most likely the case, however, I found their music on Spotify and other platforms and it's just industrial rock or outright industrial, depending on the release. There are some metal riffs here and there, but I find this to be very far from acceptable.

You may judge by yourself, though.

Removed.

That'll save me money. Thanks.

Some stuff from South America: as you can see the argentinan scene is still widely unknown (not counting the countless images of demos, cd, ep, tapes of bands already listed).

Can't remember where I found the majority of these images - most of them comes also from FB shops.

You already posted about Braseo, Designio, Penumbra, Carcinoma, Juan Pablo Barbosa, Metanoia, Apologética and Conviction. If you can, please remove those entries and (if necessary) update the original posts with any additional information.

Viuda Negra was also already posted by BuriedUnborn, although it was missing proof of release, so thanks for those pics. He also posted an Argentinian Alquimia as well as Odisea, but who knows if it's the same bands with generic names like that.

Mordant Hate is already listed.

Blacklisted bands (countries match):
Rotten Idea, Morbogore, Anarkitran, Necropodridal Cadaveric, Hate Excretor: grind/punk
Eterna Agonia: nu-metal/hardcore
No Life: ambient (probably the same band? blacklisted in 2016)
Haller: prog rock (probably the same band?)
Nebuxys "don't know what exactly it is, but metal it is not"
Evangelion: no reason given, different band?

Please consider checking the blacklist before posting here.

Could you send me all the songs, please? My email can be found in my profile. Thanks!


Sent. Please check your email.

I already had tabs on these guys, check my huge-ass list.

This CD pictured was released in 2016, seems to be a re-release of stuff recorded in 1993. There are a few songs on YouTube but I can't confirm their origin.

In any case, the band was from Sucre, Chuquisaca, and disbanded in 1997, but they might have reformed later.

Thanks! I've removed Born Loser. Nostradamus sound like they might yet turn out to be acceptable, so I'm leaving them on the list for now. Same for Orchis, really. Drawing this particular line isn't quite my forte, but this band's super raw and heavy hard rock/metal might actually qualify.

Well it says re-release of 1993 recordings and new production, so I guess they reformed during the past years. As far as I can understand, it seems it seems an album which remained unreleased

Here a few links:

https://www.facebook.com/96498778022010 ... 405291334/

here there's what seems a tracklist of a compilation ("Recuerdos del futuro") with some songs of Viuda Negra:

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q ... i=89978449

The only song I could find is this one. They may be just hard rock but it's impossible to say that with just one song

Alto Voltaje: The description mentions a demo cassette, with the first song taken from it. The rest doesn't sound metal, but I'll keep them on for the demo. Needs more proof of VR and ideally more samples from the demo. Also, ID 473 = ID 3591?

Prinks: Some mention of recording a demo, but as far as I could tell nothing explicit about a valid release.

Sacrilegio: Either way, this can be taken off, since all requirements for a potential submission are fulfilled.

From La Paz, formed in 1984, disbanded in 1989. Released a 4-song tape, then later a CD which was released in Chile. Might have also released a remastered CD in 2018. We'll need more samples, there's only one track here that sounds metal and that's just based on a riff before it's cut off.

Members:
- Miguel Ángel "Maick" Ross (Bass)
- Victor Hugo Meave (Drums)
- Miguel Angel Bustillos (Guitars)
- Heiky Montesinos (Guitars)
- Gustavo Silvetty (Vocals)
- Miguel Carvajal (Guitars, Keyboards)



Might be called "Prink's" actually. They were from La Paz, formed in 1985. They recorded a one-track demo in 1985, the one linked above, and it sounds mostly metal. Will need VR. By 1989 they switched to a hard rock style more similar to Heart or Pat Benatar when they introduced a female vocalist.

Members:
- Javier Monterrey (Bass, 1985-1989)
- Ramiro Chincheros (Drums, 1985-1989)
- Antonio Kierig (Lead guitars, 1985-1989)
- Juan Cota (Rhythm guitars, 1985-1989)

Here there is an article talking about the links between Alto Voltaje and Sacrilegio: it seems that Miguel Angel Ross Mollard (leader of Alto Voltaje) formed a band called La Rosa with Walter Orlan Dugonich (maybe Walter Krpan?) and they recorded a 4-songs demo in 1989. But it's said it's heavyrock and glam

https://revistarockboliviano.blogspot.c ... chive.html


There is also a long interview and an image of the Alto Voltaje 4-sogs demo but with no tracklist. It seems 7 songs in total were recorded of the planned 10, but only 4 appeared on the demo (which ones?). Somewhere else, I think in that youtube link given above, it is said it was re-released in Chile on tape and Lp (!) and he was working on a new remastering for a proper CD re-release

Groggy's Crawl could probably be removed from the list. It was listed on eBay by someone (knowledgeable in metal) that tagged it as "hard rock alt rock metal". If decided it should stay on the list, band members are visible in the auction photos -

Just saying, this band seems to have everything needed for a submission, so if you think they're metal, submit them:



Most of the tracks were also released on CD:

Removed Groggy's Crawl, probably not worth pursuing.
