Holywars (Switzerland) can probably be removed. Between the release that used to be available on Spotify and the review, likely enough that they can be added. Posted them in that thread.

Needs research. - Brutal Death
Genre: Death Metal
Location: Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria

GVA (New Mexico, US) -
pre- https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Ca ... 3540353300
GVA stood for Gabe, Vince, Augustine. Demo artwork: https://imgur.com/a/2QhfWJZ
Track listing: Swing Star/ Groovie Do Me/ Mean Fucker/ Black Exercise/ Seven Heavies
https://metalarea.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=244353
The release is currently on the Carrion Kind M.A. page, where it doesn't belong. I put in a report for it to be deleted.
https://www.metal-archives.com/albums/C ... GVA/354604
- Confirmed from the Carrion Kind Facebook page (response to a message) that it had a DIY CD pressing, and was downloadable online also at the time.
Description at The Thrash Metal Guide:
The music is, needless to add, virtuoso-prone alternating many various tempos throughout although to these ears the better material is the less varied, more coherent one like the almost meditative "Groovie Do Me", and the stripped-down thrasher "Mean Fucker". "Black Exercise" is a very cool dramatic technicaller, the sheer highlight here, and the final "Seven Heavies" is an up-tempo roller-coaster with great impetuous shreds and a few nice melodic tunes. Well, it doesn't look like these guys are of such a dire need of a vocalist.

(reminder: all of the bands that I've been posting links for today, beginning with A and will be ending with L have reviews on The Thrash Metal Guide. You may also find (possible) information, such as their country of origin here, though not always accurate. http://thethrashmetalguide.com/ING-IZ.html While bands that it's obvious have a valid release like a Spotify or Bandcamp release I'm posting in 'to-be-submitted' thread and stating here that they can be removed, some of the other bands that I've posted multiple links for may have enough info to submit also. Today I'm simply providing relevant links that are found, but not carefully looking through all of them.

INVEIGH (US) - Demo 1991
https://metalarea.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=305871
(other than the unusual word, probably not related to Inveigh Catharsis, the pre-Body Pit band whose demo wasn't released officially? Song titles mentioned in the review don't match any of the I.C. demo titles)


IRRITATOR (Ukraine) -

KARDANNUI VAL - band's name is Карданный Вал - should be changed on the main list. Their release name from 1995 is titled "Все В Сад!" (review gives a translated title)

Krypta (US) can be removed. It's another one that circulated for a long time with information of the wrong country. The demo being referred to in the review is by the Brazilian band Kripta, who are on the site.

Kongregation can also be removed. It was added a few weeks ago.
https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Ko ... 3540529193


Law of the Vital Few is on Bandcamp, and can be removed as well.

Igneous is already listed: https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Igneous/3540420646

LETHAL VOLTAGE (Canada) - not sure if either of these are valid for digital releases:
https://lethalvoltage.bandcamp.com/album/2011-demo (white square for artwork)

Hungarian band Neurotrend plays Nu-metal and should be removed.
https://soundcloud.com/neurotrend

Have sent author of The Thrash Metal Guide, Bayern a pm seeing if there's any further information on 25 A-L bands that nothing turned up for on Google, which no additional links were posted about here today. I think that Paganius already went through the M-Z bands and added links when possible (?), so going to give this a rest. Will post if I hear back with more information about the bands that I asked about in the pm.

Hungarian band Obfuscate is already listed on the site.
https://www.metal-archives.com/albums/O ... nts/107152

Hungarian band Phaidon has samples on their youtube and sounds like grungy alt rock.
https://www.youtube.com/@phaidonofficial/videos

Thunder Force can be removed - audio found on YouTube.

I think the Slang from the hungarian list is actually stylized as S.L.A.N.G.. If so, the band has a discogs but is described as glam rock.

The final hungarian band i could find substantial links to is Womb. And it's hardcore, so it should be removed. I've gone through the hungarian list to the best of my abilities and will probably look at the seattle metal online stuff next.

- songs were posted by Randy Jaymz, who may be able to answer if they released a tape.

Ordered this too.

I think 'Bleed/Crawl' is just Crawl, formerly known as Bleed. Already on the website.

Romanian band 'Aquila' EP in full on youtube. Don't know if it's metal enough to pursue finding proof of valid release.
https://youtu.be/AOIBcR8daa0?si=5Rs60J-ysaLmJax6

Whole demo in full on YouTube. It's valid death/thrash despite low quality.

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

Not metal. - Rechteck

Moment of Truth can be removed. It likely referred to the New York band that's already listed. Thanks.

Going through the seattle list:
Ash and the Widowmakers: Found a soundcloud with tracks from a three song demo. Sounds like Rock.
https://soundcloud.com/ryanroullard/set ... akers-demo

Artist to Icon: AKA Artist 2 icon, has a discogs listing with a single entry on a punk comp. Three tracks available on the archive. Sounds like punk.
https://www.discogs.com/artist/7335566-Artist-2-Icon
https://archive.org/details/iuma-artist ... elease.mp3

Blight: Probably the blight in the linked discogs. Only release is from Seattle. Punk.
https://www.discogs.com/release/3678691-Blight-Blight

Cellfight: recorded a three track demo and had another single (which is on youtube). Sounds like rock and is self described as such.
https://web.archive.org/web/20030412221 ... m/band.htm
https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=uUfHmHh7T_A

Drawn in blood was apparently horror punk.

This was all i could find for bands A-D. I'm noticing a lot of similarities between this and the powerslave list. I imagine most of the seattle bands were added back in the day and ever since. Should this just be pruned like the powerslave list?

Probably, I'll have a think on this tomorrow. You can hold off on going through it for now.

Needs research. - Adversus Dominum
Location: Colombia
Genre: Doom/Death Metal
- Newer band, one to check back on in a couple months. Just one digital single out so far that I know of, and they were on the "In Colombia... Sometimes Doom Is Better Vol. 3" compilation with the same track. Mentions a full-length album is in the works.

Coma (Moldova) is actually Coma from Romania, and it's already catalogued.

Source mentions split with L.S.D. and links to this split which is probably the origin of confusion:


It is obviously the same thing as Coma (Romania) - Social Coma EP:

Heraldika (Lithuania) - this one has a valid release (listed on discogs), but no samples.

Managed to find a live in studio video:


I'd certainly qualify it as "metal" judging by the 3 tracks they played. Is this enough to add them now?

Dustas (Lithuania) and Nuodai (Lithuania) is actually one band Dustas-Nuodai.

And they are punk.

Xp-Reactor on discogs and VK. Borderline, but could be metal enough?
https://www.discogs.com/artist/5573296-XP-Reactor
https://vk.com/xpreactor1

Dykuma (Lithuania) is on HMR.
They are surely metal, but can't find any definite evidence of that demo being an actual release. It sounds like a rough rehearsal...

Submitted. Definitely metal!

Needs research. - Shine Dark
Location: Essen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany
Genre: Heavy Metal/Hard Rock
Members: https://www.metal-archives.com/artists/ ... ritt/67832 (guitars)
Tobby (vocals), Olly (guitars), Frank (bass), Chris (drums). The Corroseum mentions Olaf Klas as their only known member, but he may have just been a 'zine contact name. No instrument is assigned to him there.

https://thecorroseum.org/features/germanmetal/index.php

Underground Empire ('extra info' in upper right provides more):
https://www.underground-empire.com/review.php?idx=9599
- Here it is described as heavy rock. They did several recordings in addition to their "The Way to Heaven" demo, though, and on YouTube some songs are heavier than others.
