A few edits that could be made to the list:
- Anxiety (101) and Anxiety (139) aren't the same band. One is from Colorado, and the other is from Georgia (so the additional note could be edited to say 'not the same band as'.. instead of 'same as..?'
- Magic Theatre is the same band that the Discogs link note has there. Going to look just a little further into them before requesting them to be removed, though at this point not looking promising.
- Both listings of Loaded (Amethyst list) can be removed. Only thing being found is the German band that The Corroseum describes as a dull AC/DC soundalike. Vague name to go off of if it refers to a different band. While the Amethyst list has had a few obscure metal gems on it, the majority of those bands are rock.

Wet Paint (Italy) can be removed. 2 members:
https://www.metal-archives.com/artists/ ... oni/634101
https://www.metal-archives.com/artists/ ... ino/335936
Somewhere I read that they played rock, not metal.



Night Stalker (UK, band featured on The Friday Rock Show) can be removed. They're the band listed on the site, I confirmed with one of their former members.


Crime Inc. can be removed - rock. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-5OZtntw-4


Demonic Force (NJ, US) - There's not really anything else to research about it. Member Chris Hawkins said that back in the day only the members had copies of the 1988 demo. He personally made it available for download on the Heavy Metal Rarities site, and sends mp3s to anyone who asks about it via email, though (sent it to me about a week ago after inquiring).
https://heavymetalrarities.com/forum/vi ... #gsc.tab=0
So, in a way he has made the demo available to the public by request and on the HMR forum.
All that's needed in the case of this band is a decision if that makes the release valid, or if they should be removed from the list.

Harm: sounds like a mix of groove metal/Alt/Hard Rock. Genre is nu-metal on discogs. Not sure if it's worth pursuing.

Invective: Another borderline band, probably on the unacceptable side. Metalcore/Groove/Thrash. Not progressive metal at all as the list describes.

- Active during the late '80s/early '90s. There are several songs and photos on YouTube, uploaded by one of their members. It's mentioned that songs are from a demo.
Facebook page of the uploader: https://www.facebook.com/Alexander.Ehrensperger
(maybe best that someone who speaks German contact him about releases).

Yes.

Regarding Fear Itself (Washington State, US) - User PUK said that he acquired their demo in a pm from a couple of months ago. Haven't heard back after returning the message (which was several weeks after it had been sent), but last I knew he frequents Discord. Maybe someone on there could ask him for the tracks to determine if the band should be added? They have a valid release: https://www.discogs.com/release/2736071 ... ear-Itself

The Screaming Ameebas
Location: Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, England

"Scars of Youth": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuJbRz1ReHc

Should be fine.

(about Demonic Force) - Thanks. Have passed it on to the 'to-be-submitted' thread, and it can be removed.

Innerpiece (Canada) was added to the site yesterday, and can be removed.

Landfish (Canada) was submitted today / can be removed.

SST - Too vague. Best to remove it.

Street Urchin, also - probably the same band listed on the site (the Amethyst list has a lot of UK bands). Just haven't come across details about a 1988 demo from them yet.

Damage, Inc. (Norway) was added to the site recently - can be removed from the list.

These 3 Canadian bands were submitted today, and can be removed:
- Lie Among Us
- Life Before Last
- Last Call Chernobyl

Just a reminder that I scrubbed through bands H-L on the 'Ondes Chocs' list, and can be removed accordingly to the posts I made here.

Stormer - more info: https://lostinlocalmusic.wordpress.com/ ... real-deal/

Arctic Rain (Russia) seem metal enough and has a digital album distributed through major retailers. Submitted.

Pretty Poison - doesn't sound hopeful.
https://thecorroseum.org/rev/pretty-poison-10.php

Thrill - produced by Rod Bowers. Chuck Surack co-produced the A-side. They had a management company that was based in Wayne, Indiana (Main Street Productions). Could have been from around that area. One of the songs was recorded at Piggies II Lounge.

Sabotage (Texas) - might have a chance from the A-side:
https://soundcloud.com/rick-michelena/hell-raiser-1
A bit like early Priest. The B-side is on this same SoundCloud page, not metal at all. These 2-song 7" bands are usually given the benefit of the doubt for one convincing track.

Panzer - record label is out of San Jose, California. Songwriting credits - Oldham / Johnson. Oldham is likely James Oldham, who has an Executive Producer credit.

Rage - Boston, Massachusetts band. Likely not worth pursuing. https://youtu.be/iWAt5e3JpLc?feature=shared

Thin Ice - recording studio used was located in Beaumont, Texas.

Bill Opland - in the Schaumburg, Illinois area nowadays.

Bravado - songwriters are Stokes / Ellis. Vague description that someone posted on 45cat site:
"This is a good New Wave Of British Heavy Metal / N.W.O.B.H.M. / Prog Rock single with some great guitar solos."

The Canadian band Directions apparently had a YouTube and Bandcamp, but both are no longer. They really wanted to scrub this from the internet. Found a track on Soundcloud. Sounds like unacceptable metalcore.
https://soundcloud.com/directionsband705

Blacked Out Hatred was already listed.
https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Bl ... 3540332148

Could a mod weigh in on 'Desolace'? Like I said two, lengthy, downloadable tracks on Bandcamp which both have the same art. One of them however is on Soundcloud with different art, and is still downloadable. Is this valid enough to warrant submission? Otherwise there's no VR and it looks like the band is done with.

https://soundcloud.com/desolace-band
https://desolace.bandcamp.com/track/cha ... phlegethon

I'd say no.

Well, yes, Black Sabbath played like that on their early albums. Is this illegal now, young man?

Of course, I understand that I'm an old fool and don't understand about music.

Music and lyrics by Onno Vangilder.

Terminal 2 - within the UK, the record is fairly affordable on Discogs.

(sent mp3s of the full Black Magic EP to Azmodes earlier today.)

Blitzkrieg Boogie Band -
Guitarist/vocalist Paul McGilley might be the London musician by that name who's been in two German AC/DC tribute bands more recently / currently. Looks as though he doesn't have his own FB page, but maybe someone there could assist.

National Gold - quite a lot of information can be found, and it looks like some of their music may have been released under the name Dave Edwards. Needs to be looked at more thoroughly, but at a glance sounds like solid blues-based rock that wouldn't be accepted onto the site. The band toured with Rory Gallagher. The 7" in question is from 1981, but they were still playing live in 1993, so likely that more releases than just the 7" should be assessed.

Deveined from Canada can be removed. I messaged the facebook page and confirmed they never released anything. No VR.

Brody (Japan) - Song "Street Rowdy" on "Heavy Metal Force" compilation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omCKIZhXzfU (a bit of the AC/DC sound with vocals that sound "different").

Slicker (Illinois) -
- drummer Carmen Ingurgio also played in No Limit: https://www.facebook.com/NoLimitShyboy
- guitarist Kerry Moy, further info: http://www.smooth-jazz.de/Artists1/Moy.html


Sixty Nine (California, US) - one song here on 2 different YT channels:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfIMFGMQXNM
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkRZWnVO7rc
- commercial rock/metal, not very promising for the site. 2 songs remain unheard.


Vengeance (Illinois) - 4 songs are here, but they aren't the ones on the release in question:
https://www.reverbnation.com/markodette/songs
One more here, a compilation track called "Inside Your Dreams": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJbYAm4hh7o
More "commercial" hard rock for the most part. I tried messaging David Shankle on Facebook before about another band, Lunacy, that are in the research list, but received no response. That will probably be a futile effort. Maybe Luis Morales of Phantom Reign is the same drummer in this band:

Popsike / old auction archive that has a couple of additional photos of the record on Discogs: https://www.popsike.com/VENGEANCE-MARK- ... 58050.html


Zeus - according to an old eBay listing, they were from Chicago, Illinois.

High Risk - A-side, "The See'er" can be streamed on the SoundCloud page of Jeff Quinn. Good song. Could see it likely requiring the B-side audio for site inclusion, though.

Jeff is on Facebook, and could be asked for the other song and further details about the band: https://www.facebook.com/jeff.quinn.963
Though he's based in Colorado according to FB, 2 clues have pointed to the possibility that the band were from North Carolina.


High Altitude - member Rod Downing's Facebook page (though maybe not of worth, since the last post was in 2016).
https://www.facebook.com/rod.downing.5/
To note, he still seems to be involved with the Seattle music scene from looking at a couple of other websites.
