Update? Still on the list.

Glaucoma from Brazil has several tracks online, some can be downloaded from their reverbnation, and some appear with a cover that says 'Civil War'. I'm sure the tracks on reverbnation are their own demo and are VR, but I'd like more details like a title and confirmation. Messaged the facebook but no guarantees.

Now, just a personal consideration about the possible existence of some albums

I remember while I was in Nepal last winter that I found a band.... Vibrato, one of the recognized heavy metal band from that country. There was one photo available online and some samplers posted by the band itself or by some nepali fan on YT.
I submitted it to MA and it was accepted.
A couple of days later a western collector posted the same exact image of that album with the same information I provided (till then nobody was aware of that band) claiming he has that copy. Strangely enough he used the same photo that circulated on nepalese closed FB groups only (which I belong to) and created a page on Discogs claiming to have it. And the collector who created that page is definitively not from Nepal. Moreover there were more photos of that tape in that nepali FB group showing the inner cover and the tape itself but as he sourced the only photo he found here on MA (because we can't post more than 1 photo per album) he couldn't be aware of more angles/details of it. It happens really often that collectors take random photos here and there, create a page on discogs (often even putting a random format such as CD-R to justify it, or just copying information taken elsewhere) claiming to have it. In the case of Trilogiya they just used an image that even has the logo of xzona.net.ru, a downloadable russian website which watermarks most of the uploads. And he claims to have it as cd-r. With the xzona logo on it? mmmmmm....

So, when I see just front pictures or, like in the case above regarding the nepalese band, I highly doubt when I see "1 has it".... at least not in a physical form. Most of times users on Discogs use other people's source and claim to have it just to look cool.

Anyway, in the case of Trilogiya, it's clear that the picture is taken from a notorious downloadable website, xzona.net.ru ... there's even the logo on the cover. And no other proofs of a physical form or whatever. And, at this point one must check if it was spreaded on acceptable downloadable platforms rather than spending time to check proofs of a physical release. Even because till now there is no proof at all of a physical release of their two albums. And not even official platforms which can be counted as "official"

Got in touch with someone on Discogs and they sent me the files for both '00y 18' EPs. Sound metal, and will submit.

Insane Sanity - symphonic/melodic death metal (Found digital demo, I will submit them)
https://insanesanityofficial.bandcamp.c ... anity-demo

Orital (RIP 2013) - They released an EP in 2012. They updated their Facebook in July 2023, I sent them a message asking if they have a digital release of the CD. Physical CD-R:

samples:



Our Own Demise - It seems they have artwork for an mentioned EP release but no VR proof or samples.

Cadaverine: Two tracks on reverbnation, demo/promo stuff. Going off inactivity and a lack of material on the bandcamp page, I'd say the band is done with and never put anything worthwhile out.
https://www.reverbnation.com/cadaverinemtl

Call Of Saints: Extremely sparse facebook. Probably never recorded anything.
https://www.facebook.com/CallOfSaints/about

Camalus: Tracked for a demo, but no indication it came out. Band is split up, will ask for clarification.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1tX7OlMWgQ

Cephalysm: nothing, dead link, search gives me nothing.

Cerberia: Old facebook is dead but it looks like they made a new one and are recording new material. Check back on this one.

Chainsaw Armageddon: Sounds like downtuned beatdown hardcore, not metal.

https://www.reverbnation.com/close2hell

I found two songs on YouTube and also an e-mail address. I'm going to send him a message.

Clotix: Nada.

Cold Anger: Dead facebook. Put out a 5 song demo (which I'm assuming are the tracks on reverbnation). No VR as they aren't downloadable. Sounds more like rock than metal.

Needs research. - Attila
Location: Philippines
Discography: 2 songs on "Sigaw Ng Kamalayan" Compilation Tape 1995

https://www.discogs.com/it/release/5062 ... -Kamalayan

Despite what it's said in the description, all the other bands are totally away from death/thrash: they are punk.

But there are many local punk compilation with 1-2 death/thrash bands in them, so this may be the case. The name sounds interesting but there are no samplers for Attila.


Needs research. - Scum
Location: Philippines (Cebu, if i remember well)
Music genere: Grindcore / Death
Discography: Rehearsal Demo 1992; 5 songs on "Themes of Madness" Compilation Tape 1995

https://www.metal-archives.com/albums/D ... ess/891121

Scum were a sort of cult band back at the time and in many local forums people say to have their rehearsal demo. Never seen any photo of it. And there are no audio sources from the compilation/split tape which was released by the guys of Death After Birth


Needs research. - Posthumous
Location: Philippines
Music genere: Death Metal
Discography: 3 songs on "Themes of Madness" Compilation Tape 1993

https://www.metal-archives.com/albums/D ... ess/891121

Posthumous were one of the earliest death metal bands in the Philippines. Except the songs from this compilation (which can be found nowhere except for the photo I found long time ago), there are no audio sources available

https://www.discogs.com/it/release/1464 ... ng-Nalalim

No idea about the kind of music they play. Askals are already included on MA while B.O.K. are punk. The above mentioned bands are unknown and unavailable online

I spoke to the 'Bonded By Strength' facebook and they said they should be releasing material in 1-2 months. Check back on later note would be nice.

I got a response back, No music was ever released other than YouTube.

Dancing Dead: one single on youtube. Studio update on facebook but it's in french. Probably broke up before it could come out like many of these other bands. Sent a message asking for clarification.

Darkmill: Grindcore/Crust. Sounds riffy to me but borderline.

Deny the Evidence: More core than metal.

I found the full album. This can be submitted.

Hard Rock - Hi Voltage
Location: Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan
Listed Genre: Heavy Metal
Discography: ‘Hi Voltage’(Demo tape, ‘90’s, 4 songs)

Mad Rocker (or at least one of them) actually feature in the 1984 Japanese movie 'Majoran' about the Metal/Rock/Biker Gang scene in '80's Osaka (as 'マッドロッカー’, which is just the name in Japanese katakana characters). As you can see here, he's even wearing the same jacket as the 'Metal Forces' photo: https://i.imgur.com/ZI3aJep.png
I believe its just a PR shot and don't believe the band provide any of the music tracks though. Those are mostly done by Presence, Loudness and Majoran themselves, all already listed here, of course.

Don't get them mixed up with Kyoji Yamamoto (Bow Wow)'s second band 'Mad Rocker' from about the same time either. They were based in Matsue and more Blues Rock: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLbM9pj4w3k

Edit: There is a live set on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/@YOSHIKI1962196 ... B%E3%83%BC
Seems to be the right band - it's in Osaka and the drummer is called Hiro. doesn't really help in knowing hther there's a valid release though.

Facing the Comet: Bah, last post shows recording in progress with nothing out as of now. Will message but the band likely broke up before they could release anything. Not finding anything on music sites.

Fadeless: Grunge/Rock.
https://www.reverbnation.com/fadeless/songs

Fall of Gabriel: aka The Fall of Gabriel. This is a rare case where there's definitely a VR but I cannot find samples of the music. Described as metalcore and has a teaser on youtube. From the samples it sounds pretty chuggy and hardcore/alt rock. Not sure if it's worth pursuing, doesn't to me.
https://www.discogs.com/release/2491363 ... Of-Silence

Fall of the Dead: No results on Bandcamp, Discogs, Apple Music, Reverb, Soundcloud. Dead facebook. Search doesn't give me much.

False Flag Heroes: Straddles the industrial line pretty hard. Metal at times, electronic at others. No VR as i can tell. Will ask for more details but the music doesn't give me much hope.
https://www.reverbnation.com/falseflagheroes/songs

Fanachronic: Metal, but only streaming tracks on reverb. No VR.

Farewell Pluto: Reverbnation describes the band as rock/garage. But this reverb lists the band as Vancouver, whereas the list says Montreal and progressive metalcore. Facebook no longer under the band name.

Ragged Lace has a discogs page but only appears on one compilation. The track sounds metal, but I doubt much else was recorded. All searches mostly lead back to the compilation they appear on.
https://www.rassoodock.com/data-pages/s ... edlace.mp3
https://www.discogs.com/artist/3291361-Ragged-Lace

Ragged Lace doesn't have information about a discography outside of that compilation track available online at the moment, but would like to ask their members or others who would know if they'd put out anything more back then that there isn't documentation of readily available online right now (like Jackal on the same comp; demo release confirmed, in process of acquiring track listing). Raven Mad on that comp is in the same boat. One of my friends is in the process of doing a 'deep dive' into obscure mid-'80s San Diego heavy metal, and I should be getting more music and info about some bands from him soon as he speaks with members. There are a lot of releases that can only be found out about by asking members or local people that remember. One of the things that sets this site apart from others is that we do the research, check under the rock and regularly exhume rare pieces by taking it a step further, and the cutoff point isn't limited to what can be found on a Google search.

I understand, and I apologize if I've been too eager with some of these bands.

Fanachronic: Confirmed to have no VR.
