Alright, Kasakit's VR seems to be covered.

Also 'All To Human' is a misspelling of 'All Too Human', already on the site.

Ritual, the band that Miro posted today is listed already (a name that Hanz Krypt went by briefly):
https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Ritual/3540519197


Heptafy (Brazil), posted here yesterday, is listed on M.A. as being a name change of https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Ep ... ab_members , and the name translates to heptáfio / epitaph. Not sure if it would be considered a minor name change of Epitaph, in which case the release could be added to that page (and the page should be renamed, with Epitaph being an alt. spelling).

Hmm, I think Kasakit was listed and removed? It's in both the removal thread and old appeal thread, but not on the blacklist?

Here's the corrected Discogs link for Jack Hammer Ape, in order to be placed in want list and considered for purchase (replaced it in the original post where the link for another band, also in the research list, had been): https://www.discogs.com/release/9772063 ... r-Ape-Demo

Dustbin (Japan #10611) also featured on this five band compilation tape given away 'free' (effectively included in the ticket price) at an event organised by Tiger Driver Records for their Thrash/Hardcore bands at the time:

https://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/p1115857489

Not entirely sure of the date, but must have been between 1994 and 1997 as Miscreant Invocation (https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Mi ... tion/28484) changed their name after that.

Nah, as with "CD", "demo-tape" is sometimes used as a generic term for demos in general and doesn't say anything about whether this was actually circulated on tape. Not gonna cut it.

Z (Italy) has been listed in here for a while. The original post includes band member names from the tiny print in the Discogs photos: viewtopic.php?f=17&t=104654&p=3010933&hilit=weight+of+metal#p3010933

Looks like I didn't learn from the first time. The original post wasn't included in research list (or possibly has been wiped off since then), any reason for this?

It's okay. Such a huge list, stuff like that will definitely happen. It seems to have gotten replaced with the new link, but that's okay - I will add band member information to your post. Hopefully the audio of that cassette will turn up soon.

Regarding Guilty (US - "First Offense" 1993 demo recently listed), members Scott Horstkamp and Mike Newby (vocals and drums, respectively) more recently play in the Hyattsville, Maryland band Inside the Greed: https://www.reverbnation.com/insidethegreed . Discogs contributor waykoolrecords listed Guilty as heavy metal, which may be the case, but his definition of the genre leans more toward hard rock than that of this site. Inside the Greed member Gary Norris leaves his personal FB page as contact info for this project, and may be able to help with contacting Scott or Mike. https://www.facebook.com/boardwalk69 .

The list is missing Resin from that post as well. They're still open, right?

I found the audio sample and submitted the band. It's still on the queue, so everything's gone right by now.

Gotcha.

Regarding Anchored Soul (Canada), one or more members went on to play in the Edmonton-based band Original Violence ( https://rawartists.com/originalviolenceband ), assuming it is the same Canadian Anchored Soul (probably very likely to be the case).

Strutter (Kitzingen, Bavaria, Ger) - 7" review:
https://www.underground-empire.com/review.php?idx=17842
(melodic hard rock with keyboards is all that can really be taken from that review.)
'additional-info' box (easy to miss, but often a valuable source of info on the Underground-Empire site) reveals that vocalist Chris Weddig and guitarist Ralf Link later started a band called Life 2.0. Strutter's release here would have been from 1994 or earlier. Likely not worth pursuing.

Bastardizer (Canada) - demo 2009 review:
https://ia800309.us.archive.org/3/items ... ssue07.pdf
"There is a lot of excitement around BASTARDIZER in these parts. They are a new local 5-piece outfit featuring members of the ENDLESS BLOCKADE and RAMMER, among others. The band sounds like one part HELLSHOCK, one part TRAGEDY. Heavy Portland core. Brutally disturbing in all the right ways."


Patriotes (Sainte-Cécile-de-Masham, Quebec, Canada) shouldn't be confused with Quebec band
https://facebook.com/photo/?fbid=970484 ... 0029601839 (though Discogs links Jean Gravel as a member - not correct). These are younger guys that did the '93 cassette. Member wearing a Blaylok shirt is a good sign.
