This update counts on impressive amount of old pending recordings, some to check, some to get from proper sources. Here it lies, on the cradle of some baby during a wedding party somewhere in time during extreme boredom and drunkess, the vomiiiitttt , it will chase you on your deepest und ugliest dreams of rape and torture , but will be happily summarised in a beautful kick in the face of some greedy politician or piggy cop or brainless preacher: POWERLORD(US) - The Awakening 1986, bootleg tape. Spectacular Speed/Thrash/Power Metal from US in the very vein of ANNIHILATOR(Can) and NASTY SAVAGE(US) and some SLAYER(US) on "Masters of Death" track which also lead me to "Depth of Death" by SENTINEL BEAST(US), it took me quite a good time to get at least a proper audio from this, I lost the opportunity to buy the CD reissued by Shadow Kingdom Recs and now appears to be at very stupid high prices. I have not too much to add since the description is quite asserted in my opinion, expect fantastic solos. My favs are "Malice" , "The Invasion of the lords", "Merciless Titans" and "(The Awakening) Powerlord" but the whole LP is consistent and short so totally enjoyable on its full completeness. Don't know them? don't even hesitate on giving them a listen! Старый Город (Rus) - Старый Город 2011, this is a double CD compilation I still don't have anything more than a rip. Interesting Heavy Metal band, in the vein of Маркиза (Rus) and its first track ist just like Мастер (Rus) . It 's a little bit more heavy than Маркиза and little bit more obscure. I think is another one of those interesting female-vox projects I needed to get. You can feel an ACID (Bel) vibe here and there but her vocals are pretty strong. Those words are for the first CD. The second one, the female voice was replaced by a guy who is not bad but the music changed quite completely, little bit of Speed Metal involved but still HM influenced by the british wave, LED ZEPPELIN(UK), DEEP PURPLE(UK), SAXON(UK), BLACK SABBATH (UK) ,etc . It's impressive the sound quality and execution for what seems to be a live recording, well it is a live album. Interesting fact is that this killer guitar player was the same in KRUGER (Rus) , named Hammer. So I got clear that Natalia was the vox on the second album whilst the first one (second CD) is a guy and those live recordings were their first live album. I wish I could buy from Maximum Records, I need some stuff from there, so anyone willing to help, throw me an email ! BATTLEFIELD(Ger) - We come to Fight 1987 MLP, bootleg, This was one of the first Thrash Metal acts with female vocals I have ever known but never realised this was such a difficult recording to acquire. Luckily I was able to get the damned original rip after more than a decade! Those who don't know this project, well this is an spectacular SLAYER(GER) and ASSASSIN(Ger) combination with their own german touch. Since its powerful "We come to Fight" track begins, you know your brains are going to be smashed. Then you will surrender under the blade of "Nuclear Death" and "Knock on your door" , catchy choruses and dynamic production, this is what you'll find on the first side of this MLP. The vocalist Conny has an spectacular tune and when screams and her tune breaks it's pure delightfulness. "Grave of the unknown" opens the second side , good machinegun samples on the chorus which generates the effect of agression on the listener. "Possessed Preacher" closes this short and effective recording. Highly recommended for any kind of Thrash Metal worshiper. WARDANCE(Ger) - Crucifixion MLP 1988 , bootleg. Another german attack with female vocalist in the line of BATTLEFIELD(Ger) , RUNNING WILD(Ger) and HELLOWEEN(Ger) from 1984 Death Metal LP era, METALLICA(US) and ZNOWHITE(US). "Crucifixion" is an acoustic classical music intro followed by "Neverending Nightmare", which is a killer track to start with this MLP. "Chonda's Dream" is more arpeggio kind of track , slower but goes pretty well with the vocalist, in the IRON MAIDEN(UK) 's line, then has a short doublebass drumming which ressembles to VIOLENT FORCE(Ger) . "Killing Snow" starts with more arpeggio-classical approach, drumming totally takes you to the VIOLENT FORCE vibe. Here we conclude with side A. "Don't play with fire" opens side B, good track, not outsanding. "Friday the 13th" is horrifyingly garbage and the next two tracks, "Ernst Neger und seine moshenden Eierachander" and "Outro: Fuck Off" are just there to fill the space gap. Sadly this side leaves you with the idea this is full crap but the first tracks are quite great. Definately this recording deserves to be checked but not to become obssessed. addition: after more listenings, I ended up coping with "Friday the 13th" so overall pretty good MLP. ICE AGE(Swe) - General Alert 1987 Demo , dubbed tape, this begins as a totally obscure Thrash Metal act, its distortion on guitars sounds quite Russian in fact so expect METALLICA (US) influences, and the chorus on "General Alert" first track "this means war" reminded me of something else I cannot recall fuk (is not TANK(UK) ) [update: was it NOCTURNUS(US) again ? ] ... the vocalist is hugely weird because she sings as if it were a Heavy Metal project but this one along with "Mental Disorder" track, are like Technical Thrash Metal. This is a female project on its whole. This side is killer, I know is quite difficult at first listen but then it just cracks your skull, these girls probed they were totally skilled. Side B begins with "Abducation at night" , the spectrum of (death? ) influences got totally inverted, you can think of DIO(US) and ROCK GODDESS(UK) . When "Into the danger zone" WARLOCK(Ger) influences on the voice becomes clearer , here, Sabrina's tune is excellent. Even though I wish all tracks on this side were thrashier, these are not bad at all. "A case of cerebral Death" extinguishes the last milimetres of tape. Highly recommended. ICE AGE(Swe) - Demo '88, dubbed tape, this is little bit more technical, in the very same line of the thrash metal tracks from previous demo, on first track I can find ressemblance to INVOKATOR(Dnk) , "In the name of Science" THEY DIE! is excellent! and "The Betrayal" starts as if it were a LIVING COLOR (US) track from "Vivid" LP era, quite interesting. Definately a nice recommendation by my friend Denis, thank you pal for all your shares! MORTEM(Rus) - Born by Evil demo 1991, independent, Death Metal/Thrash Metal from Russia in the 90s vein but with the almost-line-sharping-axe guitar tune from the previous decade. The vocals are totally deep but not dull growls, russianvodka-ish ones. The project itself is not a fast one , it even has some HELLHAMMER(Swi) , SODOM(Ger) influences, mid-tempo, pretty killer demo that also took me 10 years to fukin get it. Терминатор (Rus) - Запись в Клубе Кожевников 13.12.92 . this recording begin just like "Dawn of eternity" riff from MASSACRE(US) but later mutates into the russia sphere from the 90s , I thought of MISCREANT(Rus) and also DISPENSARY(Rus) . Not too much to add , Запись в Клубе Кожевников 20.06.92 counts on a more live sounding, more thrashy, more russia from their previous USSR times. Of course that is what makes this stuff more interesting but is not that outstanding. Anyway, have you ever heard of this project? recommended for diggers! Терминатор (Rus) - Охота на Ведьм Studio Demo 05.92 , this is a much better recording, now you can hear the echo on some phrases, panned guitars, I can think of KRÜGER(Rus) in a slower manner and thrashier due to its not barking screams at all. The fact that this is from 1992 and the insert shows it was released in 1998 seems quite weird, I presume this was quite exhumed... did no one care about releasing this stuff before? Again, not outstanding, for diggers only! Сукина Дочь (Rus) - По сучьему веленью 2013, by Possession records from Belarus, I always thought newer generations of russian thrashers forgot their ways from early stages of thrashing distortion during dictatorship times. Well, these occult bastards created such a bunch of noise with SODOM(GER) influences among their russian accent mixed with Brazilian shit ala SARCOFAGO(Bra) that your brain will collide into volkanik torments... first track is like "Burst command til war" whilst the following is into "Black Vomit" . What's so appealing from them to me? Did you check their logo? Swastika with a jewish star plus the communist logo? what the fuk is this fuk? What are the chants ala Клиника (Rus) on the beginning of their third track with those thrashing riffs . Did you check the effects on vocals, the environment, the wholeness of this unknown insanity? Have you ever checked a picture of these monsters? Hey, punk, what? This is what I was looking for, rebels. Get or die, traditionalist fukers be possessed, succumb to your tongue and lick this dick. Are you afraid of freedom? are you frightened? this is your endless nightmaaaaareee! Thanks again denis for sharing so many russian obscure projects! П.О.С.Т. (Rus) - ПОСТ 1990, CDR mp3-sourced, this is the only way that seems to work for this forgotten-in-time project. Outstanding in your face Thrash Metal with really catchy riffs, rythms, solos,etc... one of the best projects from Russia I must say, with lots of classical music influences. Originally recorded on Reel-to-reel , as much of the ancient russian stuff, this was never properly issued, what a fukin pitty!! Honestly I am not sure if I can compare this band to any other at this very moment, probably a good mixture of US-Thrash Metal, be it SLAYER(US) and German-Thrash Metal be it KREATOR(Ger) and POISON(Ger) with their very own touch , kind of latinamerican vox and when on melodic parts it reminds you to hellenic scales, let's name VARATHRON(Gre) and also DEATH COURIER(Gre), the more Speed Metal passages also reminded me to Фаланга (Rus) and the closing track is kind of Punk. This is a total must! Фаланга (Rus) - Recordings 1986-1989, CDR mp3-sourced, I mentioned them so I felt I had to write little bit more. Together with DEATH VOMIT(Rus) and KRÜGER(Rus) , this were my first russian encounters. These guys are influenced by lots of stuff and their tracks vary from in-your-face thrash metal to speed metal rock. I think it ressembles to SAVAGE DEATH(US) in few riffs mixed with CELTIC FROST(Swi), PROTECTOR(Ger) Misantrophy MLP era, POISON(Ger) pre-LP, MESSIAH(Swi) pre-LP , SAMHAIN(Dnk) , TOXIC TRASH(Svk) first LP, and may be it's that FLAME(Gre) 's feeling, from "Summon the dead" LP era, on few scales that are common in most USSR projects, russian classical music. This is another of those lost in time recordings that deserve a proper desecration. This plus KRÜGER (the 91 demo) were a total immersion into this unique kind of sound. Killer! SABOTAGE (Arg) - Demo 1989 , RE 2021 CD by Despreciable Realidad Records, Noto guitar tune from SUPER RATON(Arg) , TOKYO BLADE (UK) riffs and something on vocals similar to Charly Lopez from ALVACAST(Ury) and probably a couple of riffs, also due to this mixture, I can find similarities to ATLAIN(Ger) too and King Diamond sharp screams. This describes perfectly what you will find on this good demo. I was totally surprised by this, never heard of them before, seems there's always a new undesecreated ground. Thank you very much alan! TERMINATOR(Cze) - Termination demo 1989 , another Terminator yes. Total deathrash attack which begins with "Terminator" , starts instrumental but later goes directly to thrash, reminds me to what BLOODBATH(Ser) did on their early recordings, KREATOR(Ger) , plus the weird words for those fans of the unexpected demency makes this excellent. "Golgota" keeps this Brazilian-germanic-czechian vibe, now that I know EXPLICIT HATE(Bra) , it could be a reference too. "Nuclearni utok" starts with great riffs and drumming with little alternation of bases but then follows an spectacular riffs which also made me think of the ultra killer bastards from DISARM(US) , I think the guitars along with that in your face sharpy bass is what generates the connection, besides here you can appreciate the bass pressence not only going through guitar riffs but also with some good arrangements. "Zralok" is the first track adding some blasts and a kind of bell ha ha on its beginning, this bassist is no joke, totally devoted to the role. Good solo here that melted with bass lines, greatly done. "Tanec Smrti" now this made me realise they were in the same vein KRABATHOR(Cze) and DEBUSTROL(Cze) demo era. "Termintator" terminates the demo with an instrumental bag of riffs. After all, impressive, this is an excellent deathrashcore annihilation, would you resist the temptation? get it! TERMINATOR(Cze) - Unification demo 1989, second demo from them, same year, same ideas, more tracks, wow! The mix here got more equally distributed among instruments, so it sounds little bit better than previous demo. The previous demo is more shocking so I don't know what to add regarding this one. It's a good demo but the other is more obscure. TERMINATOR(Cze) - Turany U Brna 1989, this is a live recording from the very same year where tracks from both of those 89 demos were played. Sadly the bass is totally unexistent so will not be comparable to the demo recordings but here you can appreciate that they were not bullshit, this band was a real massacre, vocals are totally agressive as it must! "Xenophobia" begins and it gets followed by "Golgota" where the bass seems to be there trying to make its way to this recording but hardly achieves it. TERMINATOR(Cze) - Demo Promo 1993, this promo got done after the release of their first LP, which I found not that good comparing it with these demos, and this promo sucks badly. All these recordings were put together on a double CD by Underground Records in 2011 with an awful artwork but kills anyway, If you can get it, you won't be disappointed, mostly due to its first CD. Highly recommended. Thanks denis! MORTEM (Per) - Rehearsal 1988 in Spanish, dubbed, interesting that this recording is in spanish with tracks that later appeared on "Evil Dead" demo, and the sound is incredible, I cannot believe they achieved this recording sound for a rehearsal back then, totally clear. Honestly I prefer them on their demos than on this rehearsal, and the production achieved later is what made them obscure, here you can appreciate the early days of a monster beast of darkness in its most primitive stage. You will come across with "Ritos mutilatorios" (Mutilation rites) , "Licántropos" (Lycanthropes), "Muerte diabólica" (Evil dead) , "Súcubo" (Sucubus) and "Ilusión de Sangre" which reminds me of MARCA ACME (Ury) ja ja ! Only for the curious and gravediggers of the eternal boundless abysm of deathrash. Thank joakill for the suggestion ,totally unexpected and weird to listen to "Evil Dead" in spanish ha! SOBERANIA PERSONAL(Arg) - Benditos sean muñecos que pegan 1988, RE 2019 magniflicly done by Outsider Classics Records on tape, the printing is just like if it were from the old times, spectacular hardcore punk with female vocals that vomit hatred in your face, the lyrics are totally anti, love Vivi fukin screams, her tune is a mixture between Roxana from SUPER RATON(Arg) and Lynda from SACRILEGE(UK) , the music flows among DISCHARGE(UK), 200 MUERTOS(Par) ,etc . Side A skin you with "Lider", "A los políticos" ("to the politicians") fukin awesome "en este fukin mundo hay sólo dos tipos de políticos, los que te cagaron y los que te cagarán!" this even starts with a superfast deathrash kind of riff, "Mi tv ha estallado" , "Maskavidrio" , "Ciudadanos idiotizados", "Sucios y Coimeros" . Side B slows down a little bit but then agression returns with: "En verdad es una gran verdad" ressembles to "Black Sabbath" track with a mixture of ACCUSED(US) on the tremolo riff , I think from their track entitled "Autopsy" , "Supermacho" against machism, great one, "Trapos", "Falsas esperanzas" and "Socios a la fuerza" . Totally rebel music, lyrics, attitude, this is a must for those digging into this think-for-yourself realm. The message on the tape's insert is great, "Para tú oreja, hijo y para que molestes a tú vecino" (for your ear, son and for bothering your neighbor). Highly recommended. Thanks cez for this recommendation through joakill.
