What can be said,this is a blog where I will post some stuff I really like,so I think you should like it too.I am a metalhead to the heart,but I will put here every kind of stuff I like,not only Metal.I hope you will enjoy it,and let me know if there is anything needed,especially from the ex-Yugoslavia territory.
Cheers!
The best period this band had.A rehearsal with the track from their best album, and one of the best Black Metal albums ever.The sound is not soundboard, it was recorded probably as almost every rehearsal in the old school way, with a cassette recorder.And for being recorded that way, it sounds very good.
Tracks: 01.I am the black wizards 02.The burning shadows of silence 03.Cosmic keys to my creations of times 04.Towards the pantheon
This is a band I liked a lot when I was a kid.In fact, I still like them.Born from the ashes of the Punk band X-Ray Spex, CN fronted by the charismatic vocalist Sal Solo, was a very acclaimed New Wave/New Romantic band from the beginning of the 80s, being very popular in Yugoslavia (on the second album, they have a song named "Zagreb", by the capital town of Croatia!).This is their first album, a very nice record from whom we got the hit single "Guilty" and a bunch of good tunes.A thing I like here is the bass play.A nice record to have in your collection. PS:This is the vinyl version.The cd version contains 6 bonus tracks.
Tracks: 01.Foreward 02.Guilty 03.Run away 04.No sympathy, no violins 05.Inside outside 06.623 07.Every home should have one 08.Tokyo 09.Or a movie 10.Soldier 11.The protector of night
This compilation was supposed to be the follow-up of the great "Novi Punk Val" compilation, but it wasn`t.This compilation contains only slovenian Punk bands (and Buldogi repeating from the mentioned compilation).And one more thing, probably less important, this one lacks of hit songs (probably a good thing for Punk, but not for the wider masses).So here it is, and this comes by request!
Tracks: KUZLE 01.Lepo je 02.Smej se 03.Ostani idiot 04.Vahid SUND 05.Gadavic 06.Bil 07.Komisija za sund 08.Dvign roko BULDOGI 09.V kotu sveta 10.Drhal 11.Doku INDUST BAG 12.100 dB 13.Ti si stroj 14.Nas sosed 15.Mestna senca LUBLANSKI PSI 16.Neumni, odpisani in prazni 17.Za boljsi jutri 18.Kaste za navade 19.TV (vecerna revolucija) 20.Dobro jutro mati KUZLE 21.Lepo je (nadaljevanje in konec)
Our friend Zlatko is really a friend, here is something extremely fresh and new, a band writing and playing exclusively their own stuff, and a band that does it veeeery good.Epic Power Metal played in an incredibly perfect way, with a good production, this is the 896th band from Serbia that sounds very good (with this I wanted to say that Serbia is a surprisingly talented country for Metal).Enjoy, man, before they get big!
Tracks: 01.Embraced by spirits 02.Immortal 03.Illusion of life
Ok, is there any reason why should I get this post as serious? You read it well, 5643 songs on two sides of an EP..do I have to add anything more to that? If you dare...
Austria was always home of good Death Metal, and this band is another DM act coming from that country.The stuff we got here is just a three track promo the band let out just before the release of their third full lenght "The World Demise". This is the first time from the beginning of this blog that you will get also a video for another song from that album, Resuscitated.Enjoy.
Tracks: 01.Blood flows on 02.Fate in line 03.Mist of persihability video: Resuscitated
Here is a cool old-school Thrash Metal band, and by that I mean a band that played in the 80s and played that old fashioned Thrash Metal which is back now, more than two decades after.This is a compilation of stuff the band recorded in 1986 and 1987, so, for the oldskool Thrashers, something to get at once.
Tracks: 01.Destructor 02.Slaughter lord 03.Die by power 04.Taste of blood 05.Legion 06.Slaughtered corpse 07.Onslaught 08.Steel lords of war 09.Cryptic terror
This album is something that is expected for a very long time, after this band practicly exploded around with their Ep "Metal je rat", everyone anxiously expected a full release.And here it is.Released by the chinese "Area Death Productions" label, this album is inevitable to become one of your personal favourites, if you are into "new wave of old skool Speed Thrash Metal" bands (for example; Municipal Waste). Nadimac made a solid-no, not solid: a concrete-crushing album, starting from the production through the ripping vocal and the perfect playing skill of the guys (the complete album reminds me somehow of Kreator`s "Terrible certainty", with a pinch of aggressivity added).The rip you got here is a usual 128kbps, for you just to pre-listen (as usual) and my sincere recommendation is to buy yourself an original copy, and you can do it through the band`s myspace page (www.myspace.com/nadimacbend) or through Area Death Production label site.The original comes with a full color booklet with lyrics written in three languages.Buy or FOAD!
Tracks: 01.Metal je rat 02.Headshot u glavu 03.Zlo i naopako 04.Sad si sam 05.Dlake na sapunu 06.Usro si motku 07.Trece oko 08.Hrani babu da te ujede 09.Zmajeva jajca 10.Bog cuva bekriju
Finally it is out.This album means a lot to me, because it brings my memory to a guy I knew until the beginning of this year, until he left this planet forever.Post Mortem are a cult band from the 80s, and just as they planned a reunion, the vocalist John McCarthy died on January 28th this year, and it seemingly stopped the reunion.
JOHN McCARTHY , R.I.P. MY FRIEND
As the musical part of the new album was over, the guitarist John Alexander decided to finish it as a tribute to Macca (McCarthy).The vocals were done by SIGH`s vocalist Mirai Kawashima, and Alexander decided to include on the album some alternate versions of some songs with other vocalists, guys who were friends of the Macca, so as bonus tracks are included 5 songs sung by other vocalists such as Seth from Anal Cunt and Mike from Cianide.And I am proud to say that I gave my tribute too, I sung the McCarthy`s song "A Happy Life", it is no.15 on this cd.The cd is available through the myspace page of the band, or at www.tabootapes.com . Order it.
Tracks: 01.Message from the dead 02.Dana Hersey 03.Crispy monsters 04.Human pinata 05.Pray before you die 06.Field trip 07.Never rat 08.Babble on 09.A happy life 10.Forthright tuna 11.Oh so evil bonus tracks: 12.Message from the dead (feat. Mike Perun) 13.Field trip (feat. Ryan Travis) 14.Never rat (feat. Mike Keller) 15.A happy life (feat. Alex Bijazic) 16.Oh so evil (feat. Seth Putnam)
Here is another great serbian band provided to me by my friend Zlatko.SS have a very nicely produced and played CD, playing a kind of modern sounding Thrash Metal.This is the only release they have, and after it, the band changed the name into Stillborn Sun.
Tracks: 01.Stillborn sun 02.Agony of a mortal 03.Slaves to ignorance 04.Evil walking among us 05.Unbreakable bond 06.The power of hunger 07.My hatred 08.Our kingdom 09.Homicide of the mind 10.Never again 11.My own enemy
Well, this one is a killer for sure..You already know BG for sure, this is one of the earlier works, but undoubtely not even slightly lighter than the other stuff.Grindcore to the bone.As for the slovenian SD, they have the crust side of this split, very interesting and noisy too.
Tracks: BOLESNO GRINJE 01.Bolesno grinje 02.Generacija zajeb 03.Noz u ledja 04.Flush song 05.Amen 06.Prolupan grad 07.Nema povratka 08.Kravlje ludilo SOD`N DAN 09.Sod`n dan 10.Smrt drzave, svoboda naroda 11.Totalka kiselica 12.Cisto sranje 13.Letalski miting 14.Vojni turisti 15.Petek 13 16.Izgubljena prihodnost 17.I disagree 18.Rana u dusi
Here is a nice rarity I got from some musical collectors from Pula, this is a demo from a Pula`s band from the late 70s/early 80s, Visoki Napon, a Punky New Wave act represented here with a good quality studio demo.I enjoyed listening to it, it reminded me of the first gigs I saw exactly around 1978-79-80s..If I am not wrong, Romeo from Besposlicari/The Spoons played here...
Tracks: 01.Tri male curice 02.Fakultet 03.Rodjen sam u Puli 04.Centar za neuropsihijatriju 05.Rock `n` roll 06.Posljednji let Boeinga 707 07.Narkoman 08.Mrtvac 09.Momak ti si lud 10.Ulice
The album you see here is almost a rarity today. It is the very first album of the band known today as GUSTAFI, and playing today a completely different music.The music featured on this album dated 1985 can be described as "the most alternative Talking Heads stuff". The production is an excellent work by Ekatarina Velika`s leader Milan Mladenovic.As this album was never released on cd, this one is a great vinyl rip.
Tracks: 01.Zlatousti 02.Damin trip 03.Moje ulice 04.Napamet 05.Zrtve plesa 06.Za ideale 07.Upotreba majmuna 08.Dobri ljudi nocu spavaju 09.Price
This one is a classic split-ep, even more classic if it is about Patareni.You all know that Patareni did a certain number of split-eps with bands as Crucifix, E.N.T., Anal Cunt and similiar masters of noise.Atta is a one-man-project by Erich from Fear Of God, and the stuff here is just part of a 180 minutes long demo (!) he made.Patareni are in their best shape here, while Atta is only for the bravest.
Tracks: PATARENI 01.Atentat na sluh+Mulci+...Po parku+Mara+Johnny be fuzz +Mozak 02.Broj+Ulicni batinasi+Smradovi u prolazu+2 sekunde 03.O.T.P.+Dio mase+Obrij me majko motornom pilom+Pataren 04.Buka gebisa u pokretu (Postar+Sverc+Splasena song+Sekunda) ATTA 05.Ein tag im sommer 06.Der nachtliche Weg 07.Gedankenschlaufen
Now something found somewhere on the net, a rare soundboard live recording of Bajaga (ex-Riblja Corba guitarist) and his band Instruktori.This one is taken in Osijek (Croatia), and I wrote Croatia because this is a recording from 1985, and that means that Yugoslavia was still one country, and Croatia was part of it.After the beginning of war in 1990/91, almost a decade will pass until the first Serbian performers will do shows in Croatia again.History made its turn, and Bajaga was one of the first Serbian performers to return to Croatia.
Tracks: 01.Sa druge strane jastuka 02.Tekila gerila 03.Nemoj da se zezas sa mnom 04.Marlena 05.Nemoj da budes nja nja 06.Dobro jutro dzezeri 07.Poljubi me 08.XX vek 09.Francuska ljubavna revolucija 10.Pilule za lilule
And there goes another excellent Serbian band served to us by Zlatko.Thrash metal with an excellent recording (altough I think that the programmed drum should be replaced and re-recorded with a live drummer).But except for that, the material you got here is really great in every aspect.Serbian Metal (obviously) rules.
Tracks: 01.We are damned (Welcome to hell) 02.Cold winter night 03.Parted 04.Inner evil
Let`s go back to some bands you know better..this one is the fourth Darkthrone demo, coming from their Death Metal phase.An interesting recording, not of the highest quality, but surely a great document.And great stuff if we take the year of recording, 1989.
Now something unusual, a very young band, and by saying that, I mean it.As you can see in the pic, they are all kids, and the smallest of them in front is not their mascotte, but it is the drummer, which at the time of the recording was only 8 years old.The material here is not that bad, actually it is very melodic.A kind of dark metal with vocal in the Sisters Of Mercy style.All in all, something you can at least try, if you are sceptic for their ages.
And here is a little treat again from our friend from Serbia, this is the first demo of one of the best bands from Serbia.The band passed through a tragedy this year (I won`t repeat it again, as respect to the band) and all I can say is that I really hope they will stand on their feet again and come out of this twice stronger. Bosko R.I.P.
This is a band from Pula, whose CD was given to me personally by the lead vocalist Debac, a living legend of the Rock scene from Pula (Zablja Perspektiva, Rosa Nera, DETMA, Manekeni...) , singing from the beginning of the 80s and still not giving up.And there is no reason to give up anyway.This is a very strong CD with music that can be comparable to the best Alice In Chains works, and with slightly Tool and Soundgarden influences. The recording is highly professional, so I think that, if you like the mentioned bands, then there is absolutely no reason to miss this one!Hvala Debac!
Tracks: 01.Odvedi me 02.Planeta 03.Delfina 04.Magija 05.Poruka 06.Budilica 07.Jalamander (instrumental) 08.Osmica 09.Poznati lik 10.Shine (bonus track)
My blogs represent what I like in music,no matter what kind of music is.In AudioHeaven you will rarely find stuff that can be found on any other music blog,I put here stuff that is maybe hard to get,but of course there will be also stuff that is practicly obligatory on every music blog,but only if represent a milestone in my musical taste.As I am a metalhead,most of the stuff you will find here will be metal in any kind and form,but there will also be posts that won`t have any matching point with metal.The only thing I would like is that you occasionally write some comment of the stuff you just downloaded.Thank you and enjoy good music.AND PLEASE,TELL TO OTHERS ABOUT MY BLOG!!
PS;all the regular releases on this blog are here for you just for pre-listening,if you like the stuff,of course,buy the cd and support the bands!As for demo and live bootlegs,enjoy them and support bands by visiting their gigs!!
The best period this band had.A rehearsal with the track from their best album, and one of the best Black Metal albums ever.The sound is not soundboard, it was recorded probably as almost every rehearsal in the old school way, with a cassette recorder.And for being recorded that way, it sounds very good.
