EMPEROR (Nor) - Rehearsal 04.1993.

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

CLASSIX NOUVEAUX (U.K.) - Night people, lp 1981

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

LEPO JE... - Slovenian Punk compilation lp 1982

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!

01.Lepo je
02.Smej se
03.Ostani idiot

AHERONT (Ser) - Promotional EP 2009



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

SLAUGHTER LORD (Australia) - Thrash till death 86-87, cd 1998

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

NADIMAC (Ser) - Drzavni neprijatelj broj kec, cd 2009

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

POST MORTEM (U.S.A.) - Message from the dead , cd 2009

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

VISOKI NAPON (Cro) - Demo 1980

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...

GUSTAPH Y NJEGOVI DOBRI DUHOVI (Cro) - V , lp 1985


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

PATARENI (Cro) + ATTA (Swi) - Deadland massacre, split EP 1989


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

BAJAGA (Ser) - Osijek 1985

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

ALISTER (Ser) - Where angels bleed , EP 2006

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

ALISTER - WHERE ANGELS BLEED , EP 2006

DARKTHRONE (Nor) - Cromlech , demo 1989


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.



Tracks:
01.The watchtower
02.Accumulation of generalization
03.Sempiternal sepulchrality
04.Iconoclasm sweeps Cappadocia

DARKTHRONE - CROMLECH , DEMO 1989

ANGEL OF FIRE (Cro) - Demo 2008

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.



Tracks:
01.Stoneflower
02.Angel of fire

ANGEL OF FIRE - DEMO 2008

SPACE EATER (Ser) - Bombs away , demo 2006

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.



Tracks:
01.Bombs away
02.Merciful angel
03.Space eater

FLU (Cro) - Poruka iz svemira , cd 2009


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)
