ANTOHER VIDEO POST ; GIGS I DID IN THE 90s IN PULA

I was watching some videos of gigs I organized when I lived in Pula back in the 90s,and I wanted to show you pieces of those gigs.There were not that much gigs,and I don`t have videos for all of them (I miss the Anti-Nowhere League video,as well as the Sickening Gore one),but I hope you will enjoy these here.
I will try to put them here chronologically,as I am not sure myself of the exact dates.

The first and surely the biggest was the Carcass gig in Pula,the 5th of May 1992.Carcass were the first bigger international band to visit Croatia after the proclamation of independence.They were very brave to come to Pula,as the war was raging at some 150 km air-distance from Pula.The gig was held at the terrace of the touristic village Verudela in the Pula suburbs.The bill was Hatross (Pula),Cenotaph (Trieste,Italy) and Carcass.

Here is a piece of Cenotaph;


and the unforgettable Carcass;


After that,I think the first great band that came to Pula was Disharmonic Orchestra.They played at the Powerfest 93 Metal festival as headliners,the 1st of May of 1993.They gave us a great show,playing after 8 Croatian,1 Italian and one slovenian band.

This was the beginning of their show:



Next was also a great Metal package;Pula was one of the cities visited by a great tour by Nuclear Blast/Earache recording artists,Macabre,Brutal Truth and Pungent Stench.We were pretty lucky to have this package at home,because the gig in Florence Italy was cancelled,and we jumped in (on the tour shirts,by the date 2nd June 1994 is written Florence).Pungent Stench were very popular in Pula at the time,and this was the third try to take them there.

The gig started off with Macabre,a band we also liked a lot at the time,and Serial Killer was one of the most favourite tune I played on the DJ nights (I was also the DJ in the club then).You can see the reaction of the crowd..


After them came Brutal Truth.See what a blast was their beginning of the show!


Wow..and then,finally,Pungent Stench came out and did a really fucking great show!Hear Cochino starting Klyster Boogie in Croatian!


The next gig,as far as I remember,was the Fleshcrawl gig.They played just a day after I arranged the gig,so there was just some 20 of us in the audience.

A very strange gig,but powerful:


Just few days after that,we had another nice package,this time a HC/Punk one,with three bands;the german Growing Movement (not bad,but don`t have a video uploaded) , and the americans Ignite and Slapshot.Even Slapshot were a bigger and known band at that moment,Ignite had all our sympathies.

Here is a piece of Ignite;


and a piece of Slapshot too;


That year,1994,was a very good year for gigs;the last bigger show we had was the legendary MDC.They were supported by Fifteen,but I didn`t uploaded their video.Instead,watch MDC in a blasting Chicken Squawk.MDC did a show in front of over a thousand people going totally insane,there were people jumping off the PA,even Dave Dictor told them to cool off,that somebody might get hurt.

Check this out;


I hope you liked this stuff!

And now...

...to end this pretentious post,here is a video from a show that wasn`t mine,Hamo of Headbanger did it;

Cannibal Corpse,the 3rd of May 1998.

WHIPLASH (U.S.A.) - VIDEO !! LIVE Bochum 1988

I know this is not supposed to be a video blog,but I can`t resist not to show you this video.I ripped it from an old VHS tape,it is one of the most incredible performances I have ever seen in Thrash Metal,a total killer live show from one of the veteran-bands of US Thrash.I adored that live cut in the 80s,and I still do.One of the reasons I love so much this video is the drumming of Joe Cangelosi,the drummer on this video I had the opportunity to meet on Youtube/Myspace after I uploaded this video on Youtube.And so,I dedicate this post to my new friend,to the loving memory of the bass player on this video-Tony Bono (R.I.P.) and to all of you who really love old school Thrashing,especially the old-school guys that visits this blog (Bartol,Axegrinder,Distor,Jurica,Mel,Schebo,Damir,HK,Maras and probably some who I forgot,but have in mind).THRASH FOREVER!

ANNATHEMA (Ser) - Annathema , lp 1989

The first album of this Serbian Speed Metal band,one of the top Metal bands of the Serbian Metal scene of the end of the 80s/beginning of the 90s.This one is definitely for the majority of fans of old school.A fairly played and recorded album,but still not my cup of tea..I am not a fan of this band,but this album is here for you,especially for collectors of ex-Yu Metal,so..

Tracks:
01.To hell and back
02.Steel in my breath
03.Burn in flames
04.Killer machine
05.Big ferry eyes

ANNATHEMA - ANNATHEMA , LP 1989

KUD IDIJOTI (Cro) - Fuck , EP 1996


What to say about the greatest Croatian Punk Rock band ever?They released 4 EP`s and this one is their last,maybe the less known because is released in their own production,it was not on the compilation with the first three EP`s and what is maybe most important,it is released in 1996,when the vinyl releases were (for a bigger part of audience) not interesting anymore and buried forever.That`s why this release could be really interesting for you,thanx to Florijan for this.As for the music..KUD Idijoti have their own style they play almost three decades,a melodic Punk Rock with HC stains here and there.Very nice!
PS:..and yes,my brother Chriss plays the drums with them momentarily..



Tracks:
01.Sam biram frendove
02.Politicki podobna pjesma (PPP)
03.Evropo pomozi

KUD IDIJOTI - FUCK , EP 1996

OVERLOAD (Cro) - Odlazak u mrak , demo 199x

Another Croatian band I know nothing about,they existed in the first part of the 90s,but except for this demo,nothing remained after them.However,this was a great band playing full-blooded Heavy Metal,and if you like it,this demo-even if it is not a so good recording-is here to justify their existence at least.And if I am not wrong,I have to thank Damir for this.

Tracks:
01.Overload (part II)
02.Odlazak u noc
03.Kraljica zla
04.Sumrak (posljednjeg dana)
05.Kroz noc

SOUL RAPE - Austrian compilation cd 1992


Alex from Pungent Stench gave me this cd back in 1994.,it is an extremely strange but enjoyable cd,obviously his work:it has the cream of early Austrian Death Metal (of course,the godly trio Orchestra-Stench-Murmur),few industrial Metal slashers and this strange creation called 001 ZNORT 101.There is also an excellent Metal band Raydead,and the ridicolous version (or better to say:massacration) of the Nazareth`s classic romantic ballad Love Hurts,played by a project of Pungent Stench members called Los Tres Hombres (this one is a total MUST!).A cd rarity and surely worth downloading..



Tracks:
FETISH 69
01.Hellville U.S.A.
DISHARMONIC ORCHESTRA

GOTHMOG

LIVING DEATH (Ger) - Vengeance of hell , lp 1984

And again..I am momentarily totally into Speed/Thrash,and as so,I cannot avoid to put this album here.Living Death with this album were for me the ideal combination of Heavy Metal (a la Judas Priest) and Speed Metal.The only thing that you have to get used to is the vocal of Thorsten Bergmann,very high pitched and unusual,but still unique.And needless to mention,Hellpike was one of the first covers of my band Devastation back in 1987.This album have some of the greatest riffs in Speed Metal I have ever heard.ESSENTIAL!
PS:The version here is the unmastered vinyl-rip,this album is re-released on cd,but with a shitty sound,so here is the original.
PPS:Watch this video,this is definitely Speed fuckin` Metal!!!



Tracks:
01.You and me
02.Living death
03.Nightlight
04.My victim
05.Labyrinth
06.Heavy Metal hurricane
07.Hellpike
08.Riding a virgin
09.Vengeance of hell

LIVING DEATH - VENGEANCE OF HELL , LP 1984

SACRIFICE (Can) - Forward to termination , lp 1987

Uhhhh...a great album,a great band,great tight production and Thrashy sound..this one is an all time favourite for me.Many compared this album to Slayer`s Reign In Blood,I am of the same opinion,even there are many telling that this comparison is totally unreal.I say "Where there is smoke,there is fire".Anyway,a comparison to Reign In Blood can only bring you a massive album.THIS ONE SURELY IS!!





Tracks:
01.Forward to termination (intro)+Terror strikes
02.Re-animator
03.Afterlife
04.Flames of Armageddon
05.The entity
06.Forever enslaved
07.Cyanide
08.Light of the end
09.Pyrokinesis

SACRIFICE - FORWARD TO TERMINATION , LP 1987

PANDORA`S BOX (Hun) - Ko kovon , lp 1983

People,if you like Hard Rock,those Hungarians are definitely a must!I got this vinyl in 1985,and ever since I found this album a great piece of work.I finally found a good vinyl rip on the net,and giving it to you right now.Pandora`s Box (somewhere as P.Box) were,along with Omega,Lokomotiv GT,Karthago and Edda Muvek one of the most popular Hard Rock bands in Hungary.This album shows it clearly,I recommend it to all fans of good strong Hard Rock!
PS:The video is not from this album,but it is the oldest I`ve found,and surely represents how P.Box sounds on this album.



Tracks:
01.Soha nem eleg
02.Ingajarat
03.Maradj a vonalban
04.Fantom-lany
05.Valami Rock and Roll
06.A zold,a bibor es a fekete
07.Engedj
08.Az ideges
09.Vagtass velem
