DEATH (U.S.A.) - The best of , compilation cd 2001 (compiled by ME!!)

I think Chuck`s death was the most shocking death in the world of Metal after the Cliff Burton`s one..the tribute Chuck made to Metal is immense,it is unmeasurable,and I won`t spend a lot of words about it.Instead,as the anniversary of Chuck`s death is coming (December 13th),I am putting here this compilation I made in 2001,just few days after his death,and aired as a special edition of my radio-Metal-show "Scream".This is my tribute to his work,and you will find here tracks from the demos to the last live album. Rest in peace,you genius.

Tracks;
01.Corpse grinder (demo)
02.Summoned to die (demo)
03.Infernal death (demo)
04.Baptized in blood (demo)

DEATH - THE BEST OF , COMPILATION CD BY ALEX 2001

After the first 300...

Well people,this is the 301st post here,so I would like to thank you all once again for visiting this blog,it makes me very satisfied to see over 11000 visits in the last 6 months,with over 3000 downloads..these are big numbers for me,so I promise I will keep up the good work..
I must point out that,anyway,there are some titles in here that were not uploaded,so they vanished from my Rapidshare-list (they say that a file disappear when it is not downloaded for two months),so if you find an inactive link,and want to download the title,please let me know and I will reupload it.
One more thing about these uploads;I have to repeat that official releases are not my favourite kind of stuff here.Those are releases that you can buy anywhere,and you should do so.If any official release is here,is just here for you to pre-listen to it and BUY the original.Also,official releases here are exclusively some of my favourite records,or something you ask for.The bigger part of stuff here is demo and similiar material that may be hard to find,and for every single material I put here,if possible I ask for permission directly from the performers.
I hope you will keep enjoing this blog.
Sincerely yours,Alex.
PS;you probably asked yourself,why the Niko Kranjcar`s pic here..it`s because he is a great soccer player.I mean it.

HOUSE FORCE 3 - compilation , cd 1994

Now,you will say I went completely out of my mind..well,this CD was something I discovered 13 years ago,and the whole thing dates some 15 yrs ago..I found out this extreme,violent and insane side of Techno/House/whatever music,and must admit that I liked it sooo much..it is sometimes extremer than any Metal or HC,it is claustrophobic because it is closed mostly to one repetitive rhythmic phrase played with distorted synthetic bass drum,as well as distorted synthetic sounds all around (of course,except for the voice here and there,everything is synthetic)..just look at the cover,that`s what can bring you a longer consumation of this kind of music,and the drugs and chemicals that go with it..I dedicate this one to the extremists visiting this blog,if you don`t spare MB`s,try it..you could be surprised.
PS;an anecdote from 1994;when I was DJ in the Pula`s Rock Club Uljanik,I was pretty free in DJ-ing (meaning that I wasn`t strictly a Rock DJ),so here and there a track from this compilation found its place in my repertoire..but one night was pure hell..The guys from the Californian HC band IGNITE (2 of them) finished their Euro tour,and they liked Pula so much that after the end of the tour in Czech,they came back to Pula for few days.They discovered this kind of Techno when they visited Pula,and liked it very much.One day we were drinking together before my DJ evening,I came to the club so drunk that in the middle of the evening there was a block of HC/Gabber Techno of an hour and half,you can imagine what hell was that,but we all really enjoyed it..

01.Evil Maniax-Creators of Hardcore
02.Charly Lownoise and Mental Theo-The ultimate sextrack

HOUSE FORCE 3 - COMPILATION , cd 1994

SATAN PANONSKI (Cro) - Ljuljajmo ljubljeni ljubicasti ljulj , cass 1989

Satan rules!And if you know me,you know I am not talking about the devil one,but about this one,the 200% sure most charismatic person of the Croatian (and ex-Yugoslav) scene.Ivica Culjak Jr. (aka Kecer 2) was the Croatian version of GG Allin,a guy with some mental disturbances,but a genious in what he did.This cassette surely goes to my top-10 releases in the Balkans of all the times.The rip here is perfect,let me describe you the music in here.Punk Rock without compromises,side A (tracks 1-8)recorded is a studio recording with a band made by a drummer and two distorted basses (btw,one of those two,as far as I know,played by Bare from Majke).The sibe b is recorded in a room with an acoustic guitar and is an insane recording of Ivica`s poetry with an acoustic guitar making noise.Absolutely great.
Ivica Culjak Jr. died on the 27th January 1992 in the Croatian war,under very strange yet unknown circumstances.An enormous loss for the Croatian scene.If you ask me,this tape is a must,at least to share a moment of his geniality/insanity.
R.I.P. Ivica Culjak Jr.

SATAN PANONSKI - LJULJAJMO LJUBLJENI LJUBICASTI LJULJ , cass 1989

ELECTRIC DEADS (Dk) - Order , ep 1982

I loved this band.It is not the band I would slash my wrists for,but I loved them.I bought all three ep`s from a friend long time ago,and I must tell I enjoyed them.With a female vocal,Electric Deads are an atypical Punk/HC band,and maybe not of the well-known ones,but still they found their way to one of the best Punk/HC compilations ever,Welcome To 1984 (find it backwards!).
This is the first ep,I will put here of course all three of them.Enjoy them.
PS;This EP is also noted as self titled,so no wonder if you find it somewhere simply as "Electric Deads ep".

Tracks;
01.Order
02.Zig zag
03.Fish in a pool
04.Compact chaos

ELECTRIC DEADS - ORDER , ep 1982

SAURON (Cro) - Better tomorrow , cd 1994

Well,another request,and this time we have a great melodic Heavy Metal band from Croatia,they released few demos before this one.This album,and especially the title song had a pretty good publicity in the mid 90s,the video for that song was aired several times on national TV.Too bad the band split-up very soon,but this one is really a nice piece of work that remained after the band.This upload is brought to you by Ivan,thanx man!

Tracks;
01.Walking down my streets
02.Night lady
03.Chains of love
04.Crying time
05.Sauron

CRNA UDOVICA (Cro) - Sudbina , lp 1987

Again an item for collectors;of course,collectors do like vinyls,but this one is very very rare,and anyway the stuff on this blog is just to pre-listen,so..This is 80s Heavy Metal style,and I must admit I never saw this record vinyl.The band changed later name to Big Blue.So,people,as I said,rare stuff here..

Tracks;
01.Povedi me
02.Gladijatori
03.Kad ona place

DO THIS NEED A COMMENT?

LEUKKEMIAA (Cro) - Uljanik , Pula , 24.06.1994.

Eheeeh,here`s another LKAA (shortened for Leukkemiaa) gig,this one ripped from the VHS tape..it was a summer gig with another band,I can`t remember which one,things ran out of control,I was totally drunk that evening,so drunk that at some point I played the same track twice,while the rest of the band continued with the set list..well,whatever.For the fans,it is another wasted 30 MB,for the others it`s even worse..

LEUKKEMIAA - ULJANIK , PULA , 24.06.1994.

ELUJ (Cro) - Eva ti mi pomazes vise nego Bog , cd 2001

Eluj was always a person I admired for his hyperactivity in the Pula`s sceneand this hyperactivity brought to this;I m talking about Jule (read the name backwards) founder of,among others,Anti Otpad (a once very active band) and Bolesno Grinje (the now most active band from Pula).This is completely his work,he recorded all the instruments in his own studio Ja Sam Glup (it means I Am Stupid,even on a website I found that the studio-maybe for this one time-changed the name into Ja Sam Gluh-I Am Deaf).And the music here..the best he could do,perfectly played and produced straight-to-the-bone Thrashing Hardcore.Very recommended.

PS;I know I already posted this pic,but until I find another one,this is Jule..ooops,Eluj.

Tracks;
01.Eva
02.Ceska policija

PANDEMONIUM (NL) - Wir fahren gegen dreck , lp 1984

Aaaaarrrrrggggghhhh...it is beautiful what can be found on the internet nowadays..I was going through my record collection few days ago,and found Pandemonium`s album and two single ep`s,and wondered will I find it somewhere..15 minutes later,I had also the mp3`s..
Pandemonium is surely one of my first love if we talk about VERY noisy Hardcore..I was in Sarajevo in 1985 (springtime,I think),and there was the announcement in the local radio that a Dutch band Pandemonium will play a gig in town,and then they put Mit Schwarzer Fahne+Demonstrate..I went fuckin` crazy!!!As I was in the army back then,I couldn`t get out every day,I think it was only on weekends,and this gig was thru the week...Man..I missed them for few kilometers and a now non-existing-anymore army..
This band is one of the first bands that played a Disorder-kind of Hardcore,just much faster..and this album is a beauty of noise.
MUST HAVE.

Tracks;
01.Amok
02.Mit schwarzer fahne+Demonstrate

PANDEMONIUM - WIR FAHREN GEGEN DRECK , lp 1984

EYESBURN (Ser) - Dog life , cd 1998

I have never been a fan of this band,simply because I don`t think that everything in Nu-Metal is good.Unfortunately,this fact concernes them too.The bigger part of their popularity goes to the fact that they are helped/are friends/collaborated with Max Cavalera,who even had them as guests on (if I am not wrong) the Soulfly`s fourth album with the instrumental "Mars na Drinu".If you like Nu-Metal,take it.

Tracks;
01.Smorrior
02.It`s coming out
03.Desert tax
04.Stark blind
05.Your grace
06.Exodus
07.Never again
08.Sister
09.Voiceless one

EYESBURN - DOG LIFE , CD 1998

DEAF AUDITORIUM (Cro) - Season of evil , demo 2002

A good band from Zagreb,great guitar work,with a vocal that could have been less Dani-sh.The music is somewhere between Melodic Death and Melodic Black Metal (if I tell you Cradle Of Filth,you got the point).Good stuff,excellent production.

Tracks:
01.Forgotten divinations (from times immemorial)
02.I had spoken with the dark
03.Premonition of ending
04.Monody of death

DEAF AUDITORIUM - SEASON OF EVIL , DEMO 2002

KVALITETNI DISKO BAND SHUMA (Cro) - Plasticna , demo 2006

And here they are again..hehehe,KDBS are here to entertain first of all themselves..but this is fun material,unfortunately only for the Croatian-language users.I recommend it to such visitors of this blog,this is a mixture of disco music with Turbo-Folk singing,done by HC Punks..how sick it may be?Check it out!!

Tracks;
01.Kad suma zazivlje
02.Tanac iz sve loze
03.Ljubavni overdouz
04.Sulor
05.Jagoda i cevapa
06.Kasno je sada

KVALITETNI DISKO BAND SHUMA - PLASTICNA , DEMO 2006

AGONIZE (BiH) - Agonized , demo 2001

On the site of this band (actually,on the intro-page,the site is non existant) is written Black Metal..I don`t agree,maybe lyrically they might be BM,but musically this is a strong Death Metal with great melodies.This one is a two tracker with three bonus live tracks,so if you ever wondered how this band sounds live,there you go.

Tracks;
01.Agonizing soul
02.Innocent cries
03.The chosen one (live)
04.Pain (live)
05.Devouring (live)

AGONIZE - AGONIZED , demo 2001

CORPSE GRINDER (Cro) - First grinding , cd 2005

These guys are from the town I live in,Varazdin,and they are probably the best Death Metal band coming from Croatia at the moment.A cover made very carefully and a sound made very carefully too.CG plays an old school Death Metal,and the only bad point in it all is the drum machine..but I can`t wait to hear the new recordings made with Pero on drums,as I played with him for 2 years in the Varazdin`s drumline Rudiment (where he still plays).I am sure that CG will sound way more powerful with the real drums.They already do.Highly recommended.

Tracks;
01.Intro
02.Abnormal sexual tendency
03.Carnal slavery
04.Extreme+Svalowing earth
05.Sinful convent
06.Oscillations
07.Outromezzo-intermezzo
08.Really morbid perversion
09.When a blind man feels the waves

CORPSE GRINDER - FIRST GRINDING , CD 2005

CYDOCORE (Cro) - Envenom , cd 2007

Now,this is what I call a good band!A perfect recording and a perfect debut-cd.This is a brand new band who haven`t lost time in the rehearsal room,but got to the bone very fast.Excellent Melodic Death Metal from this very young band,who will surely show a lot more in the future!!

Tracks;
01.Intro
02.Fallen
03.Attention
04.What you regret
05.Never wake
06.I`m down
07.Final truth

CYDOCORE - ENVENOM , CD 2007

BARRAKUDA (Cro) - 31 x yeah (24.07.2006.-the final sixpack) , ep 2006

...and this is the final EP of the Three Sixpacks serie,nothing much to add to it,if you liked the previous two this one is here to close the circle.Obligatory if you have the previous two.Fast and dirty Punk `n` Roll!!
PS;got no pics from them,so the same as the last time..again.

Tracks;
01.Shithole
02.I bleed
03.Now you know

STYPTIC (Ser) - Mode , ep 2007

Here we go,this is the new stuff from this Serbian band,an excellent recording melodic Thrash Metal band.I repeat MELODIC,because I don`t know where to put them,not truly Thrash,but more than just Heavy Metal..Gotta try them.I got the permission from the band for this one.Enjoy!!

Tracks;
01.Clockwise
02.Fairytaleless
03.Pedestrian love song
04.Picture of a sound
05.She gets to me
06.The peasantry

STYPTIC - MODE , EP 2007

SARATOGA (Cro) - Powerfest 93 , Pula , 01.05.1993.

With this band we are almost finished with the recordings from Powerfest `93.Let me explain you in few lines about it;Powerfest was the second part of a two day festival made in Pula the last day of April and first of May 1993.The first day was called Histeria party and it was dedicated to alternative music and Punk/HC,all that I remember from that day is that Majke played and as guests By All Means from Italy.The second day was called Powerfest,and the bands played that day were ; Killing Feeling , Saratoga , Sexton , Hatross , Leukkemiaa , Kain , Drinking Skull , D.T.W. , Cenotaph and Disharmonic Orchestra.We had here (with this one) 6 of these recordings,one more to go,and three for which I forgot to put the tape ; both my bands Hatross and Leukkemiaa and unfortunately Kain.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Saratoga were a band pretty active at the time.Of course,as this festival collected almost the biggest names of the Croatian Metal underground of that time,they were also here,A very good performance ruined by the breaking of a guitar string,but any way here is a part of their show,2 and half songs,at least for the collectors to have a moment of this band on tape.

Tracks;
01.unknown title (cut in)
02.unknown title
03.unknown title
