ANTITOPLES (Cro) - Rehearsal 2008

Allright,all-girl Punk band.Actually,those girls are active just a little more than a year,and they have already a good following and a cool amount of played gigs.I saw them accidentally the first time last year at the opening of the Varazdin`s Trash Film Festival,and they was a very pleasant surprise to me.Down here you have the video of a part of that first show,it was not perfectly played (not that anyone expected so) but it was immensely pretty.I saw them another time later,and the band is improving it`s skills,from gig to gig.This post comes as an announcement of their gig in Cakovec on September the 13th.On a Punk Rock festival,the Punk Chicks will have their performance playing alongside with KUD Idijoti (can`t wait for that!).And so,here is their first unofficial recordings,a rehearsal recorded on a dictaphone,not of great quality,very raw but enough to hear how they improved.Nice one,girls,see you on the show!!

..and few more vids:

Tracks:
01.Nikad od pankera covjeka
02.Pank za sve
03.Si na shank roke (Ramones cover)

EXCLUSIVE !!! EXCLUSIVE !!! EXCLUSIVE !!!

Finally!! There passed a long time since we had those maniacs here!!Now,I have the privilege to be the first to offer you this insane product of total rakija-fueled Grindcore.
I met the guys personally recently at the Grind Your Mind festival in Varazdin,and as persons you cannot imagine how great and pleasant are those guys,but as band..I admit,I haven`t seen such an amount of audio-brutality with an exciting stage show EVER!!A band that instantly became one of my top 5 Croatian bands.This promo cd was promised to me that day,as soon as it came from the masterisation in Czech Rep.,and I really thank the band for sending me it at once.
I hope I will see them live again very soon,and they will soon play in Vienna 2 times,so if you are able,go and see this ultrainsane Grindcore display of brutality.Oh yes,I forgot,and try Zoran`s excellent Rakija (grape brandy),winner of silver medal on a Rakija contest (believe me,it deserves pure gold!!).
Dedicated to all grindcore maniacs.A great thank you to the guys in the band!
P.S: The video here is my shooting and it is from the mentioned GYM festival performance.

40 GRADI - PROMO CD 2008

ROCK GODDESS (U.K.) - Rock goddess , lp 1983

Now,to finish this "female celebration day",the best female Metal album I have ever heard (with Girlschool`s Hit And Run,of course).Those three beauties up here (I have to be very careful with calling them beauties,as the guitarist/vocalist Jody Turner was 17,and her sister,the drummer Julie Turner at the time of recording this album was only 12 years old!!!)(and the drums,very rhytmical and strong,are IMO the best part of this album!) recorded this debut album under the production of Vic Maile (Motorhead,Girlschool...oooops,same story??No way this time.),and at the time I heard it for the first time (back in 83) it was one of the best Metal albums of the moment!You have to try it,if you like Metal melodic and raw,but very very strong.Oh yeah,I almost forgot:the last two tracks are not featured on the original vinyl release.I recommend especially tracks 6-11..fucking great!!
PS:The first vid here is for the track My Angel,and the bass here is played by Kelly Johnson of Girlschool (instead of Tracy Lamb,who played the album!).

Tracks:
01.Heartache
02.Back to you
03.The love lingers still
04.To be betrayed
05.Take your love away
06.My angel

08.Start running
09.One way love
10.Make my night

12.In the heat of the night
13.Our love`s gone

An all-female NY based band playing Speed-Power Metal..Sounds nice,right?Well this album is a very good one,a contribution by my friend Bartol.It is from 1986,and the interesting thing is that the stuff you can hear on this album is written by David Defeis from Virgin Steele,the same guys that made the cult band-project Exorcist.If you like the good oldskool Speed Metal,this one is for you!

CRNA KRONIKA (Cro) - live 198x

Again,a band I don`t know nothing about,but it came on a very rare tape I got from a friend here in Varazdin,a band that was active in the 80s,and that left no other trace (at least for what I know).However,this is a nice soundboard live recording from the early 80s,and I got it on a tape along with a live recording by another band from Varazdin,Autoput (already featured here).Of course,no titles here,and I hope you will enjoy this pretty recording.

BALTAK (Mac/Australia) - Kral na dva svetoj , cd 2000

After Arhont,here`s another Macedonian band,this time we have a very loud and fast Black Metal band,with topic about Macedonia and its history.It is a bit strange,as the band is purely Australian based,only Gorgoroth`s (the guy that is almost everything in the band,except for the played drum parts) parents are Macedonian,and the nationalistic vein in the topic draws origins from there.As I said,a very loud and fast album,created for those who like the total extremity in music.And again,a contribution from Tasko (tnx!)!

Tracks:
01.Pravo za Egipet (Car na Egipet)
02.Makedonija ke se vrati
03.Svetot moj

06.Bucevole
07.Makedonska falanga

09.Stench of death-Reaking the heavens

ELUJ (Cro) - Eluj3 , cd 2008

I am very proud I can present to you now this cd,completely made by my dear friend Jule from Bolesno Grinje.He is the one man band ELUJ,you had the opportunity to find his first album "Eva.." earlier in this blog,but now I am presenting you some extremely fresh stuff,recorded very recently in Jule`s own studio.This is his third album,all instruments and everything performed by one of the most (if not the most) productive and talented guy in Pula.Raw and in-your-face Hardcore,with a pinch-just a pinch-of Metal riffings,at his best.
My sincere recommandation.

NOW:Fuck the description I wrote up here,with a repetitive listening to this album,I noticed that it is Metalized and heaviest than it first looked.Listening to the first song,I am sure you might think it is a SLAYER TUNE!!!

Try it!!

Tracks:
01.Ja nikad necu stati
02.Drkam
03.Konobarice
04.Droga je pojela pank
05.Bjezite glavom bez obzira

BOLESNO GRINJE (Cro) - Nitko nas ne vidi..ali mi ipak postojimo , cd 2006

Here`s another one from the Masters.This is the last full lenght album by BG,dated 2006,and the band (after releasing an EP and a split-cd with M.Cockroach) is in the studio prepairing 18 new tracks for the next full album.Their sound is now even more brutal,but hey..listen to this one,it is very extreme too.BG cannot miss,it is obvious.

DEPONIA (Ser) - Sick skara , cd 2002

Darko from Sid (Serbia) is a constant contributor of this blog,and is sending me very interesting bands from Serbia.This one is from his town,from Sid (Shid) , and Deponia are a great interesting Thrash-Core Metal band.This is their second cd from 2002,they haven`t done anything after this,but for the moment enjoy this interesting band.

ARISSE (Cro) - Nacht traum , demo 1994

Well,this is something that you miss in your collection.Sent to me by my contributor Damir from Australia,this is a rare demo of a band from Rijeka that left really almost no visible trace (pics or vids),but they left this great Thrashing demo.Exciting oldskool Thrash,with a fair production.The only bad thing about them is that they are labeled as nazis,even there are absolutely no proofs of that.The Hitler`s voice in the title song,and the refrain Sieg Heil maybe can lead you to such conclusion,but you need to read the lyrics to know what they are actually about.As the lyrics are not available,enjoy the music and forget about the Hitler thing,you don`t need it anyway.

Tracks:
01.Intro
02.Brave new world
03.I`m the master
04.Massacre
05.I see the death
06.Nacht traum
07.Whore
08.Force of frozen corpse
09.Apocalyptic sexual confusion+Outro

ARISSE - NACHT TRAUM , DEMO 1994

ARHONT (Mac) - Arhont , cd 2008

This is a nice contribution I received from a macedonian friend Tasko,a band I am listening for the first time.I am surprised with the level of technicality in the stuff by these boys from Bitola.The album is recorded in Bulgaria,and as my friend Tasko described,it is "Morbid Angel,Nile,Immolation and Behemoth all in one!".And you better believe him..

Tracks:
01.Of dreams
02.I, revenant
03.The gate
04.Crimsonize
05.Serpent`s knowledge
06.Vodocha
07.Lament introduction into the funeral procession of the opulent emperor buried under pearly waters
08.Dear dead dawn
09.From embryodirge to funeral scenes

ARHONT - ARHONT , CD 2008

MALKUTH (Cro) - Demo 2007

A relatively new band from Croatia,Malkuth plays a kind of Gothic Black Metal with a lot of keys and piano,and a very sad atmosphere.Nothing revolutionary,but a new part of the Croatian Metal scene.This is their first demo,and in 2007 they released another one.

Tracks:
01.Requiem for a feeble mind
02.Forests of sorrow
03.Illusions of the night
04.Silent whispering wind
05.For the damned...
