GRUUTHAAGY (Cro) - Terror agenda , demo 200x

Ok, we are running to the end of this year, and I want to leave you in great mood for the next year, so I will be posting today more stuff for you to enjoy until our next meeting, which may be already tomorrow, but that is already next year, so..
Gruuthagy displayed the list of releases he did throughout the years, and believe me, you will rarely find a band/project so active as this one..This is one of the numerous recording he did (I am talking about HE, because it is well known that Gruuthagy is KKTZ and vice versa) and it is a usual weird mixture of music, very aggressive and direct.More to follow, of course..

Tracks:
01.Astral suicide
02.Viva la morte
03.Praise thee lucifire
04.A bullet from beyond
05.Scavenger U.S.A.
06.Take your time and die

GRUUTHAAGY - TERROR AGENDA , DEMO 200x

BOGAMBER (BiH) - Nevjerovanje , cd 2008

This is a Bosnian band which is very popular in the region, playing a kind of Thrash Metal with a strong retro feeling.I don`t like them much, the band with a vocalist who talks (he don`t sing or scream or whatever, he just talks??!!) is not a challenge, the music is excellent, and has a great production, but the vocal tears it all down.They remind me a lot to Bombarder, and you know my feelings about Bombarder, so here is almost the same.I saw them few years ago live as support to Tankard, and it was a great set, with the crowd going totally crazy..if you separate the vocal, the rest is great.

Tracks:
01.Psujevjerje
02.Nevjerovanje
03.Pijandura
04.Nesto ostro zabodeno u glavu
05.Totalno me zbuni
06.Retrogradni pervertit
07.Pren´jelo ga bijelo
08.Napola lud
09.Demonsko opelo
10.Hibernaut
11.Navadili se na rovca
12.Slovo se
13.Na kraju krajeva

BOGAMBER - NEVJEROVANJE , CD 2008

AT WAR (U.S.A.) - Eat lead , demo 1985

At War was a great band, one of the underrated bands of the "heavier" Metal scene.This is their first demo dated 1985, excellent production and great stuff here, a band that surely deserved a higher position in the Metal scene back in the 80s.Well, they play again now, but you have to start from the beginning.

Tracks:
01.Rapechase
02.Eat lead

AT WAR - EAT LEAD , DEMO 1985

THANATOS (Hol) - Speed kills , demo 1985

Oh, yeah, this is surely pure old-school European Thrash Metal, and plus played someway harsh and unprecise, but very loud and Thrashy.This is also an old request, and I am glad I can fulfill your wishes.For old-school metalheads strictly!

Tracks:
01.Prodrome
02.Speed kills
03.The howling
04.Blind obediance
05.Voyage of the damned

THANATOS - SPEED KILLS , DEMO 1985

MERCY (Swe) - Swedish Metal , mini-lp 1982

This beauty is an ep of pure NWOBHM made in Sweden! Actually it is the band of a guy with Croatian roots, Andrija Veljaca (R.I.P.) which also sings on this mini-lp, and this is the only release with him on vocals, on the next full lenght album the vocals will be taken by Messiah Marcolin, who will -after ending the story with Mercy- become the protective sign of Candlemass..enjoy this classic!

Tracks:
01.State of shock
02.Don`t stop Heavy guitar
03.Heavy sound
04.Lost in time
05.Stranger in the dark

MERCY - SWEDISH METAL , MINI-LP 1982

SINOVI (Cro) - demo 1988

Here`s another New Wave Punk band from Pula, as you may have noticed Pula was very crowded with bands by the end of the 80s, this is a band that lived shortly and thank God an audible evidence remained.And here it is..thank Vladimir for this!

Tracks:
01.7000 ljudi
02.Previse zvuka
03.Sestra
04.Ustanak

SINOVI - DEMO 1988

THE BLEEDING (Cro) - Promo tape 1996

Alright, here is a band that I never liked, for many reasons, but mostly because Doom Metal and Stoner Rock (Black Sabbath included!!) were never my favourite, and I can count on half of one hand the Doom bands I like..but, it is a request by some of you, so here it is, by kind courtesy of Kktz from Corpus Delicti blog, the last promo tape this band did before they disbanded.There was already their EP here, and a live track on one compilation, so we miss just their promo 1993.Meanwhile, throw yourself into desperation and depression with this one, if you enjoy that..

Tracks:
01.Fantaman`s return
02.Abstract superworld
03.Space lizard
04.The cultivator

THE BLEEDING - PROMO TAPE 1996

TROMATISM (Fra) - Je ne veux plus avoir mal , ep 1994

Now, this is a really very interesting band from the mid 90s.They were a group of French anarchists playing an interesting kind of Industrial Punk with a drum machine (and here they remind me of the slovenian Strelnikoff), but their live shows (saw them 3 times in Pula) were a 130 minutes performances, an incredible voyage through human pain and suffering, involving most of the time the audience (and also provoking incidents with the closeminded ones) .. I cannot transmit the feeling of being at one of their shows, but here is the musical part of it, and down there is the video (I have the complete show on video, just too lazy to cut it into clips) from a gig held in Slovenia, so judge yourself.Great band.

Tracks:
01.Auschwitz-planete
02.Massacre
03.Les majors-compagnies
04.Exil-mental

TROMATISM - JE NE VEUX PLUS AVOIR MAL , EP 1994

PANKERFAUST (Cro) - Zlo nevidjeno , demo 2008

Heh, here is some new stuff from Croatia..this is a new band that released this stuff in 2008, and it is a (again) perfectly produced demo, a very tight and fast crossover HC, reminds of the best Crossover bands as S.O.D. or early D.R.I. Really stuff-to-get at once!

Tracks:
01.Unisti drukcije
02.Doper
03.Odmetnik
04.I ja volim Dinamo
05.Najjaci argument
06.Ambassador of the UK

CHAINSAW DISASTER (Bra) - Disaster , mcd 2007

03.For my enemy

AMEN (Cro) - Return of the king , demo 2006

Instead of repeating the same picture again, this time without any pic, just a recording which is highly requested by a lot of followers of this blog.This is Amen`s demo recorded in the years of concert inactivity, done by the mainman Miroslav Kovacevic, so this is a guitar+drum machine+vocal recording (except for the drum machine, it reminds me of early Death), with a very clean production.And the music is a great oldschool Thrash Metal, in the (already mentioned) Death demo-phase, or late Slayer.It is totally recommended!
PS:More to follow, of course!

Tracks:
01.Post obliteration age
02.Nuclear remains
03.Fear of fate
04.Ritual
05.March of the harvester

STRELNIKOFF (Slo) - Heavy mentally retarded , cd 1993

Wow, this is tough..I already told you about Strelnikoff, this Slovenian band was an extremely exciting act in the 90s, I had the opportunity to see them live a lot of times, and believe me, it was pure adrenalin!!This Punk/Hardcore played with a loud rhythm-machine was praised by Jello Biafra himself, a nice acknowledgement.And if I am not wrong, this was also requested, so enjoy this piece of madness!!

HARD METAL - Serbian Metal magazine , May 1991

Well, those were the last days of the decomposing republic of Yugoslavia..and it can be noticed by the content, except for a small text about Drinking Skull, no Croatian bands were in it.But, let`s leave this fact behind and you have here the first Metal magazine in Yugoslavia.It is uncomparable to worlds Metal magazines, but still it was a HUGE step for the Metal scene in Yugoslavia.Too bad it was the end..All written in Serbian, with Poison, Megadeth, Pergament, Uriah Heep..album reviews of Ac/Dc, Motorhead, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest..really a lot for the fist time..
This post is by request, and I am quite sure Croatian metalheads will like it.

HARD METAL - SERBIAN METAL MAGAZINE , MAY 1991

III KANAL (Cro) - III Kanal , lp 1980

This is a less fortunate Croatian Hard `n`Heavy band`s first album.Why less fortunate?Because they never came out of anonimity, even the material we have here is not bad at all.The stuff here is for all those who like Hard Rock from the Balkans, and I know there is plenty of you!

EYESBURN (Ser) - Foolcontrol , cd 2000

Eyesburn were already featured earlier in this blog, this is another release from this Serbian band, playing a kind of modern Metal mixed with dubs and jungle rhythms.In some segments it might be interesting to people who love ie.

Here is the third Discharge`s EP in one year.1980 was a very good year for the band, and it announced their beautiful mini-lp Why.This ep comes with an improved production, and with one of their best track from that period, the title track Decontorol.With this ep, you have the initial ep-trilogy closed.

Tracks:
01.Decontrol
02.It`s no TV sketch
03.Tomorrow belongs to us

DISCHARGE - DECONTROL , EP 1980

HERESY + CONCRETE SOX (U.K.) - Split LP 1987

Do I have to say anything about this piece of classic vinyl??This is a cult record from the period when the enormous wave of British HC Thrash/Grindcore blasted us all.Heresy are overall probably my most favourite band of that period (well, not counting Carcass, obviously), and Concrete Sox are the perfect pair for this record.If you missed it, grab it now, an absolute must!
