What can be said,this is a blog where I will post some stuff I really like,so I think you should like it too.I am a metalhead to the heart,but I will put here every kind of stuff I like,not only Metal.I hope you will enjoy it,and let me know if there is anything needed,especially from the ex-Yugoslavia territory.
Cheers!
Well, here is an Ep I got directly from the band, if I am not wrong.What we have here is a perfectly recorded piece of Metalcore/Melodic Deth Metal.This material is not bad, the band is really great live, so for all the interested, you have also their website adress here.
This is a band from the interesting Karlovac scene of the 90s.They played an excellent HC/Punk and this is the only demo the band did during their 4 years of playing.Unfortunately no pic or vid by this band, but I assure you that if you love good HC Punk, this is it.

This is a blog about the Pula (and a little wider, the Istrian) scene, only bands from Pula in there.I will first put there all posts of all bands I posted here, and that blog is a blog for all those interested exclusively in bands and artists from Pula. Welcome
Borghesia was a Slovenian band (with one member originally from Pula, let`s get it straight) that played Electrobody/Wave music, and they were along with Laibach probably one of the most progressive bands coming from Slovenia.This stuff you have here is the cd release which differs from the original LP in the position of the songs as well as in quantity of the songs.The vinyl contains 8 songs, while here are three more.For the lovers of electronic music, recommended. PS: Here is the controversial video for Discipline.
Tracks: 01.Goli, uniformirani, mrtvi (hot trash mix) 02.She is not alone 03.Message (act up mix) 04.Goli, uniformirani, mrtvi (poppers mix) 05.Rumours (after midnight mix) 06.Tako mladi 07.Message (medialink mix) 08.Discipline 09.She is not alone (driller lover mix) 10.Raga (in memoriam Goran Devide) 11.Dreamless
Well, to end this old-school block, and after the first issue some time back, here`s the second issue of a fanzine from Slovenia, exactly a one made by one of the most active figure in the Slovenian MetalHC scene of that time, mr. Bostjan Jurecic.This is a nicely done zine, a little bit bad copied, but another important document of that time. LSN, PHANTASM, THANATOS, LEGACY, DARK ANGEL, POSSESSED, G-ANX, OUTRAGE, CARNAGE, CYCLONE, MUTILATION, ANGEL DEATH, DARKNESS, DESEXULT, VOOR, CELTIC FROST, AMEBIX..this is what you will find inside this one, so grab it now!
Here is another pearl from the old school archive, this is one of many rehearsals and live tapes of S.O.D. you can find on the net.This one have a fair sound, pretty clear.And of course all their biggest hits, right? S.O.D. RULES FOREVER!!
Tracks: 01.Fuck the middle east 02.Momo 03.Speak English or die 04.United forces 05.Ram it up 06.Milk 07.Fist banging mania 08.Milano mosh 09.Vitality 10.Diamonds and rust 11.Chromatic death 12.Ballad of Jimi Hendrix 13.Freddy Krueger 14.NOT 15.No turning back 16.Kill yourself
Let`s go on with the old school material..NA demo from 1984, a very early showdown of what this band should sound like.And it was good enough to assure them a record deal at once.Of course, essential for the old school metalheads.
Live in Japan 2007
Tracks: 01.Stranded in hell 02.Nightmares 03.Cold steel 04.The plague 05.Cross of iron 06.Vengeance 07.Hang the pope
I loved this band way back in the 80s, and relistening to their stuff is soooo fucking good..This is German old school Thrashin` at its best.This is the bands fourth demo (they recorded 7 demos before they released their debut album Death Squad! - at least, they released an album..), and the sound is not that bad.Actually for a demo from 1989, it Thrashes really good!!
An awesome video, back in time..
..and live 2006!!
Tracks: 01.The gates (intro) 02.Beyond the gates of death 03.Death squad 04.Armageddon 05.Legacy of blood 06.Titanic war
As already told, Serbia is a country of million metal bands, but what I like the most is their Thrash Metal scene, with a lot of excellent and very talented bands.This is one of those, a band where my friend Stole sings.This is their first EP from 2008, pure old-school Thrash Speed Metal, for all like me, for those who knows that only the good old sound rules!I love this band!
Tracks: 01.Straight to hell 02.Fuck holly war 03.Suck my balls 04.Deadly mosh
Well, here are news from one of my favourite Croatian bands, my friends from Popeye.They played three weeks ago here in Varazdin, and Zheeka (second from the left) played in their van some tracks from the new cd "Cijena slobode" soon to be released.I can assure you that the album will be a blast, at least for the people who love nu-metal (and believe me, in Croatia the number of fans raised drasticly after the Limp Bizkit show here in Varazdin, sic). In this advance track, Popeye have a great guest, the istrian etno-jazz singer Tamara Obrovac, which fits perfectly in this combination.So, if you like, here`s a taste of what will be their full album.
This compilation was a very succesful one, almost a cult.It had almost every significant act of the new-wave invasion , including Bijelo Dugme who also turned from the leading Hard Rock act to a New Wave/Ska band..But if you want to have a really very good compilation of the ex-Yugoslavian new wave, this is definitely a must.
BIJELO DUGME
HAUSTOR
ELEKTRICNI ORGAZAM
Tracks: 01.BIJELO DUGME - Ha, ha, ha 02.HAUSTOR - Moja prva ljubav 03.ZANA - Pepito pantalone 04.SARLO AKROBATA - Ona se budi 05.LABORATORIJA ZVUKA - Ska-kavac joj zaso u rukavac 06.ELEKTRICNI ORGAZAM - Konobar 07.FILM - Zamisli zivot u ritmu muzike za ples 08.IDOLI - Retko te vidjam sa devojkama 09.AZRA - Poziv na ples 10.AERODROM - Stavi pravu stvar 11.BULEVAR - Nestasni decaci 12.PEKINSKA PATKA - Bolje da nosim kratku kosu
This one is for the collectors of old Punk Rock bands stuff.Gaznevada were from Italy, and this is their first tape dated 1979.The sound is different from song to song, which is pretty confusing, but it is the content of this tape, probably made of various recordings. All in all, not bad at all, and this one is brought to you by Vladimir!
Tracks: 01.Everybody enjoy the reggae music 02.Criminale 03.Donna di gomma 04.Bestiale 05.Mamma dammi la benza 06.Teleporno TV 07.Johnny (fallo per me) 08.Roipnol 09.Nevadagaz
Ohhhhhhh yesssssss!! Finally!! Many of you asked me to upload this EP, and I found just now a vinyl-rip I did 4-5 years ago..I bought this EP by mail in 1988, and of course expected some hard grinding and blasting. When it arrived to me, I was very surprised by the content, but in the same time very amused by this EP. It lasts 3 minutes sharp but it is a load of fun and distortion (especially distortion!). My warm recommendation!!! Eat my yellow banana, hahaha!!!
Tracks: 01.Festering pus 02.Freeze-dried foetus 03.Eat my yellow banana
A compilation I got from my guitarist Mladen, something released after I moved from Pula to Varazdin.This compilation holds five bands from Pula, all rehearsing in the Karlo Rojc community.This is material of high musical quality, all bands with great recordings, two songs by each bands. I know that many Croatian Metal fans will get this one for Nailed and Skepsis +. Enjoy.
Tracks: 01.SPOILED IQ - Ground of reality 02.SKEPSIS + - Redrum 03.MAD FACE - On sale class 04.NEWTONE - Holy man 05.PHALEON - Desert dance 06.MAD FACE - Fairy tale 07.SPOILED IQ - H.C.F.L. 08.SKEPSIS + - Clarity 09.PHALEON - Repository 10.NEWTONE - Journey
This is the last album from this hypermusician from Montenegro, a great work of strange funky jazzy rock with extremely ironic yet intelligent lyrics.The interesting fact about this album is that Rambo (real name Antonije Pusic) asked the fans through myspace to invent the cover for this album.This one was (one of) the result. For all those who love chillin` music.
Tracks: 01.Biologija, neurofiziologija 02.Hipisizik, metafizik 03.Don Kihote i Sanco Pansa (vetrenjace vs auspusi) 04.Budala 05.Operater 06.Urbano, samo urbano 07.Onano nano grand waltz blues (uvodno Francisco Tarrega gran waltz) 08.Fela Kuti, druze stari 09.Vatrogasci 10.Holesteroll and rock n` roll
My old buddy and contributor to this blog, Florijan, sent me this demo of a brandnew band from Pula, a demo finished just three days ago.This is a very young band, and I am glad there is bands who play good old Heavy Metal, and this is something I would not like to compare with anything, I hope the band will continue this way, and we`ll have surely more good stuff in the future!
Tracks: 01.Suicide notes 02.Double walkers 03.Lullaby 04.The end
This split album/CD with demos from both bands is already cult stuff, so here is my little contribution in spreading great material.The demos featured here are totally powerful, the recordings are loud and raw, yet good sounding good.A must for all those who like extreme metal.
Tracks: TERRORIZER 01.Corporation pull-in 02.Human prey 03.Infestation 04.Ripped to shreds 05.Strategic warheads 06.After world obliteration 07.Fall out NAUSEA 08.Why judge others 09.Think for yourself 10.World chaos 11.Will it ever end 12.World downfall 13.Condemned systems 14.Suffer 15.Starving nations 16.The end
One of the first underground records/albums coming out from the rich Pula Punk scene.Both bands are already featured on this blog, so I will only repeat that Fakofbolan (aka FOB) plays some strong street Punk, and Dark Busters are easily comparable with NoMeansNo.One interesting fact: the cover of the vinyl is intentionally made half centimeter bigger, so it is easily noticeable among other records in your collection.Clever move.This is a great vinyl rip.
Tracks: FAKOFBOLAN 01.Kota 313 02.Ropstvo je sloboda 03.Ne zelim biti tvoj 04.Rodjen da gubim 05.Metak 06.Mrznja 07.O.K. 08.Imamo hrvatsku 09.Neprilagodljiv tip DARK BUSTERS 10.Compromise 11.Mrtav DJ 12.War 13.Because off 14.Hard drugs 15.Anarcho-vegetarian boy 16.Hrvatska danas
The vocalist and frontman of the serbian Thrash Metal band SPACE EATER , Boško Radišić (29) died last night around midnight in a fire in his apartment in Belgrade.His sister Marija (26) died in the fire too. Damn.. R.I.P. Boško and Marija.
PS:Yesterday I wrote "UNKNOWN FRIEND", but I remembered that somebody from the band sent me an e-mail to thank me for posting their album..It was Bosko..
