UNLOGIC SKILL (Cro) - Demotracks 1995

This is stuff I am desperately searchin for the last few years..I am searching for the complete demo, even I have three tracks on various compilation tapes. So I decided to put them here all together, just because it is a band I loved very much in their early phase. Later they got signed for a major Croatian label, wimped out the music and started singing in Croatian, which turned me off instantly. But what I want to remember here is the chaos and incredibly wild gigs they had before they sucked. It was a bunch of great guys playing Rap-Metal (yes, that one) but with an incredible intensity (I just can`t forget the chaos on their gigs at the chorus of White Nigga, maaaan !!) . So here is this demo, to remind me and you of this great band, a proof that going Major sometimes can ruin everything in just one move. Recommended as fuck !!

PS: this post is dedicated to the loving memory of Damir Badurina-Bada, found dead few years ago. R.I.P. Bada. (in the video the guy with the red shirt on the interview)

Tracks:

01.Show me the way

02.Unlogic skill

03.White nigga

I am damn sure you`re gonna like this one; a great production (I followed here and there the production process through the vocalists Facebook profile) and great unique tracks! The ideal combination for this great band. Get it, fuckers!

METRO (Ser) - Cupave Glave, lp 1983

Hard Rock, man. Balkanian Hard Rock. If you heard Griva, Divlje Jagode and similiar bands, this is something in that way. I have to thank Roihlem for this lost record, I didn`t ever heard of it back in time, and even is a 56 kbps vinyl rip, I must tell that it is pretty fair. For Hard Rock lovers.

Tracks:

01.U krizi sam

02.Ustani i pevaj

03.Probudi se generacijo

04.Kad udjes u svet paklenih andjela

NEVERFALL (Slo) - EP 2007

From Slovenia we got some more modern power thrashing, Neverfall are a band I received from my contributor from Slovenia (forgot the name, sorry :( ) and I must tell that even if it is a small country, there is a pretty rich and healthy Metal scene there.This stuff here is certainly worth your attention, perfectly played and produced, a demo that you must have in your collection.

Tracks:

01.Digout the past

02.Love evolves

03.Cry alone

04.Eyes of destiny

NEVERFALL - EP 2007

THRAW (Slo) - Promopack 2009

So, if you want some greatly played Thrash Metal from this part of the world, here is the slovenian Thraw for you. This is how a good TM demo should sound; great production, great execution, and that is it. We already had Thraw here few months ago (and all with thanx to my Slovenian contributor - to whom I apologise for losing his name...) and if you liked their previous stuff, this is the extension you needed.

Tracks:

01.Pandemic reflection

02.Condemnation

03.Mage`s rage

04.Obscene anatomist

05.A piece of madness

THRAW - PROMOPACK 2009

DAY WITHOUT THE SUN (Ser) - Nameless, EP 2010

Now, a good band.They are actually a project of the mainman Dushan Choco, and musically are really strong and have great melodies. If I have to say it all, on this EP the weakest point is the vocalist, which may surely be a little stronger and more stabile. But for the rest, a very nice EP yuo will enjoy for sure, if you like post-rock and/or experimental Metal.

Tracks:

01.Nameless

02.Senescence

03.Beginning is where I end

04.Adapted

DAY WITHOUT THE SUN - NAMELESS , EP 2010

ANESTHESIA (Cro) - Iza Zida , demo 1988

Well.. I don`t know, I should say something about this demo from this Croatian band, probably the most popular band of the second wave of Thrash Metal, but mostly because of an incredible support by the national television. This time I won`t tell anything about this demo.I know, maybe it is a little unfair for you, but I am not surely the one who will say anything good about them.It is on personal level, so let it be this way. I put here this demo because of the collectors of Croatian metal, for all those who are collecting Thrash Metal from all over the world.Enough said.

Tracks:

01.Intro

02.Kurva

03.Kraj

04.Sad il` nikad

05.Iza zida

06.Zmije

ANESTHESIA - IZA ZIDA, DEMO 1988

POP START (ex-Yu) - compilation album 1975

Unfortunately, for the moment there is no pic of the cover, I have the vinyl and I have to find some time to make a pic of it.Meanwhile, here is a great ex-yugoslavian Rock-bands compilation, and this is a really, REALLY nice one.It goes from the Korni Grupa (featuring Zlatko Pejakovic!) , through my favourites Indexi, the masters Smak, then the pre-Bijelo Dugme band VIS Jutro (!!), Yu Grupa and the psychedelic Pop Masina. A really good compilation, and one of the rare featuring all bads that have their names engraved in gold in the history of Yugoslav Rock music. Enjoy this one!

KAZJUROL (Swe) - A Lesson In Love , demo 1988

Woow, here is a long gone and forgotten tape I found in a drawer, this is dated 1988, from my tape trading days, and this is a great one. Kazjurol were a swedish band succesfully balancing between Hardcore and Thrash Metal, actually joining them in 5 great tracks featured on this demo. This is something I must share with you, because it is soooo fucking great! Notice the parody of the famous Exodus track in the title! Awesome!

Tracks:

01.The power of expression

02.Multi-dead world

03.Merciless insanity

04.Echoes from the past

05.Honesty-the right excuse

KAZJUROL - A LESSON IN LOVE , DEMO 1988

NIHIL QUEST (Pol) - 0.9 , EP 2009

Here`s more stuff I got directly from the band, and that makes me so happy, because there won`t be anything wrong with putting stuff from bands who gave their permission.

This is a nice band coming from Poland and playing some great and modern mix of Hard Rock and Heavy Metal, and sounding really powerful, this is an EP I recommend you for your car music!

Tracks:

01.(Also sprach) Franky

02.Holy nailhead

03.Chemical savior

NIHIL QUEST - 0.9 , EP 2009

RIBLJA CORBA (Ser) - Hala Pionir, Beograd 08.12.1985.

I found this recording somewhere on the net, and in this rar file you will find also the VIDEOS for both songs. Riblja Corba sucks shit lately (IMHO), but back until the 90s they were probably the biggest band in Yugoslavia (with Bijelo Dugme) and this stuff is from 1985, so from their mark II line-up and their second best part of their whole carreer (the mark I line-up is simply too good to be comparised with anything they did after). Enjoy history.

Tracks:

01.Prica o Ziki Zivcu

02.Pogledaj dom svoj andjele

RIBLJA CORBA - HALA PIONIR, BEOGRAD 08.12.1985.

PUNGENT STENCH (Austria) - Live Arena Vienna 09.12.1988

And here`s a very nice bootleg from the Austrian Death Metal masters, a soundboard recording of Pungent Stench from their best period, the pre-For God Your Soul period. The tracks are all timeless classics, and the last two songs are from a different show, an audio recording, but all worth having! Enjoy!

Tracks:
01.Intro
02.Extreme deformity
03.In the vault
04.Mucous secretion
05.Festered offals
06.Hypnos
07.Pulsating protoplasma

RAPID FORCE (Ser) - Hero, EP 2001

And here`s another band from Serbia, very nice Thrash Metal, with a very good production
and excellently played.This is their EP from 2001, and you know that we already have their stuff back here, so they should not be new to usual visitors of this blog. Enjoy pure Metal.

Tracks:
01.Hero
02.Who wept for them
03.Worthless

RAPID FORCE - HERO , EP 2001

CRAMPS (U.S.A.) - Off the bone, lp 1987

I love this band! Oh yeah, I love them a lot. And this is a nice compilation LP I bought a long time ago, and I found the "improved cover" version, with the 3D cover design (I put that version here, so if you have the 3D goggles put them on and see how it looks).As for the music, this is the record I fell in love to this band.The songs are great, this is a true "best of" album, and if you ever wanted anything by The Cramps, then this is not a warm, this is a very hot recommendation!

Tracks:
01.Human fly
02.The way I walk
03.Domino
04.Surfin` bird

CRAMPS - OFF THE BONE, LP 1987

HAZE (Cro) - Nation of halussy , cassette 1994

To continue with the bands from Pula, here is one band of brief existence, and in their brief existence they released a cassette for the label Bonaca, KUD Idijoti`s boss Sale Veruda`s label.
This band is made by musicians from known underground bands (Pneumonia, FMD, Hatross) and they play this Stoner Rock/Grunge material, which is actually excellent even if the recording is a little bit lower quality (not that low anyway).Worth having it!And endless thanx to Florijan for this one!

Tracks:
01.The trip
02.Our helpless God
03.Full
04.The tribe
05.Paper drug on

This cd contains both demos from 1987 and 1989, plus a live track from the first bands headlining gig, and two (three) rehearsal tracks.The whole cd is packed into a perfectly designed booklet and cover, and with it you get an extra sheet with lyrics in chinese.

S.L.O.D. (Slo) - Demo 1986

This is another band sent to me by Rohleim, it is a Slovenian band and one of the first bands in the Balkans (with Evil Blood, Devastation and Heller) to play Thrash Metal.Actually, this band is more into Death Metal (and it means way before it exploded!!) than into Thrash.This is more or less a fair recording, and an extremely important document of the Balkan Thrash scene of that period.

Tracks:
01.Fate
02.Horror tale
03.Malicious death
04.Planet on the point of death
05.Sick transit gloria mundi

KURO (Jpn) - Discography 1983-1986 , cd 2003

Allright, let`s go with some good old Punk-HC music, this is a relatively unknown band following the steps of Exploited, GBH and some Discharge, so you have a picture of how can it sound.This is the collection of recordings from these Japanese Punx, enjoy!

Tracks:
01.Public circle
02.Wa-ke-me

KURO - DISCOGRAPHY 1983-1986 , CD 2003

KUD IDIJOTI (Cro) - Demo 1 1984

A band that after 30 years still rocks off your butt without a problem deserves to be here.When you add to it the fact that they are from Pula, and that they are probably the best Punk Rock band in/from the Balkans, it would be a crime not to put their opus here. We already had a lot of stuff from them, let`s add more. This is their first 1984 demo (they had 2 demos that year, the second will follow soon!), the sound is fair, and the interesting fact is the track no.2, which is non existing(!).There is the title, even a split title, but you will not find this second track anywhere..strange.However, the rest of the demo is very listeneable, pure old-school Punk Rock!

Tracks:
01.Io sono dittatore
(02.Volim kada sunce sja-Kad sunce opet zadje pt.1)
03.Mi krademo pt.1
04.Oliver
05.Mina mina
06.Frijuli
07.O bella ciao
08.Tko zna pt.1
09.Sexa bojler no
10.Onako s boka
