Oslobodioci from Serbia are a band I didn`t knew of until my contributor Vladimir gave me a lot of stuff from them. Well, this one is a soundboard recording of a gig in Slovenia dated 1989. The stuff they play is melodic Punk Rock, so it is very listeneable!

02.Mr. Alcohol

03.Decko

04.Zabrinut

05.Posle svega

06.Elza

NEPAL (Cro) - Freak Out, demo summer 1992

This demo was given to me by my friend Marin, once the vocalist of Nepal, today the vocalist of Effatha.

The band recorded just this demo, it is cool stuff, Hard Rock with an alternative touch.

02.In need (rush)

03.My universe

04.I wanna be free now

NEPAL - FREAK OUT, DEMO SUMMER 1992

KARIZMA (Ser) - Vreme Je Za Nas, lp 1988

Oh, yeah, another fine contribution from my long-time contributor, Roihlem. Actually, this one surprised me a lot. This was a Glam Metal band from the last years of Yugoslavia`s existence. Glam Metal in Yugoslavia was pretty much a nonsense for me, but actually this band made me think of the early Osmi Putnik, so it was not impossible at all.. The music you can hear here is a quite simple and "Balcanic" Hard Rock/Glam Metal, but sounds (beside the production) very good! A piece for the collectors of ex-Yu music very nice to have in the collection !

Tracks:

01.Nocas

02.Vrati se

03.Ne zelimo kraj

04.Ti si prosla kao san

05.U noci bez sna

06.Daj mi

07.Bez tebe

08.Vreme je

09.Ko sam ja

10.Malena

KARIZMA - VREME JE ZA NAS , LP 1988

DIRTY WOMAN (Mex) - Demon Lover, cd 2010

Now, it`s time to right some wrongs I did during the posting for this blog. My friend Edson from Mexico City sent me this band about 13 months ago to review it on Audioheaven, and, frankly, it is my fault if you weren`t able to hear this band until now (deeply sorry, Eds). Well, here is a greatly produced Stoner Metal band pretty active in their homeland Mexico, for all stoner maniacs, this is surely stuff to have and consume !!

Tracks:

01.Crowned by nothingness

02.Don`t shoot

03.Inner circle of pain

04.To invade the sky

05.Master of Draconians

06.Yes, I sold my soul

07.Riding free

08.Demon lover

09.My sadness

10.Delivered to evil

11.Spreading the rage (bonus track)

DOOM MUSIC (U.S.A.) - game soundtrack 2 1995

Ehehehe, gamers... this is something that will refresh your memory (of course, I am talking to older gamers), it is music from the best FPS EVER !! I am sorry, but I am a HUGE Doom fan, and this music is a must for all the guys like me. If you don`t like this post just skip it. If you like Doom as much as I do.. grab this and reinstall it again !!

This pack contains 88 tunes from this great game !!

DOOM MUSIC - GAME SOUNDTRACK 2 1995

DOWNSTROY (Ser) - One size fits all , cd 2010

This is a great album. My band played at the same festival with this guys, and believe me, their show was a blast! This is the album they released several months after the show in Shid, and it has a great production. I wish they recorded their version of Motorhead`s "Ace of spades", which was extremely interesting, but instead of it, you have a very interesting version of Blur`s "Song 2" !!

Tracks:

01.Introduction

02.Pride (feat. Chvare)

03.You are a fool

04.Within your skin

05.Your game (feat. Marjan)

06.The keeper

07.Trapped in a machine

08.Leave me here to die

09.Song 2.1.

DOWNSTROY - ONE SIZE FITS ALL , CD 2010

VOJNI ORKESTAR GARNIZONA ZAGREB (Yug) - Koracnice JNA, lp 1971

Ehm.. I posted this document of a past time, of a now defunct state and it`s army and of communism too. This army was the third most powerful army in Europe, which was blown off by itself in the split of Yugoslavia. The JNA (Yugoslav people`s army) has a rich cultural part of its existence, and this was one of it. Every republic in the state has its own Symphonic orchestra, and this one was from Zagreb (republic of Croatia). This record dated 1971 (a symbolic year for Croatia`s independence) contains marches and traditional tunes from all around Yugoslavia. A document of something that will never happen again.

Tracks:

01.Moja domovina

02.Koracnica Yu proletera

03.Na Drini

04.Nasa krila

05.Marjane, Marjane

06.Napred

07.Gorenjska

08.Komandant Stane

09.Pozdrav nasoj armiji

10.Spomin na Soco

11.Smjelo-hrabro

12.Splitske kale

13.Bosanska narodna koracnica

14.Veselo

VOJNI ORKESTAR GARNIZONA ZAGREB - MOJA DOMOVINA , LP 1971

GILJOTINA (Slo) - Giljotina, cd 1999

Back to Slovenia, here is some good Thrash Metal from Celje, a perfect recording. I don`t know why but I would compare them to early Testament.. The stuff is sang in Slovenian so it may be additionally interesting to Thrash fans around the world !

Tracks:

01.Casa nesmrtnosti

02.Ze neki

03.Timeless world

04.Bedarija

05.Senca

06.Posasti

TORMENTRESS (Sin) - Thrashing disorder , ep 2009

Now, not only that they are very nice to see, but they are very very rude to hear !! This band proves (once again, of course) that the females are able to rock even harder than most of the male bands. This EP is pure Thrashing disorder, 4 tracks with the perfect production for the kind of metal they play. It would be a shame and a sure loss at least not to try them ! Excellent stuff!

Tracks:

01.Kuasa wanita

02.Visoes de feminista

03.State of fear

04.Thrashing disorder

TORMENTRESS - THRASHING DISORDER , EP 2009

NADIMAC (Ser) - Po Kratkom Postupku (Speed retaliation style) , cd 2011

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

Here we go ! This is an album you expected since the release of the previous one, and here is Audioheaven to give it to you in advance ! The new album from the serbian Thrash sensation Nadimac is ready, and it is about to hit every single corner of the planet. And man, what an album. Everything is great here, from the production to the structure of the songs, not to mention the great lyrics by Dacha. The lyrics are in serbian as always, but this time you have two songs in english too !! The only bad thing in the whole thing are the countless mistakes in the booklet of this release, but well, you won`t listen to the booklet, so who cares. This is an album I am gonna listen to this summer definitely. And I am not telling this just because the guys are my Thrash brothers and dear friends, you can easily find it out yourself now. Area Death Productions were really lucky to discover them and take them before everyone did, now they have a real deal to sell :) . I will not be surprised if this band do the next album for a big, really big label.

I do not need to say that this is very recommended. And Kretor can piss themselves with the Nadimac`s verion of Pleasure To Kill, hahaha..

Tracks:

01.Hapsi sve

02.Izmedju dve vatre

03.Samo kec

04.Udri pseto

05.Znakovi

06.Smrtonosni ribolov

07.Gas do daske

08.Vitezi medicine

09.Kicma puca

10.Lapot

11.Bekstvo od slobode

12.Pleasure to kill

13.Suicidal command

14.Grinding crossfire

NADIMAC - PO KRATKOM POSTUPKU (SPEED RETALIATION STYLE) , CD 2011

YU PUNK VOL.1 (1978-1982) , compilation cd 2008

Well, this is what I call a nice compilation of ex-Yugoslavian (actually, Yugoslavian at that time!) Punk. I am not gonna write down the tracklist, as it is really rich, and you can easily see the content on the back cover. I just can tell you that if you ever wondered how Punk sounded in a "communist" country like Yugoslavia, here is the answer. Enjoy!

DIAMOND DUST (Cro) - Demo 2007

Tracks:

01.Hooligan

02.Rise again

03.World of misery

04.Destiny words

05.Innocent guilt

NEW BLOG FOR YOU !!!

http://totalnosamljut.blogspot.com/

This is a blog I was asked to give a word about, but I am doing it very gladly, as this is a blog created by Hoc and Jule, the guys of Bolesno Grinje and countless other bands/projects. As far as I understood, this is a blog where they will post all their works, so it is an absolute MUST ! Check it out !

SIHIRATOR - A.S. rehearsal demo 2010

And finally, I can post this relatively new Thrash Metal band from Bosnia, a band that deservedly gets more airplay every day. This recording is, as the name says, a rehearsal demo so the sound is just as a rehearsal should sound; raw and violent. The lyrics, as far as I understood is equal to black metal, only they don`t sing against christianity, but against muslims, which I must admit is very brave. Soon I will put also their first demo, so if you like this one, then keep on following the blog posts !

Tracks:

01.Silovanje na minberu

02.Meshur

03.Tespih of pain

04.U mesdzidu

SIHIRATOR - A.S. REHEARSAL DEMO 2010

ZHEL (Cro) - Northern Eye, Southern Blood, Western Bullet, Eastern God, cd 1996

Now, something for those who like something different, something to sit and listen, but so exciting to make your blood runs faster.Inspired by old masters as Nick Drake and Tom Buckley, Zhel (from Pula, of course) made this very intimate and obscure record which instantly became cult, first in our city and then much much wider. I cannot miss to say that the ballad "It`s going to get you" is one of my all times favourite, and not only for the ex-yu territory !! Recommended to persons with wider views on music.

Tracks:

01.Postcard to some people

02.Magnifier light

03.It`s going to get you

04.Evening shot

09.The whale song

10.Promised

11.Amsterdam, funeral, party, chansone

!! bonus tracks !!

We played this summer with this band, a band that left a very strong impression on my band, I hope we will be soon able to play some gigs together in Croatia, as well as in Serbia, where they come from. What we got here is old school Death Metal, the first one which was balancing between Death and Thrash. The material is dated 1994, the band still goes strong, and released new material last year, so you will have some new stuff here very soon. Meanwhile, enjoy this one !

DOOM MUSIC (U.S.A.) - Knee deep in the dead, game soundtrack 1995

Hah, I got you now! Well, all I can say about this awesome game is that this is the ONLY game I am still playing since my first computer experience in 1995. I played it also on PS1 and I still have it in my computer in 2010. And still playing it over and over again. This music is something that die-hard Doom lovers like me will have. And every tune will throw you back in the dungeons where you have been for hundreds of times, killing Imps, Zombies, Cacodaemons and similiar slime of the world of Doom.

Tracks:

01.e1m1-At DOOM`s gate

02.e1m2-The Imp`s song

CHAINED IN AGONY (Cro) - Mind Abortion, demo cd 2010

This cd was given to me by the guitarist of the band, three weeks ago when we played a gig together in Varazdin. CIA are a great band very loud and very strong, playing a kind of melodic Death Metal and being a good live act. The cd is brandnew so get it while it is hot !

Tracks:

01.Intro

02.Malfunction

03.Gray end

04.Obscure deception

05.Mind abortion

CHAINED IN AGONY - MIND ABORTION , DEMO CD 2010

BOZJE OVCICE (Cro) - Tvoj sam, singletrack promo cd+dvd 2010

This is a band (translated as "Little Sheeps of God") I really love a lot. I got this great promo cd+dvd from the vocalist at the Glasnici Nade promotion in St.Nicholas Church in Varazdin, and I must tell that this promo surprised me a lot. First of all graphically is a beautiful and handful cover, and after the little disappointment of having just one song on the cd, the surprise in form of a DVD with the well done video for that song !!! So, while we wait a full release from these guys (and girl, pardon, on bass guitar!), enjoy this punky track "I am yours".

Track:

01.Tvoj sam
