NECROSPHERE (Ita) - Revived , cd 2003

I am proud I can present to you one of the best Italian Death Metal bands ever,and I can`t avoid to add - with the best Italian (and much larger) Death Metal drummer.Necrosphere was born from the ashes of Cenotaph,and raised their musicianship and technicality few dozens of steps higher.This is a perfectly produced and played full lenght album,too bad it`s the only one they did.The band is no more existing,and two members of the band,Damiano and Max are today members of the exciting rocking Metal band Fuel From Hell.Enjoy this great album.

TANKARD - ALCOHOLIC METAL , DEMO 1985

LUDILO (BiH) - Idi bez traga , various recordings 1989-1990

This one is a cult Bosnian band that was active the last years of the 80s,and disappeared with the beginning of the war in Bosnia.No trace of them remained after the war,but I found this recording (actually,these recordings,various stuff somebody squeezed in a tape with the name Idi Bez Traga).The title more or less describes what happened to the band (Leave without a trace).
I have to warn you that all recordings here are of very low quality (56kbps),and are here just to document the work of that band that enjoyed a huge underground success.

01.Daj seko daj
02.Egoista
03.Egoista (live Novi Sad 1990)
04.Escape
05.Hard Core

BLOCKADE RUNNER (Cro) - The other way round , demo 1995

Well,for now,this is the last recording I have by those Thrash Metal veterans from Pula.This one is their third demo recorded and released in 1995.The quality of the production is very professional,and last year Tomo told me that they are working on a comeback..I hope they succeed in that!!

Tracks;
01.Time for rebellion
02.Rage of black tears
03.Entire despair (live)
04.The other way round

BLOCKADE RUNNER - THE OTHER WAY ROUND , DEMO 1995

DRINKING SKULL (Cro) - Evil or divine , cd 1997

Ehm..as you already read here,you know that the guys from DS were/are my good friends (at least the motor of it, H/K and Maras),and DS were one of the leading Thrash Metal bands in Croatia..
This is an album that splits their fans..A lot of Gothic influences in here made DS turn almost away from the style they played before.But it just seems like that..
The album have a lot (and I will add-too much) Gothic influences,pianos and stuff..But I will call it creativity..Just listen to tracks as War Skeletons and Endless Madness ( both with even Grind parts!!) or Rejected Man,and that is where the true DS lies..
Two interesting things about this album:
-the female backing vocals are sung by Vesna Pezo (not checked,but it is obvious that we are talking about the todays turbofolk singer)
-the last track (Rejected Man) contains a bit of silence after the track,and then the hidden Rap Metal track Rough Times,featuring the (bad English talking) rapper(s) M2S.

Tracks:
01.Keeper of the lost souls
02.The seventh seal
03.Another smile at my face
04.Doors of time
05.Walls
06.War skeletons
07.March of gods
08.The sentinel
09.Endless madness
10.The battle rages on
11.Rejected man (+ hidden track Rough Times )

DRINKING SKULL - EVIL OR DIVINE , CD 1997

MAY RESULT (Ser) - Ignoramus et ignorabimus , demo 1996

May Result were already in this blog with one of their albums..well,this is their first work,their first demo.A very powerful and loud recording balancing between Death and Black Metal.However,an extreme work done very very well.
PS:I am not sure what is exactly,but on the Encyclopaedia Metallum results that all the members and more are playing in The Stone as well...(??)

Tracks:
01.Dogma
02.Auto da fe
03.Asylum ignorantie
04.Hellwarrior

MAY RESULT - IGNORAMUS ET IGNORABIMUS , DEMO 1996

FRONTALNI UDAR (Cro) - Dobio si sto si dobio , cd 1998

You have already realised that Pula,except of the Metal scene,have always had a very rich Punk scene.Frontalni Udar are a great Punk Rock band playing almost 2 decades,and here is their first full lenght album from 1998.When you compare their two albums (the second soon here!),on the second one they turned a bit to HC Punk,but this one is pure Punk Rock.

SIX PACK (Ser) - Discover , cd 2008

On request,here is the last album of the legendary Serbian melodic Punk HC band.This time,it is an album of covers,all well known tracks,and,after my disco compilation,this is a nice way to come back through disco again.Well,the covered songs are not pure disco,rather some danceable flicks from the 80s..Anyway,a very funny record,and it comes very well before several gigs which will be held by the band in Croatia during this summer.

PHANTASMAGORIA (Cro) - Promo tape 199x

Phantasmagoria are one of the bands which can be called "demo band for life"..They never released a proper album or something alike,but are long-lasting and constant.Goth-Metal featured here,this is a promo-tape with various studio and live recordings (and a bunch of covers) I got while I had my Scream Radio-Show back in the second half of the 90s.If you like a darkened metal,you`re gonna like this one.

PHANTASMAGORIA - PROMO TAPE 199x

SARCOMMAN (Ser) - Demo 2008

Excellent demo recording,Sarcomman are already featured here,but this is their brandnew 2008 demo recording,done very professionally.Serbian Melodic Death Metal at its best,brought to you by my contributor Darko.This is really worth.
PS:I received a note from the band saying that the music is more archaic than I described.So let me be more precise;the word "melodic" means that there are a lot of very good sounding and melodic parts,but the Death Metal featured here is of the stronger type,not the quasi-Death proposed by a lot of bands today.This one have BALLS:

Tracks:
01.Almost dead inside
02.Levitate in suffering
03.Humandefect
04.Deadcarwed
05.Addicted to all
06.Manemy
07.Politicide
08.New age degeneration

SARCOMMAN - DEMO 2008

KUD IDIJOTI (Cro) - Necu da radim za dolare , ep-cassette 1989

I am very proud that I can present you this cassette,a very specific release.The story about this tape is; when KUD Idijoti left their label Slovenija (after the first three ep`s) the guy that runned the label had conserved some leftovers,and some recordings done for the first full lenght LP,and released this tape by his own,first without the bands knowledge,and then without the bands permission.The stuff on this tape are two songs from their first full lenght with a totally different production sound,and with some senseless instumental or remix dub additional versions.
Sale Veruda,leader of KI tried to stop the distribution and left a statement for all the media that this is not an official release,just stuff to take money from the fans,but the anyway small number of tapes released disappeared very quickly,so it became a collectors item.The first song has some minor disturbances,but the rest is ok.Enjoy this rarity!

This video is an interesting vid,a DJ that played another remix of this song of KUD Idijoti..

Tracks:
01.Necu da radim za dolare
02.Smrt
03.Necu da radim za dolare (instrumental mix)
04.Necu da radim za dolare (metal-dub extended remix)
05.Smrt (instrumental mix)

KUD IDIJOTI - NECU DA RADIM ZA DOLARE , EP-CASSETTE 1989

VEXED (Ita) - Demon eyes , demo cassette 1993

I got this tape directly from the band during the Carcass concert in Italy,and even it is nothing spectacular,it is still a nice old school Thrash Metal stuff.As far as I know,the band left no other trace at all,so for the collectors of Italian metal,this is very interesting stuff.

Tracks:
01.Demon eyes
02.Palco
03.Maliseti impazzita
04.Cielo assassino

ATOMSKO SKLONISTE (Cro) - Bez kaputa , single 1980

I just found an ad on the Croatian net,this single in VG condition costs 150 kunas (20 Euros approx).This is the second AS single I put here,and here finishes the official YU/Cro part of the AS discography (there are two albums recorded in USA as Atomic Shelter).AS were truly a great Hard Rock band,and I am proud I was able to give to you everything I had.Of course,the two US albums will be here too,soon..

Tracks:
01.Bez kaputa
02.Tko ce tad na zgaristu reci

ATOMSKO SKLONISTE - BEZ KAPUTA , SINGLE 1980

THE STONE (Ser) - Zakon velesa , cd 2004

The Stone are already featured in this blog, they are one of the leading Black Metal names in Serbia. This is their third album, and I must admit, even if I don`t listen to BM that much, this band sounds awesome. I hope they sound the same on their live-shows, it is extreme, but still with dark melodies. Very good.

Tracks:
01.Prividjenja
02.Nocas nikog nema pred dverima Nava
03.Svarozi krug
04.Zakon velesa
05.Mater slava
06.1168. (Sivi oblak stao nad Arkonom)

THE STONE - ZAKON VELESA , CD 2004

KABIR BEDI (Cro) - Gizdav brk , cd 2000

This is something for the ones who like something totally and completely different.This band was from Djakovo,a beautiful city from Slavonia (a part of Croatia),and in the band there was involved one of my dearest friends,a multiinstumentalist and very talented author Ranko Sajfar (you met him already in this blog,with his one man band project Statik).Well this was his band back in 2000 when he lived in Djakovo (he live in Pula now).This is a strange mixture of everything circling around Jazz Rock,and I added in the tag the word ARTY,because all their shows were performances followed by their music,and their music was also used for some small theatre plays.I am sure this will be very appreciated by fans of ie. Tom Waits or similiar stuff.
Very interesting.

Tracks:
01.Gizdav brk
02.Kameni svatovi
03.God`s finger
04.Krava
05.Where my dreams is gone
06.Pamučne oči
07.Ti si tu
08.B.D. (53)
09.Slavonija
10.I forget your name
11.Ninina nocna mora
12.Josko
13.Vlado i Klara
14.Baccara
15.Awake in the bed

KABIR BEDI - GIZDAV BRK , CD 2000

ASTRAHAN (Cro) - Revolution , cd 2004

This is a band from the city I live in.They don`t exist anymore,but they were a really good band,especially live.I saw them few time,really powerful live performance.I got this cd from their guitarist Sinisa,few years ago,and now relistening to it,it is such a shame that they split.I call it NuMetal,even it might not be,but I am not into micro-tagging,so it is a modern kind of metal,similiar to early Korn.As far as I know,this is their only work.
PS:Very nice cover of Sepultura`s "Roots"

Tracks:
01.Revolution
02.Hate victim
03.My pride
04.Love and hate
05.Fuck the system
06.S.O.S.
07.War language
08.Roots (Sepultura cover)
