BOLJI ZIVOT 4 , HC/Punk Fanzine , Novi Sad (Ser) 1989

In the new sequel of the "fanzines" serie, here is a HC/Punk one from Serbia (at the time the happily-ever-after Yugoslavia).This fanzine is completely in Serbian language, and contains a lot of interviews, to name a few ; Hard-Ons, Hellbastard, RKL, Desecration, then some concert reviews (as Lethal Aggression/Youth Of Today , SNFU, NoMeansNo), various columns and city-reports and as usual the last 5-6 pages of demo-vinyl-fanzine reviews. One of the neatest fanzines from the ex-Yu, again and unfortunately for the rest-of-the-world visitors, completely in Serbian language.
Your choice.
PS:On the file wrong year of release.Who cares.

HELLHAMMER (Swi) - Demon`s entrails , dcd 2008

One of my favourite bands with which I begun listening to extreme music.And their mini-LP is one of the first extreme records (not counting Venom and Discharge) I have ever bought.Tom Warrior rejects everything Hellhammer did, telling it is shit.I was very sorry to hear this, because HH brought a new standard in darkness, Venom were Christmas kids-Metal compared to this.Not for the speed,but for the heaviness and the blackness of it all.
This collection came out with the "return" of Celtic Frost ("it is shit,but let`s make some more money on it" kind of thinking) and just a minute before Tom Warrior left the band again (interesting: he told he is leaving CF..but people,Tom Warrior IS Celtic Frost!!).It is released as double CD and triple vinyl and it contains all three demos (without the mini-lp and the stuff from the Death Metal compilation!) with much improved sound, really uncomparable with the natural sound of the original demos.
Needless to say,A MUST.

MINOR THREAT (U.S.A.) - Live at Buff Hall 20.11.1982 , EP 1988

I am glad I am putting this ep here, I have this vinyl from 1988, and it is still one of my collection`s favourite.A semi-bootleg ep from one of the all time favourite HC band ever.Very loud and exciting recording of part of a gig from 1982, the "production" is not of the best, but clear enough to make you satisfied.This is an ep you WANT to have.

AND (I CAN`T BELIEVE MY OWN EYES!!!!) HERE IS (almost) THE COMPLETE GIG TAKEN!!!! (It is written 1983, but I believe, at least from the audio, that it is the gig featured on the EP!!) LOOK AT THE CHAOS!! WHAT A GIG!!

Tracks:
01.12XU
02.Small man big mouth
03.Filler
04.Out of step
05.It follows me
06.Little friend
07.I don`t wanna hear it

MINOR THREAT - LIVE AT BUFF HALL 20.11.1982. , EP 1988

A SHORT NOTE..

On this place, yesterday I put the Metallica Master Of Puppets demo, and overnight it was removed from the blog and from Mediafire as well.

I am not making money out of that, I am just making a musical heaven (as the name says), a place where you can listen to good music and feel fine, find some rare stuff and help bands in getting promoted and heard with no profit at all.It is just my love for music.I know that Metallica don`t need my help, they are big enough and rich enough that they even have an army of guys controlling every inch of the internet...
Anyway, I am not a fan of Metallica since Master Of Puppets, so I can easily live on without them..
And so will you, at least at Audio Heaven.

SEPAL (Cro) - Anonymous , demo 2002

Saw them this summer at the Grind Your Mind festival in Varazdin, and even it is not the Metal I prefer, this band is an excellent live act.This is their first demo from 2002, and even then they showed that we can count on them.Interesting modern Metal.

Tracks:
01.Desert angel
02.Hide
03.Time
04.Anonymous

SEPAL - ANONYMOUS , DEMO 2002

STRIBOG (Cro) - ..za vjecan ponos i cast , demo 2006

Now some interesting material from this relatively young band from Zagreb.I am not into this kind of music, it sounds very interesting and it is a kind of Pagan/Black/Folk Metal, whatever that may mean.All I can say is that it is played very well and produced very well and it would be a pity not to offer it to you and give the guys a wider airplay.So enjoy this one if you like the mentioned style.

Tracks:
01.Kupala
02.Panonia
03.Ognjeni jarost
04.Krunidba Slavena
05.Kristalna kula Moranina

STRIBOG - ..ZA VJECAN PONOS I CAST , CD 2006

GORI USSI WINNETOU (Cro) - V zivljenju kot v filmu , cd 1996

Another nice album from the Istrian Rock guru Franci Blaskovic, actually it`s a compilation of songs from the first 4-5 albums composed by Franci, but with lyrics (or shall I say poetry?) from one of the biggest Istrian journalists, radio-presenter (and director of Radio Pula), Budimir Zizovic-Zizo.So if you have the mentioned albums, you can add this one if you collect all releases from GUW.A very very nice album.

Tracks:
01.Anastazija
02.Triumphus
03.Che bel
04.Franci + Zizo
05.Briskula
06.Ero(t)ica slovenska

GORI USSI WINNETOU - V ZIVLJENJU KOT V FILMU , CD 1996

KAIN (Cro) - In touch with reality , cassette 1994

Here is the second release of one of the three bands that were the top of the Croatian Metal scene in the first part of the 90s, but also the first of those three who fell apart.Kain were an excellent live band, I had the opportunity to know them in private, all great guys, and there are some rumors that they are active again after more than a decade, but for the moment, those are only rumors.
You already had some Kain stuff on this blog, so this is their last (official) release.For all who love a Megadeth/Testament kind of Thrash Metal, definitely a must.And thanx our Australian contributor for this!!!

Tracks:
01.In touch with reality
02.My words of hate
03.Land of dreams
04.Who am I
05.Time for change
06.The underworld
07.Pride

KAIN - IN TOUCH WITH REALITY , CASSETTE 1994

CARNIVORE (U.S.A.) - Live The Grand , NYC , 199x

Hmmm..I am a little suspicious about the date of this one..at least, the date I found for this recording..I am not quite sure that Carnivore played it in 1994, as they split somewhere in 1991-92.I changed the year here in the title, even on the file is written 1994, so you just ignore the date and enjoy some Carnivore live as it was back in the time of the second "true" Carnivore (Steele-Piovanetti-Beateaux) .The recording is not extremely good, it is an audience recording, but as such very fine.For collectors and fans.
PS:Just tell me:look at the vid - did he needed this?

Tracks:
01.Intro
02.Jack Daniels and pizza
03.Angry neurotic catholics
04.Carnivore
05.Inner conflict
06.Male supremacy

08.God is dead
09.Race war
10.Jimmy Page`s amazing solo
11.Predator
12.Sex and violence
13.Suck my dick

CARNIVORE - LIVE THE GRAND , NYC , 199x

ANNABEL LEE (Cro) - Demogeddon , demo 1991

Now,this is an ancient request I had from somebody here, a Croatian band that was active in the beginning of the 90s, they were pretty obscure, and all that remained from them is this compilation of demo tracks recorded between 1989 and 1991.Their music is a kind of dark Alternative Rock with Metal influences.The band stopped playing by the end of 1991 when their vocalist Gvido was killed in a war action in Slavonia (occupied part of Croatia).

Tracks:
01.Zena u umu
02.Bez milosti
03.Paklena vjetrenjaca
04.Annabel Lee
05.Freddy Krueger

ANNABEL LEE - DEMOGEDDON , DEMO 1991

BAS CELIK (Ser) - Gundjaju ti za sitnice , lp 1983

I don`t know much about this Hard Rock band from Serbia,but they are from the period when Hard Rock in Serbia gave a lot of more or less popular/successful Hard Rock bands.BC are one of the less popular,at least for me.The Hard Rock they play is very similiar to the Griva or Generacija 5 or even Kerber kind.A collectors item anyway!It is totally a help from my contributor Roihlem!Thanx,Ro!

Tracks:
01.Upomoc
02.Pogresna veza
03.Nezna i neizbezna
04.Budi hrabra

08.Okreni se i bezi
09.Za prvi put

MISFITS OF SKA (U.S.A.) - compilation cd 1997

This is a very nice compilation I liked back in 1997 (and still like, of course),Punk HC Ska bands playing a fast and sometimes violent kind of Ska with fascinating skills and very interesting arrangements.There was also the sequel to this compilation, but I preferred this volume, so here it is.And don`t skank that much, man..

BETHOR (Ser) - The return of darkness and evil (tribute to Bathory),cd 2007

Very,VERY good tribute album by this Serbian band.Bathory classics re-played by this seemingly one-man-band, an excellent production and excellent performance.There`s not much to say about this album, except that I am sure that you`re gonna like it a lot (if you liked Bathory,of course).

BETHOR - THE RETURN OF DARKNESS AND EVIL (TRIBUTE TO BATHORY), CD 2007

DISCHARGE (U.K.) - Realities of war , ep 1980

Let`s start with the Discharge singles/ep`s serie, this one is the first ep of three they released in one year.In my opinion,Discharge is a band that burned so fast that they became from Punk Rockers through Thrashing Hardcore to almost Glam Metal (at least the look) in only six years.We know and love them most from the Why/HNSNSN/Never Again phase, but let`s go from the start (I will post the first demo soon), from the first ep, where they were pure Punk.

Tracks:
01.Realities of war
02.They declare it
03.But after the gig
04.Society`s victim

DISCHARGE - REALITIES OF WAR , EP 1980

BY ALL MEANS (Ita) - By all means , demo 1992

Now,here is a band I really liked,I had the opportunity to meet and see them live at the Histeria Party in Pula in 1993.I got two EP`s from them,but let`s start off with their 1992 demo,an excellent collection of SXE Hardcore,very strong,loud and in-your-face.I don`t know what happened to them in the years after,but I think they are still active..Enjoy this hard hitter!

Tracks:
01.Intro+Il silenzio degli innocenti
02.Sulla tua pelle
03.Cosi` solo
04.Sto cercando qualcosa
05.Tradito
06.By all means
07.Eroe
08.L` incubo della realta`
09.Un nuovo mondo
10.Volo
11.True till death (Chain Of Strenght cover)

BY ALL MEANS - BY ALL MEANS , DEMO 1992

ATOMIC SHELTER (Cro/U.S.A.) - This spaceship , lp 1987

For all those who collected the Atomsko Skloniste discography,this is the album that fills it to the end.I passed all their Yugoslavian,Croatian and American releases,this is the second American release,this time only Bruno Langer and Dragan Guzvan remained of the Croatian part of the band.While Bruno and Dragan were in Florida prepairing the album,the original vocalist Sergio Blazic died in a hospital in Pula.This is an album that definitively closed the work of the original Atomsko Skloniste.Again,no new songs,just re-arrangements of old stuff.
Thank you,Atomsko Skloniste.

Tracks:
01.Space generation
02.Believe me
03.Night after night
04.Learned how to listen
05.1945-1995

07.Flying
08.Together
09.Nothing left to show
10.This spaceship

ATOMIC SHELTER - THIS SPACESHIP , LP 1987

EXILED (Ser/U.S.A.) - Blood sea , cd 2007

Can you imagine a more Metal cover as this one?You probably can,but let me explain you why I told that.I want you to understand how METAL this cd is.What we have here is a band that plays great Heavy Metal,and they do it very well!This band is from Arizona,and has a member that lives a period in Serbia and the other in the US.As I was told,he does all the music for this band,and that means he is a great talent.Well,enjoy this recording,and you surely will if you like uncompromising Metal.Oh,yeah,and let`s not forget:Darko is the contributor!Thanx!

DIES IRAE (Cro) - Live on Mayday , 1998

Unfortunately,no pics of this band.We already had the chance to hear from them on this blog,now this is one of two official live recordings from this Heavy Metal band from Slavonski Brod,formerly known as Sauron.The quality is very good,soundboard recording here and a truly Heavy Metal setlist.The band ended their path in 1999.

Tracks:
01.Intro
02.Eye in the sky
03.The truth unknown
04.Meaning of life
05.Solid as a wall
06.Comes a day

DIES IRAE - LIVE ON MAYDAY , 1998

ZABRANJENO PUSENJE (BiH) - Das ist Walter , lp 1984

..and this is the second excellent album from 1984,the album from one of the strongest band of the 80s coming from the beautiful city of Sarajevo.ZP (translated it is No Smoking) when the war started,they escaped in Croatia and Serbia,and the band splitted in two equally ultrabad sequels,the Serbian ZP (with the vocalist and the symbol of the first band,Nele Karajlic) and the Croatian ZP (with the guitarist and soul of the first band,Sejo Sexton).I could talk for hours about the ZP of the 80s,but instead,I give you this great and strange album,less Poppy than Bajaga`s and more to the ground and more instrumentalistically sophisticated.After the Punk outburst of Anarhija All Over Bascarsija,the band touches almost every corner of New Wave and rock music.One sad thing is that the title of the album (as well as the intro) are taken from a TV serie called "Valter defends Sarajevo" in which Sarajevo was shown as a symbol of never giving up..
after all that happened to the city and its citizens,I am very happy that the city is breathing again with full lungs.I love you,Sarajevo.

Tracks:
01.Intro/Das ist Walter
02.Anarhija all over Bascarsija
03.Abid
04.Put u srediste rudnika Kreka Banovici
05.Selena,vrati se
06.Necu da budem svabo u dotiranom filmu
07.Seki is on the road again
08.Kino Prvi Maj
09.Pamtim to kao da je bilo danas
10.Zenica blues
11.Cejeni odlaze

ZABRANJENO PUSENJE - DAS IST WALTER , LP 1984

BAJAGA (Ser) - Pozitivna geografija , lp 1984

These days I gave an ear to two albums from the good old Yugoslavian Rock scene,and accidentally both were from 1984,a very good year for the ex-Yu Rock discography.This one is the first album from Momcilo Bajagic-Bajaga,at the time still the guitarist of Riblja Corba.Everyone expected some Hard Rock album like the RC`s,but Bajaga made a collection of funny easy-listening Poppy New-Wave songs.It is a collection of songs that Bajaga first offered to RC,but the leader Bora Djordjevic refused them all,and that was also one of the reasons Bajaga left RC soon after.A nice album,bringing me some nice memories,and almost a must for all of you collectors of Yu-Rock records.

Tracks:
01.Berlin
02.Mali slonovi
03.Poljubi me
04.Limene trube
05.Znam coveka
06.Tekila gerila
07.Marlena
08.Kosooka
09.Tamara
10.Pustite me druze
11.Papaline
