SERBIAN METAL LIVE - BARUTANA , BELGRADE 30.03.2002

Now, this is an interesting post I found on my colleague`s Aktivista`s beautiful blog "Zvuci Jugoslavije".

This was a Metal gig held at the Barutana hall in Belgrade in 2002., including three Serbian Metal bands.The recording is an audience one, but still good enough.There are no song titles, sorry..

Abonos plays some Gothic-Metal, personally not my kind of Metal, especially with female voice..but a fairly played set.Alogia plays some Power-Epic-Metal and does it very very good.And there is also Kraljevski Apartman (the follow up to the already posted Apartman 69) with their Hard Rock/Metal..so,this should be a very nice piece for the collectors.

SERBIAN METAL LIVE - BARUTANA , BELGRADE 30.03.2002

AMEN (Cro) - The eyes of truth are always watching you , cd 2005

Ok, let`s go on with some Croatian Thrash..My mighty contributor Mika from Hope gave me this stuff and a lot more, and everything will be posted within some time.First of all, here is a good old band from Pozega, Amen.They played the bigger part of the 90s and then disappeared, but a member Miroslav continued composing and playing hard, so he continued recording demos with the help of a rhythm program, and so here is the first recording he did in 2005.This one is a full album of old school Thrash Metal with mostly Christian lyrics (which fits me very well!). Enjoy this one, and stay tuned for the next demos!!

Tracks:
01.False belief
02.Buried alive
03.Faith
04.Fallen world
05.(Don`t be) Condemned for eternity
06.Dead dream
07.Face the God
08.Jesus
09.L.S.D.
10.Monument of blood

AMEN - THE EYES OF TRUTH ARE ALWAYS WATCHING YOU , CD 2005

QUICKSAND (Cro) - Tales from the Balcans , cd 2002

Sinisa Vuco f++king rules!!I mean, you would kill to have a guy like this in your country..Sinisa Vuco is the spiritus-movens of Quick Sand, the english version of his band Zivo Blato (go back on this blog for their first album) , and surely a very provocative person and artist.Guitarist and vocalist (and probably author of everything you hear on this album), he is actually the guy who played in one of the first Croatia`s Thrash Metal bands Evil Blood in the 80s,and then continues his carreer as an extremely successful turbo-folk singer (????) but always returning to his Metal roots.This record is a Metal version of what he do usually.Just listen to "Love and drinking" (his biggest hit originally called "Volim Piti i Ljubiti"), absofuckinglutely hilarious.Of course, don`t get it too serious..

PS:Here are few videos to describe him better:

from a late-night tv show NIGHTMARE STAGE (in croatian, sorry) when a viewer provoked him on the telephone..this is anthologic!!!

as a folk singer:

and live on stage with Zivo Blato:

Tracks:
01.Help me America
02.Endless number
03.Woman
04.Tale from the Balcans
05.Love and drinking
06.Merry Christmass
07.Exploding sky

QUICKSAND - TALES FROM THE BALCANS , CD 2002

PRIMUS (U.S.A.) - Live on KZSU 1989

Primus were one of the most exciting Funk-Metal (if it is possible to call this way the music they play) of the 90s, being a band with immense musicianship and incredible skills, and this of course goes especially for the probably one of the best bassists on the world, Les Claypool.This one is their performance on a campus radio station in Stanford University, Stanford CA.Needless to say, sublime performance of the early Primus here, just in the year of their first album "Suck on this".And although this is a low 64kbps rip, it is a very good sounding recording.So enjoy.
PS: Videos from exactly THAT performance!

Tracks:
01.To defy the laws of tradition
02.John the fisherman (with yyz intro)
03.Groundhog day
04.Too many puppies
05.Tommy the cat
06.Frizzle fry
07.The heckler
08.Sgt. Baker
09.Harold of the rocks

SORELLA MALDESTRA (Ita) - Cadavere , demo cassette 1979

Let`s go to some Punk Rock made in Italy.This demo comes from 1979, and it is given to me by one of my contributors from Pula, Vladimir.A nice Punk Rock demo tape, clearly showing the year in which it is created.For old school Punk fans!
PS:The video is from a recent show held in 2007 in Bologna.

Tracks:
01.Noia
02.Io sono un Fric
03.Cadavere
04.Non c`e via di mezzo
05.Dammi tutto quello che hai
06.Perche non mi caghi
07.Pronto
08.Me ne frego
09.Tutto
10.Scelta
11.Vengo
12.Io sono un Fric (cut up)

DEATH SPEAKS - Slovenian fanzine 1985

Yeah, good ole times.. I remember having this fanzine, and actually being very happy seeing that Thrash and Speed Metal is spreading like a disease..This one is one of the first Thrash zines in the ex-Yugoslavia, written by the mid80s enthusiast Bostjan Jurecic.Here you can find interviews with At War, Tankard, Kreator, Iron Angel and Hirax, something about the first Thrash bands in Yugoslavia , Odpadki Civilizacije and III Kategorija (even though I think they were completely Hardcore Thrash, but far from being Metal) and some more stuff.Very interesting revisiting the spirit of the 80s..

DEATH SPEAKS - SLOVENIAN FANZINE 1985

SCORPIONS (Ger) - as The Hunters , single 1975

Now, that is a surprise! At least for me, I found on the net this ultrarare single of the Scorpions, for this occasion under the name of THE HUNTERS, playing two THE SWEET covers, Fox On The Run and Action, sang in German!! This is an absolute golden piece of music, and a good chance to announce a best of of a great band, THE SWEET.But until that, enjoy the good ole Scorps!!

Tracks:
01.Fuchs geh voran (Fox on the run)
02.Wenn es richtig losgeht (Action)

SCORPIONS - as THE HUNTERS , SINGLE 1975

SPEED KILLS..AGAIN , compilation cd 2007

Now, this compilation is what Metal needed for a loooong time.You already know my passion for old-school Thrash Metal..well, this compilation brings you to that point.An excellent choice of bands for celebrating the definitive return of the greatest kind of Metal ever.I won`t slice this compilation into pieces, I am just inviting you to take this one and to bang your head like crazy..like me.
PS;And again, thanx to Pero for introducing me to this one!

Well, we passed throught the complete AS discography, and now, thanx to my found-again friend Pero, here˙s a bootleg of the probably last concert of a Croatian band in Serbia, before the war divided those two countries.Of course, it is not the complete show, as AS were headlining the traditional Zajecar demo-bands festival that summer of 1991.The complete show is available on DVD.And here is an excerpt from it..

Some more stuff from this Black Metal band from Rijeka.This is a live recording from 2002, the band is getting together again after few years of doing nothing, there are already new recordings out, and what makes me happy above all is that the drummer in the band is an old friend of mine, Andrea (formerly in Cenotaph).As for the quality of this recording..it is pretty raw, just as a BM band needs..

WEHRMACHT (U.S.A.) - Live Portland 1986

I got a great reason for this post; these MFers are together again!! The band that invented Speedcore, a bunch of hypertalented musicians, and one of the most exciting Metal band ever will feed our needs again.While we are waiting their Euro-tour in 2009, here is a nice-not that good, but still nice-live recording from 1986.
Can`t wait for them,man..

KVALITETNI DISKO BAND SHUMA (Cro) - Mario , demo 2008

Somebody could tell those guys are joking with this one but..well, they did it again.Punks from Pula are joking again, disco samples and drunk vocals are here.Of course, for all those who understands Croatian language, this should be very funny, but for all you others, check this one just to understand the insanity of those guys.I didn`t had the cover for this, and this cover is found for me by the mighty Schebo.Thanx Metalium.
So, have a laugh or two..

DEAD IDEAS (Ser) - Promo tape 1992

Dead Ideas were a very succesful band (in the underground sphere, of course) and the cassette "Rejection" I already posted is among the most downloaded stuff from this blog, so I am quite sure you`re gonna like this one too.A kind of metallic-thrashy-hardcore mixture, very nice.

01.Illusion
02.Goodbye my life
03.Do I get too little
04.Crisis and fears
05.War games

DISCHARGE (U.K.) - Fight back , ep 1980

First of all, sorry for the big pause of the last very busy week.I am not stopping this thing, and I am not running out of material, but there were really some things going on, and I was really pretty far from having time to post some stuff.I will try to catch up and post more stuff the next few days.Let`s go on..

Here is the second EP from Discharge, this one got some slightly better playing and almost the same production as ROW (the first EP).So, enjoy..

Tracks:
01.Fight back
02.War`s no fairytale
03.Always restrictions
04.You take part in creating this system
05.Religion instigates

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.

Tracks:

DISC 1:
01.Intro
02.Messiah
03.The third of the storms (evoked damnation)
04.Buried and forgotten
05.Maniac (re-recorded version)
06.Eurynomos
07.Triumph of death (re-recorded version)
08.Revelations of doom
09.Reaper (re-recorded version)
10.Satanic rites
11.Crucifixion (re-recorded version)
12.Outro

DISC 2:
01.Crucifixion
02.Maniac
03.(Execution) When hell`s near
04.Decapitator
05.Bloody insanity
06.Power of Satan
07.Reaper
08.Death fiend
09.Triumph of death
10.Metallic storm
11.Ready for slaughter
12.Dark warriors
13.Hammerhead
14.Angel of destruction
15.Bloody pussies
16.Chainsaw
17.Sweet torment

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
