ALISTER (Ser) - Where angels bleed , EP 2006

And there goes another excellent Serbian band served to us by Zlatko.Thrash metal with an excellent recording (altough I think that the programmed drum should be replaced and re-recorded with a live drummer).But except for that, the material you got here is really great in every aspect.Serbian Metal (obviously) rules.

Tracks:
01.We are damned (Welcome to hell)
02.Cold winter night
03.Parted
04.Inner evil

ALISTER - WHERE ANGELS BLEED , EP 2006

DARKTHRONE (Nor) - Cromlech , demo 1989

Let`s go back to some bands you know better..this one is the fourth Darkthrone demo, coming from their Death Metal phase.An interesting recording, not of the highest quality, but surely a great document.And great stuff if we take the year of recording, 1989.

Tracks:
01.The watchtower
02.Accumulation of generalization
03.Sempiternal sepulchrality
04.Iconoclasm sweeps Cappadocia

DARKTHRONE - CROMLECH , DEMO 1989

ANGEL OF FIRE (Cro) - Demo 2008

Now something unusual, a very young band, and by saying that, I mean it.As you can see in the pic, they are all kids, and the smallest of them in front is not their mascotte, but it is the drummer, which at the time of the recording was only 8 years old.The material here is not that bad, actually it is very melodic.A kind of dark metal with vocal in the Sisters Of Mercy style.All in all, something you can at least try, if you are sceptic for their ages.

Tracks:
01.Stoneflower
02.Angel of fire

ANGEL OF FIRE - DEMO 2008

SPACE EATER (Ser) - Bombs away , demo 2006

And here is a little treat again from our friend from Serbia, this is the first demo of one of the best bands from Serbia.The band passed through a tragedy this year (I won`t repeat it again, as respect to the band) and all I can say is that I really hope they will stand on their feet again and come out of this twice stronger. Bosko R.I.P.

Tracks:
01.Bombs away
02.Merciful angel
03.Space eater

SPACE EATER - BOMBS AWAY , DEMO 2006

FLU (Cro) - Poruka iz svemira , cd 2009

This is a band from Pula, whose CD was given to me personally by the lead vocalist Debac, a living legend of the Rock scene from Pula (Zablja Perspektiva, Rosa Nera, DETMA, Manekeni...) , singing from the beginning of the 80s and still not giving up.And there is no reason to give up anyway.This is a very strong CD with music that can be comparable to the best Alice In Chains works, and with slightly Tool and Soundgarden influences.
The recording is highly professional, so I think that, if you like the mentioned bands, then there is absolutely no reason to miss this one!Hvala Debac!

Tracks:
01.Odvedi me
02.Planeta
03.Delfina
04.Magija
05.Poruka
06.Budilica
07.Jalamander (instrumental)
08.Osmica
09.Poznati lik
10.Shine (bonus track)

FLU - PORUKA IZ SVEMIRA , CD 2009

NADIMAC (Ser) - Metal je rat, ep 2008

Nadimac is already featured here, and this is their EP from 2008, a kind of predecessor to their new album, soon to be released by the Chinese old-school label Area Death Production.They call themselves "the Serbian Kreator" but I would rather call them just Nadimac, because they are far from Kreator in the Metal style, and they sound fresher anyway.So, let`s wait for their album!

Tracks:
01.Metal je rat
02.Zlo i naopako
03.Hrani babu da te ujede
04.Iks iks iks
05.Usro si motku

NADIMAC - METAL JE RAT , EP 2008

BARSKE MUSICE (Ser) - Delirijum tremens, cassette 1993

Now, another Serbian band I got from Vladimir, I cannot define what is this band into, the fact I found on the net is that this is (or might be) an alter ego band of OSLOBODIOCI, a band I presented few posts ago. Also, I found out that this album is not released in 1995 (as written on the file) but in 1993.The music they play is a kind of Rock that I can`t put anywhere, even if it is so simple.I can compare them to, let`s say, Psihomodo Pop.. Well, you try..

Tracks:
01.Mickey Rourke
02.Hot dog
03.Crno mleko
04.Veliki crveni kadilak
05.Vise nema razloga za nas
06.E, pa sto
07.Draga, idi do vraga
08.Secerlema
09.Decko
10.Pokidan
11.Bedara
12.Zelena limuzina

BARSKE MUSICE - DELIRIJUM TREMENS, CASSETTE 1993

TERRORIZER (U.S.A.) - Rehearsal demo 1987

Another Terrorizer tape found, this is a raw but very listeneable rehearsal from the best period of the band, another reminder of one of the best Death Metal guitarists, Jesse Pintado. R.I.P. Jesse, and R.I.P. Terrorizer.

Tracks:
01.Ripped to shreds
02.Corporation pull-in
03.After world obliteration
04.Human prey
05.Strategic warheads
06.Fallout
07.Infestation

TERRORIZER - REHEARSAL DEMO 1987

ENJOY SARMA (Ser) - Reborn power , cd 2000

Let`s continue with the Serbian Metal stuff I got from Zlatko, this is the first ES album dated 2000, a nice effort, even if it is noticeable the progression on the 2nd album, both instrumentally and in the production. But, if you have and liked the first album, you will definitely get this one to complete the discography.

Tracks:
01.Reborn power
02.I`m my god
03.Game of desire
04.Collection of lies
05.Alive
06.Brainless
07.Strong enough
08.The edge

ENJOY SARMA - REBORN POWER , CD 2000

OSLOBODIOCI (Ser) - Poker sa djavoljim repom, cassette 1994

Here`s a digitalized cassette only release I got from Vladimir.This is a Serbian Punk Rock band, I would like to say rather a kid of stronger Rock very close to Punk.The rip is excellent, so for the Punk Rock fans around the world is another nice discovery.

Tracks:
01.P-rn-grafija
02.La putita
03.Sta se ispod maske krije
04.Na nicijoj zemlji
05.Sutra u Cikago leti, dole

15.Vlada`s tongue in aspic (bonus track)

OSLOBODIOCI - POKER SA DJAVOLJIM REPOM , CASSETTE 1994

DARK ANGEL (U.S.A.) - Gonna burn, demo 1983

One of the US finest, and also oldest and purest Thrash Band, and a great flashback to the beginnings of Thrash Metal.This is their first demo, the sound quality is a little low, but still listeneable.Enjoy good old school Thrash!

Tracks:
01.Into the inferno
02.When the axe falls
03.Gonna burn
04.Metal head
05.Hammer away
06.Road warrior

DARK ANGEL - GONNA BURN , DEMO 1983

PASMATERS (Cro) - Demo 1986

Another great tape coming up here is the first demo of the oldest bands in Pula, Pasmaters.The band actively exists since 1985, and is still going strong.This is obviously a rehearsal demo with a very raw sound, but it is surely an important part of the Punk HC history of the "punkest" city in the Balkans!

Tracks:
01.Escape
02.Kriza
03.Minuta mrznje
04.Kapo
05.Meta
06.Buducnost
07.Odmazda
08.Dezerter

PASMATERS - DEMO 1986

STRIBORG (Australia) + XASTHUR (U.S.A.) - Split EP 2007

Now, it`s time for something I am completely out of, but it is an interesting and totally evil-sounding EP. Both "bands" are actually one-man-bands, and both into the same atmosphere.The stuff here sounds totally raw and evil, and I think it is enough words for something that BM fans will obviously get!

Tracks:
STRIBORG
01.The epitome of misanthropy
XASTHUR
02.A tortured shallow grave

STRIBORG + XASTHUR - SPLIT EP 2007

GUBITNICI (Cro) - Jako puno, demo 1988

Here is another "lost tape" from the Pula Rock scene history.Gubitnici were a band that didn`t lasted for a long time, they played few gigs and made a demo in a surprisingly short time, but then disappeared from the scene.This is a perfectly produced demo containing 5 melodic Garage/Punk tunes.No cover, picture, or video.

Tracks:
01.H.B.
02.Dzin
03.Jako puno
04.Ja lutam sam
05.Sebastijan

GUBITNICI - JAKO PUNO , DEMO 1988

ISTARSKI ROCK `86 - Istrian compilation cassette 1986

As you can read in the backcover, this cassette is released in only 200 copies, so it makes an ultrarare item.Luckily, the work around the movie about the underground music in PULA in the 70s and 80s saved somehow all these pearls from disappearance.
This is a compilation of Istrian rock bands released by the slovenian small label "Slovenija" from Koper, a small beautiful city at the top of the Istrian peninsula`s southwestern shores.Here are featured 4 band (of which I know only 2).The first one is CASTEL, I don`t know anything about them, they play some new romantic stuff, very nice.KUD IDIJOTI is a band you already know, and this stuff is taken from their 1986 demo you already know too.The next band is H.T.B. and I don`t know nothing about them, except the fact that their bassist later became a member of The Spoons from Pula.Nice rock.The last band SUMSKI PJEVACI GORTANOVE UVALE is probably the most interesting of those four bands, with an extremely interesting melodical palette and two milestone musicians of the scene of Pula, Goran Curic-Cotka and Sandro Perocevic (incidentally, engineers and producers of my band`s Hatross demo from 1992, and Cotka also of the one from 1996, and soon of the new Devastation material - this is a scoop!!).
All in all, a nice compilation for all those who wonders about some Istrian bands that were not that exposed at that time..

Tracks:
CASTEL (Pula)
01.Prva pjesma
02.Kroz centar
KUD IDIJOTI (Pula)
03.Tko zna
04.Darwill
05.Za tebe
06Daj, daj, daj
H.T.B. (Pazin)
07.C.D. `84
08.By, by, baby
SUMSKI PJEVACI GORTANOVE UVALE (Pula)
09.Sretan ti dan
10.Nad Sicilijom
11.Acqua+Many people

ROSSO SANGUE (Ita) - Rehearsal demo 2006

Now, there is a certain guy from Trieste, Italy, that contacted me through my youtube channel.He sent me this rehearsal demo of his band, telling me that Cenotaph/Necrosphere were not the only Death Metal bands coming out of Trieste, and that the DM scene in Trieste is still active, and I agree with that! Except for the audio recording, I actually don`t know nothing about this band, but I love the way they contacted me, so here it is.A very raw recording dated 2006!

PS:Wow, I found a video recording of the bands drummer! Yay!

VASELINE CHILDREN (Cro) - Never gonna shut up, demo EP 2007

Back to Croatia, here is a Zagreb-based SxE HC band that played for a bunch of years until 2008 when they split, and having real good stuff.You don`t have to support their life philosophy to admit the music they do is valid.I am not also into that scene, but I am glad Croatia has a great band representing the SxE scene.And I love the Black Flag cover a lot!!
PS:This text here is a corrected version of the first version I wrote, with valid facts sent to me by Gajo, a bands member.Thanx Gajo.

SCULPTOR (Ser) - The verdict , promo 2008

Let`s go with another great band from Serbia, a one that is heavily influenced by Death (the band, of course) and their most technical period, so after these words, you know you can`t go wrong.And if I add the fact that the sound production is perfect, you have a new bone to bite.

Tracks:
01.Intro (the final verdict)
02.The day after the verdict
03.Exile
04.Response
