ROSA NERA (Cro) - Anthology 88-94 , cd 2000

This band is a band that changed name (Zablja Perspektiva,Excalibur,Ivana,Crna Ruza..) and line-up through years,but was more or less always based about three guys,all of them legends in the Pula`s Hard/Heavy scene.I had the permission by Tone (lead guitar,last on your right) for this post.This is a compilation of their works done under this name.The first half of the cd is more classic Hard/Heavy sang in Croatian,while the second part is more modern,sang in english.Enjoy this piece of Pula`s history!
PS;this post is dedicated to all the previous members of the band,and to Roihlem from Germany!

01.Ruza s istoka

CAPITOL PUNISHMENT (U.S.A.) - Capitol punishment , ep 1983

This is a single I accidentally bumped in back in the 80s,and a one I liked.I read that this band released later 5 albums,but I never found anything else from them.I remember even that one of my projects covered the first track from this EP!Three sharp short HC tracks on the first side of the single,and a looong track on the second side.For the HC collectors.

Tracks;
01.Two party system
02.Wrong direction
03.Killer cop
04.Jody is my bloody love

Ok,subsequently I received some info on this band.The band was the Sauron`s singer new band after leaving Sauron in 1990.Fairly and perfectly produced and played melodic Heavy Metal,as on their only album,already posted here.An interesting track is the Croatian sang version of Deep Purple`s BURN (here with their own lyrics,entitled Svi U Raj).Again,a piece for the collectors.Enjoy.

SAURON - Crossfire , demo 199x

CARCASS (UK) - St.George`s Hall , Bradford , 15.11.1989.

Hehe..I found it entitled as a single..maybe it is a kinda bootleg,but what I know for sure is that those two tracks are featured in the Distorted Harmony compilation with other Death Metal acts..anyway,a very good soundboard recording of the early Carcass (I saw them for the first time in my life 8 months after this recording is taken,it was mindblowing)..enjoy these two songs,excellent material for those who love the Symphonies Of Sickness era...
PS;the video here is took in Nottingham a day before the recording featured in this post!

Tracks;
01.Embryonic necropsy and devourment
02.Swarming vulgar mass of infected virulency

HELLER (Ser) - live demo 1989

Well,I don`t know what to say..their recordings are so called "rare" and this is the fourth post of Heller I posted here..Now this time we have a live demo..another recording took in who-knows-which circumstances,but this time is a more or less good sounding one.I know many of you like Heller,so here we go again..

Tracks;
01.Innocent girl
02.Armageddon
03.Dead or alive
04.Impossible (Metal is power)

UNHOLY INQUISITION (Cro) - Depraved god`s creation , cd 2004

Unholy Inquisition are one of the strongest Croatian Death Metal acts,and they showed it with this cd.They are one of the many bands from Rijeka mentioned in the Gorthaur`s Wrath post,and of course,there is one man behind all that,a guy under a nick Insanus (mostly drummer).This is their third creation,a cd where they move their Black Metal style towards a more Death Metal orientation.Enjoy this one,you extremity lovers.

Tracks;
01.Deadly embrace
02.Den of murder
03.Soul pulverized
04.Agony
05.Faithless angel
06.Twisted reality
07.The Judas chair

UNHOLY INQUISITION - DEPRAVED GOD`S CREATION , CD 2004

GENERACIJA 5 (Ser) - Generacija 5 , lp 1980

Here we go back to the very beginning of the 80s and the explosion of Hard Rock and Metal bands in the ex-Yugoslavia.Generacija 5 were a very good Hard Rock band from Serbia,leaded by Sladjana Milosevic`s younger brother Goran.The recording of this (their debut) album is very good,and their melodic Hard Rock sounds cool.They never became popular as A.Skloniste or R.Corba or D.Jagode were,but still left a strong trace in the story of Rock in the ex-Yu.

Tracks;
01.Dolazim za 5 minuta
02.A ti
03.Pseto
04.Rodjen na asfaltu
05.Ti i ja
06.Nedelja
07.Veza
08.Probudi se iz sna

GENERACIJA 5 - GENERACIJA 5 , LP 1980

IN A SPLEEN (Slo) - Nativity , demo 1994

I found this demo in a drawer,so I told myself Maybe somebody searches for this one..man,it is not my cup of tea..some Doom Metal,but for my opinion,played (or produced?) very weak,miles away from the strenght of ie.Ashes You Leave.But,anyway,for the ones collecting Metal bands from the ex-Yugoslavia territory,this one is something you must have.

Tracks;
01.In the sun
02.She (Nude female figure)
03.Nativity

IN A SPLEEN - Nativity , demo 1994

VASELINE CHILDREN (Cro) - promo 2006

I am new at this one,so I don`t have much to say.A SXE band from Zagreb,they exist 2 years now,and had few releases and a lot of gigs around.The stuff you have here is something I found on the net,entitled Promo 2006..now,whatever it is,it sounds veeery good.Meanwhile enjoy this very short three-tracker,more to come from them,for sure.

Tracks;
01.Wrong time,wrong place
02.Take over
03.Nothing to give

VASELINE CHILDREN - PROMO 2006

MELLAKKA (Fin) - demo 08.03.1986

You know I love finnish mid 80s HC in an extreme way,I even had a band with total influence by them..well,Mellakka were a band who were among the bands that "know to play".I know it sounds ridicolous,but yeah,they knew to play.And they did it very well!These are three tracks of Thrashing HC,in a-let`s say-Mob 47 way (but not that fast).Anyway,a nice piece of work.This demo can be found on their 1984-1986 compilation cd.

Tracks;
01.Totuus 2
02.Anti-kaikki
03.Turhaa taistelua

MELLAKKA - DEMO 08.03.1986.

GORTHAUR`S WRATH (Cro) - Unleash hell , cd 2001

At that time it was nearly impossible to follow who`s where in the Rijeka Metal-scene,especially in the Black Metal part of it.GW are in a way the follow-up to Castrum,but in a very darker way.
The band has certain progressions in creating new songs,so for the lovers of true powerful BM,this is it!

Tracks;
01.Resurrection of damnation
02.End of time
03.Trascendental arcane journey
04.Believe the devil
05.The return
06.Undead formula
07.Oath of the dragon order
08.Divine darkness icon
09.In the name of hell
10.Dissector (remix)

GORTHAUR`S WRATH - UNLEASH HELL , CD 2001

POPEYE (Cro) - live Vodnjan , August 2003

...and as support to this previous post,here is an excellent soundboard rare recording of Popeye in action,this is a recording I got from my brother Chriss,who at the time played the percussions in the band (on the pic on your extreme left).No one knows the exact anything about this tape,so take the year of recording as more or less,as it could possibly be 2002,or even 2004.But August is surely,and I am quite sure it is Vodnjan too.I miss just one song title,which I might change through time,as soon as I receive the exact title from somebody from the band.
Anyway,a perfect recording of a very,very good band.Here they are more Metal than on the studio recordings,soooo....
PS;the video is from Varazdin 09th July 2004,taken by me with a digital camera,but a low resolution..

Tracks;
01.Intro speech
02.Vrijedjam
03.track 3
04.speech
05.Glasajte za mene
