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 )

Here is another TON bootleg,recorded on the same tour as the previous one,and-if I am not wrong-on the last show of the tour,in the Rockfabrik in Ludwigsburg,October 16th 1994.This one is not a soundboard recording,but still a very decent one,and a must for the TON fans,of course.I am tied to this one in a special way,because this recording was made approx.24 hours after I met Peter Steele in Munchen,which was my dream in those days..

01.Machine screw
02.Too late-Frozen
03.Gravity
04.Summer girl
05.Paranoid
06.Xero tolerance
07.Christian woman

10.Summer girl+Set me on fire (demo)

TYPE O NEGATIVE - SUICIDE IS SELF EXPRESSION , LIVE LUDWIGSBURG , cd 1994

TYPE O NEGATIVE (USA) - Even snow dies , live bootleg 1994

I loved TON,you cannot even imagine how I loved them..at this part of their carreer.I lost interest about them with October Rust,but until Bloody Kisses,they were more than an inspiration to me.Here is one of two bootlegs I have from the Bloody Kisses European tour they did in 1994.I saw them and met them in Munich,but this one is approx. a month earlier,in Stockholm,Sweden,at Gino`s.The sound is very good,a soundboard one,so you have a good reason to enjoy it.

Tracks;
01.Too late-Frozen
02.Gravity
03.Paranoid
04.Christian woman
05.Bloody kisses (death in the family)
06.Black no.1
07.Summer breeze+Set me on fire (demo,different lyrics)
