"Northern Roll" demo (1995): https://www.discogs.com/release/2955755 ... thern-Roll

In need of samples.

S5
Genre: Thrash Metal/Grindcore
Location: The Netherlands

- "Weiger Dienst" demo cassette (1991): https://www.discogs.com/release/2624904 ... ger-Dienst

In need of samples.

Orion: Gist is that there is no VR from the band, just the live soundboards that were never sold.

Skate Drunks: From a zine, "just got this today so i've not had much time to listen to it, but i've played at least 3 times in the last hour coz i've fallen in love with it. The starter has a heavy deathly type fell to it, really cool. The rest are more thrashy type affairs. All are excellent memorable numbersl One of the best demos doing the rounds at the moment."

I've not added a band based on zines, but would this be enough an old tape like this?

BlueBlood: Can be removed. Demo was never released. Added additional info to the main band page.

Trendschock: Rock. Should be removed.

This response about their sound mentions that they were once compared to Cerebral Fix and "As far as influences we wanted to be hardcore—ish but it's not now, so i couldn't really speuk for the other lads, but i personally like Fields of the Neph, NAPLAM DEATH, OBITUARY".

Age Of Genocide: Seemingly private release. With such a low copy amount (8), it was sent to people "in the know". No VR I'd say.

Omikron: Just one single. No VR.

Mercy Killer: Band told me that the demo was never released officially. They still sent me the tracks, so that's cool.

Exitus
Genre: Death Metal
Location: possibly Czechia or Slovakia

Two compilation appearances totalling to 4 tracks, not sure if it could possibly be the Exitus from Czechia, but I doubt it: https://www.discogs.com/artist/3054851-Exitus-2

Not certain if a band with two compilation appearances like this is acceptable in this thread, if not I shall delete it.

Ujenyx: Submitted with band conversation.

Faded Sun: Definitely released an ep called 'Event Horizon'. 4 tracks are marked as such on reverb. On a closer listen, this music is very borderline. Worth a shot in the queue.

Mechanical Soul: Uploader said it was on CD-R and the vocalist said there are no copies left. Might submit based on this proof.

Purification: Uploader says it was officially released on tape back in the day.

Nehuen: Uploader says it was available on facebook to download.

Mercy Killer: Bit of a miscommunication I suppose? I inquired more and they said the demo was released but it did not get much publicity. I've noticed some bands say that their demos didn't get "official releases", meaning no big label deals or launches. I'll probably submit this band.

Psychic Abyss
Genre: Progressive Metal/Psychedelic Rock (supposedly)
Location: The Netherlands

- "The Ethanol In W-3": https://www.discogs.com/release/2148330 ... nol-In-W-3

In need of samples.

Faded Sun: Got confirmation of the CD. Will submit.

Stormbringer: Band confirmed the demo was released and limited to 50 copies.

Akocedakor: Got way more info here. Was on CD. The material was reissued on the 'Akocedakor' album. Probably enough to submit.

Raven Mad: Got a response back on facebook from a member. Only one song recorded. No VR.

Should not Mental Pain be removed from the list per my conversation with a bandmember?

Anal Azylum: Only active in 2009, and played two shows. I found a single live video and the uploader wasn't aware of any release either. Should probably be removed.

Pink & Black

Genre: Metalcore
Location: United States

More core than metal IMO.

Treatment: Never released until soundcloud. No VR.

Curse of the Ugly: I think this is the band?
https://soundcloud.com/curse-of-the-ugly

Inhouse: Liner notes say recorded and mastered in Florida. Fairly certain this is the same band and should be removed for being alt rock/folk.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/295620739474

Blind Drive: This band?
https://archive.org/details/iuma-blind_ ... thesis.mp3

Inner Self Lost: This band? The myspace mentions a CD. Sounds like decently acceptable metalcore, if a bit borderline.

Between Gates of Ivory: An uploader say they don't believe this band has a release. Should probably be removed.

Special Fredd: Sounds more funk inspired than metal from this track. Not much else.
https://youtu.be/fbEu9Brq1RM?si=cxqil2Qx3NTDxDGF

Hollow Image: I think this is the band. Definitely released a CD. Genre sounds more nu-metal/hardcore from this track. If someone thinks it's worth tracking down, feel free.

Hostile Takeover: This band I think. Some samples on youtube, but not the best fidelity. Sounds like it could be acceptable metalcore. Needs VR details.

Crossbreed: This band? if so, not metal.

In The Flesh: This band i believe. Black/Thrash metal. Needs better VR proof.

Hi!
A guy sent me the scan of an old Italian zine (1984):
https://wetransfer.com/downloads/7068ee ... 615/9d1f7f
I hope it can help someone here to find some band to add.

Uncle Sirus: Commentor says the band's only release was a single on a comp. No VR.
https://imgur.com/a/5J1xvMJ

Stormbringer: Going to submit based off the info the band gave me, that A. It (a demo) was definitely released, and B. a majority of the tracks were reused on later releases available to hear, which should cover samples.

Mictlantecutli: Misspelling of Mictlantecuhtli, already listed.

I have restored this one after Dudgeon contacted me with further evidence that it was indeed sold at gigs. Seems to be yet another case showcasing why we have to be careful with band members equating "not distributed at all" with "not released on a label".
