And mine...since Coup De Metal and Attaque are among my 5 best 80's French Metal releases...perhaps even my fave band from France... :D

The singer has to be decided..... big issue here... I met Didier the other day and so far he's NOT into doing it -by the way check his son's band EXISTANCE, pretty good Hard Rock..... and H-BOMB without Didier would be...not H-BOMB.

Yes H-BOMB is extremely underrated in my opinion and also EXCESS-Melting Point.

VOODOO CHILD is the best french band together with BLASPHEME.

STEEL ANGEL and NIGHTMARE.Very good bands in my opinion but not top of french metal.

SLAUGHTER - Demo/12" reissued recently. After numerous listens it has secured a place in my personal TOP-10 of french steel.
Good against Evil, Evil sure to win

SLAUGHTER maybe has perfect production sound,great guitars,perfect high vocals,drums,name everything but their serious disadvantage is that from their only 3 tracks even if you hear them 10 times you don't remember even a chorus or a riff.

:D My memory is perfect i can assure you.

DER KAISER sounds very similarly like SLAUGHTER.

If someone likes DER KAISER will like also SLAUGHTER and vice versa.But i prefer DER KAISER.

I have a question for all the french metal specialist out there.

It concerns the legendary band HIGH POWER.

They recorded two playback videos at that time for FR3 , a well-know french channel.

Does someone have already seen those videos ?
When were they recorded exactly ?
Which songs were recorded ?

Do you think it's a waste of time to contact FR3 ?

It seems a real mystery to me.
