ITALIAN STALLIONS (Collection of rare Italian demos 1984-1990)

[malegys]

Here's a collection i've put together called "ITALIAN STALLIONS" that contains a nice batch of Obscure Italian Heavy metal demo tapes that span the 1984-1990 Epoch. The bands included are : ASTAROTH (2 tapes), AXTON, DISTORTED VIOLENCE, HYAENA, MOB RULES, OUTRAGE (2 tapes), ROYAL AIR FORCE & SKULL. All tapes have been completely restored & mastered (by Mahler Haze @ DRANG NACH NORD studio, Belgium in July 2019) + include cover & tape scans. Most of the material here came out sounding excellent, but a couple of tapes have suffered from deterioration over the years & have impacted the original sound (drop-outs, tape his, unbalanced channels) considerably. I've done my best trying to fix those gremlins & succeeded in making those particular tapes sounding very acceptable, albeit not perfect. The recordings were all rendered/mastered in WAV format & then transferred to 320kbps MP3's for this download. The total size of the file is about 575MB. Here's the download link (RAR file)

Below you find seperate links to each tape which i have also uploaded to Youtube. But remember, the download files sound MUCH better than the Youtube playback, as YOUTUBE plays back files at 128kbps, even though i uploaded them in WAV format.

As always malegys thank you for your dilligent restoration work & generosity in sharing 'the precious' with us. It's very much appreciated.
I'm unfamiliar with most of the tapes you've included so am looking to discovering some new sounds that have thus far eluded me, and also very much looking forward to having a better sounding version of the '84 Astaroth demo to replace the iffy make-do rip i've had for years.
