KRAKEN (Col)
Kraken rules!! From the first four albums the first and third are amazing! Others are great too! But one question: how are their first singles? I mean soundwise. Are they much different from the album versions?

agreed with the description here,much rawer plus i think the vocals have more high pitching screams here and there, better versions indeed...Dirty Rocker wrote:I had both Escudo Y Espada 7'' and Todo Hombre Es Una Historia 7''s once in the time, traded them away years ago though. The sound was different from the album versions. Rawer and BETTER if I remember right. Long time ago I heard them both.

They followed a more melodic/commercial direction after the 1st album which didn't do much for me, but the first 2 7"s and the debut are certainly killer ballsy heavy metal. A track like Todo Hombre Es Una Historia is written only once in every ten years...

Kraken (col)
I got both Kraken 7"s from '86-'87 and it seems they were Radio Promos only or very few reached fans.The music sounds better than the lp to my ears.Great stuff.
Off subject: you should check out Arkangel from Venezuela and also Gillman Levante Y Pelea.Really good Metal.

Levantate y Pelea is one of the greatest southamerican Heavy Metal albums in my opinion. Also RESISTENCIA - HECHO EN VENEZUELA.Buried By Time and Dust wrote:I got both Kraken 7"s from '86-'87 and it seems they were Radio Promos only or very few reached fans.The music sounds better than the lp to my ears.Great stuff.

About KRAKEN, I've just listened their first album, great Heavy Metal, but never listened the next ones (II, III and IV).
You should check out also METALMORFOSIS from Bolivia, they just released a 7" in 1985 and a unreleased demo. A CD with both (7" and Demo) has been released some months ago, you should really check it out!!!

Where is this CD sold? Thanks in advance for the tip!Chafe wrote:You should check out also METALMORFOSIS from Bolivia, they just released a 7" in 1985 and a unreleased demo. A CD with both (7" and Demo) has been released some months ago, you should really check it out!!!
On topic, KRAKEN is an excellent band, at least when it comes to the albums I own (the first four ones) and the first and third albums are the better for me, being the heaviest, but the second and the fourth are great melodic Metal, not that gay in the end. I can compare the second one to Larmes de Héros from SORTILEGE, not musically, but in the spirit -maybe less the arrogance of Zouille -.
I didn't heard the singles, but with what's written here about them, I have to buy them when possible.

You can order the CD with the bassist of METALMORFOSIS, their contact is only their MySpace: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fu ... =441706198Mr Nuke wrote:Chafe wrote:Where is this CD sold? Thanks in advance for the tip!

DaN ripped those singles (which now is in you possession ) and I would love a upload of those, if possible?Buried By Time and Dust wrote:I got both Kraken 7"s from '86-'87 and it seems they were Radio Promos only or very few reached fans.The music sounds better than the lp to my ears.Great stuff.
