Sounds doubtful, seeing as the demo with the same title wasn't released 'til '87. First I've heard of this boot.
EDIT: Sorry, it was '86. I remembered Don Kaye reviewing it favourably for Kerrap! in '87, which was what threw me.

1.2) Does unreleased Hellhammer material exist that was recorded in their bunkers and never ever given out by the bandmembers? Martin Ain told Frank "Necros II" so in 1985, but today, "nothing does exist" until you present the "Demon Entrails" instrumental rehearsal...

2.) When will Sadistic Intent - "The Second Coming Of Darkness" be released ???? Or Paradigma - Beconings Of Lost Light CD ????

3) Does this shit exist ????
------------------------------
Amen Corner (BRA) - Jachol Ve Tehila LP (or CD-only?)
Anesthesy (BEL) - Let The Mayhem Begin CD (ever released??)
Black Task (US) - s/t 7" 1985 (ever released on 7" or demo-only ??)
Crucifier (US) - Powerless Against 7" 1994 (ever released on vinyl ??)
Devastacion (ARG) - Decadencia CD (or MC-only?)
Forlorn - Slay And Burn MCD (ever released??)
Infamy (US) - Count The Dead MCD (or MC-only??)
Infamy (US) - Rape Grind And Pillage CD (ever released??)
Massakre (CHI) - Massacre LP 1989 (ever released??)
Necropsia (VENE) - Vicios Y Abortos LP 1993 (ever released?)
Omnitron (SWE) - Somewhere Sometime, ... 7" 1994 (ever released?)
Open Fire (POL) - Lwy Ognia LP (or MC-only?)
Sparagmos (POL) - Error CD (or MC-only)
Hey, that's 16 mysteries, not 3. No cheating!

..but I'm pretty sure OMNITRON-Somewhere Sometime.. was never released on vinyl, only as a CD single. You know it's awful rap-"metal" don't you?

OPEN FIRE's "Lwy Ognia" I've only seen referred to as an unreleased album. It cannot possibly have come out on LP. Tape, maybe..
Another mystery concerning the Open Fire-recording : check the artwork, and compare it to Alabama Thunderpussy's "Open Fire"-album. Asked the Alabama-guys themselves about this, but they didn't want to talk about it...

3.If there are any Nigromantia live recordings (or other demos/rehearsals) in circulation?
Nigro Mantia never played one single live show.
They made 1 recording besides the Poetry of Subculture demo. It was 3 instrumental tracks, and this is the only recordings that excist besides the Poetry demo.
As far as I know, only one bandmember holds on to this recording today. Not in "circulation" for sure.

there are only 100 pressed from SANCTUM - Believers Cd. Seems to be less than 100, because there's no way to find it anywhere :(

my big mysteries:

greffwe (swe) - do they really exist? the only mention i've seen of them outside of their metal-archives entry and one entry in some guy's tape trading list was a bit of discussion in the swedish death metal book where the author couldn't confirm their existance. i know i've mentioned them on here before, i believe dan suggested they might have been a joke band based on their name being an incorrect spelling of the swedish word for "grave". said tape trading list is here:

http://www.angelfire.com/pa/tothedeath/demos.html

tried to contact the author a couple times but received no response - likelyhood of it being a current page as its on angelfire is next to nothing

martricide (nor) - another band i've been trying to confirm their existance based off of their inclusion on a tape trading list. possibly grind/hc?

hornet cunt (tur) - possibly band name is "horned cunt", either way, i've been looking for their demo "condemned in cunt" for over ten years now. this is all i know about them:

http://turkmetalbands.com/site/index.ph ... &Itemid=13

as you can see, the song titles on this demo make it a "must own". all of my dealings with turks have produced no information

satanic slaughter (swe) - 1988 demo - does this exist? i've heard about it from multiple places, but never actually been able to verify its existance

se asia scene: maybe nto really a mystery aside from a "top want", but i've been trying to track down all the bands from singapore and malysia in the late 80s/early 90s, as most of those play just the kind of filthy music i really like. there was a really in depth scene report on the singapore bands that was linked from the corroseum's main site of which i've been able to track down around half. link is now dead but still available from the internet archive

Sovdat has a copy and I used to have one as well, except that I later confirmed that the front insert in mine was not an original so I sold it.

It looked off, so a comparison was made.
