I love these three gems:

Infernal Death(El Paso)- Incantations of the Gates- sick black/thrash
Torture(El Paso)- Storm Alert - great thrash with some atmosphere
Necrovore(New Braunfels)- Divuus de Mortuus- early death with atmosphere

BTW, since BARON STEELE were mentioned, M-A mentions 4 unreleased tracks. Do they really exist? Has anyone heard them?

BYFIST for the good part...

VALKYRIE, MORBID TERMINATION, HELLPREACHER, SYRANAX etc for the generic part....

The unreleased tracks mentioned on M-A probably came from this interview from GRAY MATTER fanzine. They were most likely played live but never recorded.

I've heard a practice tape with no vocals that may have some of these songs.

Yeah, it seems that the band did have those four songs, maybe they can be found complete with vocals in some ultra rare rehearsal tape, who knows. Anyway, thanks for uploading the interview, it's cool to have something more than a 2-track demo from this great band.

Militia! Tony Smith probably hunts armadillos for breakfast, though looking guy.

I've got some killer live shows on video.
ahh! youtube perhaps???

Hey MEXDefenderOfSteel, I finally got around to uploading some of that Acridity live footage. Nothing groundbreaking, but not bad for a bunch of youngsters.

I think this was a weak effort compared with their Terror kingdom 12"

Baron Steele rules!! Awesome stuff!

haha, ACRIDITY. i caught those cats once, they opened for RIGOR MORTIS, members looked more like JEFFERSON AIRPLANE than the usual white high-tops/denim look, still rocked that night...

lotsa great picks! a couple not mentioned:

GAMMACIDE (rippin deathrash on WILD RAGS)
SEVERANCE - underrated DM from the mexican border
ANGKOR WAT - first lp is decent crossover, kinda reminds me of the ACCUSED (demo is lord!!)
WATCHTOWER - godly haphazard techy prog-metul, both disks rule! probably the only tech-metal act who jumped around like the BAD BRAINS onstage, instead of standing still, concentrating on their time-changes..
SCUM OF THE EARTH - awesome obscure hawd-koa from H-town
