Hi Rumblefist, why are your interested in these 3 specific, I only know the names, that it existed, furthermore nothing is known to me for these. Well except Mean Machine 2 vids because its on Youtube. Did you read about it somewhere, maybe an agressive style, or specifics? Take a look at this list,...

Oh yeah forgot to do that earlier. You know: Sword, Black Flame, Exciter, Spoiler, Metal Powers, Final Heiress,Highway , good stuff! These might interest you: T-Bone is cool hardrock from the southern part of the Netherlands. Some great guitar work on both sides, and I like the nasty vocals of Jan P...

Heavy Load - Death or Glory, trying to decide what I think is the best track on this classic.
Always come back to 'little lies', perhaps the silliest track.. guitar is so heavy, right tone, that one slays!!

I read this thread again.. stories must never be forgotten

Could not find Belgium metal topic, but these 2 are worth too read. And some old photos.

The mighty dutch heavy metal band; Random, sees its first physical release after 35 years of obscurity. I have not heard it myself yet, this contains the 1989 and 1991 demo, not the great Demo tracks 1985 and 1987 , I myself know, Knocking/Stars//The Tyrant/Steal The night !! https://www.nodustrecor...

Dutch (connected) stuff:

pagan altar - walking in the dark.
amazing track, was this really recorded in 76, love it.

Ah thanks, that must be it.

Thanks Dan, I read the interview.
The bandmembers names from the interview are all different names then the ones listed on metalarchives.
The band from the interview is from Den Bosch, the one I know is from Breda.
Ofcourse Tyrant is popular name.. but its odd.

Does anybody know this compilation (The Metal Dreams compilation), does it exist?

quote:
"The track 'Hellhounds' from their demo featured on the bootleg The Metal Dreams compilation."

Listened to it on youtube, cool stuff!, factored with the origin makes this an awesome and obscure find.

Ive got a major weak spot for dutch 80s heavy metal stuff, these 7" are nice collectors, ive aquired them over the years, I think it cost me 10 years. Two found at local shops, and the rest via trade or mailorder. But I think if you really set your mind to it, all are on discogs. I like the coo...

Nice story, nice finds, how cool is that.
Thats why I always keep checking the stores every so and so, keep flipping through nazareth & msg you never know

Was just listening to some french LPs. Put the Ocean 1981 record on (blue cover). Wow I undervalued this for years, was collecting old dust.. It has awesome guitar solo's, this really looks like a record which is average on the first look, but a great french hardrocker! https://www.youtube.com/watch...
