So I'll be going to Budapest in a couple of weeks and although I doubt there will be much time to hunt out obscure music it would be nice to know what to be on the lookout for if the opportunity arises.
I'm woefully ignorant when it comes to the country, except for the really big names - Pokolgep, Ossian, Tormentor. What stuff do you guys recommend, preferably not demos that are impossible to find but rather stuff that might surface in a good second hand store (by the way if anyone knows the location of such a store that information would be greatly appreciated, especially if it's close to some tourist attraction so I can "accidentaly" find it
).

OSSIAN,POKOLGEP,TORMENTOR apparently.
Then you must hunt ROTOR-Tepj Szet Minden Lancot maybe the best Hungarian LP
STRESS-Kisertet Kastely.
MISSIO-1 great melodic Metal that makes me always addictive when i hear it.
OMEN-Feketeben is a must especially if you love POKOLGEP since Kalapacs sings on it.
METAL LADY is good also although something quite rare.
In fact you should save some money.If i were you i would have spended elsewhere the biggest part of my money.
Budapest is the center for European porn so watch out for the Hungarian attractions

The KERN debut LP and ANY of their singles. Frankly, the KERN singles are somewhat of an unsung EastEuro Metal Treasure.

Don't know why the hell I just made them into Hungarians. Must be the beer + the fever
About MISSIO - the LP can be a bit of a letdown if you're not a die-hard Melodic Metal fan. Grab the Robbanasvezely compilation instead - it features their 2 best tracks, and in better versions no less. The first GARAZ-compilation is also a must for the MORRIS and CLASSICA tracks alone.

The 1rst MOBY DICK album "Ugass Kutya !" is one of the best Hungarian album imo.

I will probably be going to Budapest this atuutmn. I know there were a lot of good bands from Hungary, but is it easy to find record shops with Pokolgep, Ossian, Omen etc LP's in Budapest?

STRESS!!!! Classica is also great. I wonder if anyone knows about MORRIS. Did they release any demos or maybe even singles?! Their song on that hungarian metal comp (someone should upload this one!) is sooo great.

Pandoras Box - Kö Kövön looks better than it sounds. Still good Hard Rock / Trad. Metal
