Speaking of WRATHBLADE,let me point out they're one of the greatest hopes of the whole epic metal scene!Titanomakhia 7'' rules!I'm looking forward to their new opus.By the way,do you consider the demo or the album by SARISSA to be better?I consider their mighty demo a must have for everyone!

I have a good copy of the 1st DANGER CROSS rehearsal. Killer old SODOM/SoAm deathblacking stuff. I should also have a good rip of the DEATH COURIER demo somewhere, but it's been ages since I ripped the tape, so it might take a while to locate. I think it had a live show on the b-side that also got computerized in the process..

I don't think a have enough courage to do that. I paid only 4 euros for the 7'' but believe me it was one of the worst buying choices of my entire life. Next band please!

I have Crush-Kingdom of the kings- and it is exellent.And another one is Black Fate but too much progressive for my taste.And by the way the strangest gems came from that Land too. :o

:shock: Never knew this one.Have you heard/do you own that LP Dan?I have seen tons of 80's Greek vynil releases labeled under rock/hard rock and countless 80's demos in metal magazines but have still no idea what they sound like since they are not mentioned by any site/nor a music reviewist.

If you are unfamiliar with the greek spelling here it is spelled
AXIOKRATIKA-Oriones apparently this band sings in Greek.

About the Leviathan band i presented you.I asked and they have a demo in 1989 most possiblly never released.This band played technical Crimson Glory style.

The last month i listened to BLACK FATE's demo-A Piece Of Dream from 1993(they have also a 1992 which i am looking for)
If you like Power Metal like SANCTUARY/SOLAR EAGLE/SALEM'S LAW without the vocal exaggeration you must absolutely hear them.This band is easely one of the very best ever came out in this genre.Amazing!

Bit of a false alarm there. Apparently the name of the band is ORIONES and juging by the mp3s on their home page we're talking melodic rock. The album above is from '92.

I got Death Courier's Necrorgasm on mp3... but i dont think its very clear, a good dub would be great!

i have Danger Cross's Recitation Of Death too, thanks to Astaroth last year :D
