The Heavy Metal Mania - The German HR/HM guide

[Prowler]

Thanx guys, I've updated all articles.

@Ze
Where did you see that Dark Sky was a White Metal band? I've seen their Demo reviewed in the bigger Mags but not a single mention of them being a christian band at all.

[rumblefist]

I don't recall well but if i'm not wrong i investigated a couple of members some years back and you can't go wrong.

It looks they were active in 1998 and they recorded a private CD titled as "Believe it"

pretty suspicious????? !!!

As far as i remember you don't use Youtube

More stuff to crack your brain - at least, i don't have any informations on the following. Not even a setlist
METAL MANIACS - "Angel In Hell" rehearsal demo of 1983. 7 tracks.

RAILWAY - Demo 1981 - 7 tracks

And i discovered among my crap another Living Death demo...

band HYDRA .

HYDRA the first band of Michael Voss .He wrote song "Stranger" with band HYDRA and when latter joined MAD MAX he used it on "Rollin Thunder" LP. "Rockszene Rheine" contains this song( Different version) .

[Prowler]

Thank you, I'll add Hydra today.

An update for the band New Projekt, I got their single yesterday. It's definitely no Hard Rock or Metal at all. Not even AOR. It's simple Pop/Rock, though there is a Hard Rock solo on the B side track. But more or less I feel reminded of Modern Talking or such bands. Pretty ugly crap ... avoid!^^

Тhanks for the clarification about the New Projekt - Love Dreams / Rainy Day – 7’’ – 1989.
I have a lot of fun with this ever-growing German Metal scene guide.
Thank you Prowler!

Very good Speed-Metal in the german style.

[rumblefist]

There's also these dudes

ACACIA

https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Acacia/3540476971

bit sloppy on their approach to the older Blind Guardian style

3rd division - me thinks

[rumblefist]

Just saw this now

you're also missing
THUNDERBOLT

https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Th ... 3540334641

and in metal archives it fails this one (obscure) - https://www.discogs.com/Thunderbolt-Dem ... e/16723299

[rumblefist]

POWERAGE (the band out of Furth)

you missed their 1988 Demo - "God Save Rock 'n' Roll "

https://www.discogs.com/pt_BR/Powerage- ... e/16718067

[Morton]

Some corrections of Samain.

Fred Bertram and Manfred Bayer are the same person.
Manfred Bayer is his real name.

The band was from Hohenlimburg/Iserlohn, not Hagen.
Their practice room was in Hohenlimburg but the most members were from Iserlohn.

[Prowler]

Thanx!
As for Powerage, when I wrote the article, that Demo was not added on Discogs and neither the band mentions it on their website.

[rumblefist]

this DICE is traditional hard-rock/metal despite it looks like Glam.
It isn't

https://www.discogs.com/Dice-Kids-Wanna ... se/8529173

the 1st song starts a bit commercial but evolutes to a kind od late Trance thing
best song is the 2nd. Looks That Kill
the last is a typical Scorpions rip-off ballad

[Cyrcka]

Torrent from Dortmund. Released a 6 track demo in 1985.
