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.

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
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCd0fRgeaOw

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...

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!^^

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.

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.

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
