43)The MI.S.S. --- Wrong Place,Wrong Time(1995,Lucretia Records,cd only),street metal with some southern rock for this band founded in the middle of the 80's,this is their only album.

44)Miss Daisy --- Pizza Connection(1989, on GWR records)produced by Eddie"Fast"Clarke,this is the one and only album for this roman based band,great Street metal,the Lp is easy to find,instead the cd is very rare, a few dozens promotional copy were made in the U.S.A. for college radios and press only;Heart of Steel records announced the reissue on cd by the end of 2010.

45)Moon Of Steel --- Passions(1989,lp on Cult'n'Roses records)the first reissue was a german bootleg with a horrible and different cover(a dish full of spaghetti)titled"Spaghetti Metal"

;the official reissue was done in 1995 by Lucretia Records(no bonus tks),note that the Lp has a gatefold cover,this is(IMO)their best album,for whom who likes the old stuff of Fates Warning/Queensryche,then after the reunion in 1998 they became more prog metal oriented(one minicd in 1999 and a cd in 2002).

46)Morgana --- Three years of maddness(2005,on LM records/Andromeda Relix),including the four tks from the first self titled mini lp (1988,one of the rarest italian item);note that due to band's mistake the title of the cd is wrong(maddness instead of madness,as you can see on the cover artwork.

47)Necrodeath --- Into the Macabre(1987,Nightmare productions ,only on lp with gatefold cover)reissued in 1999 by Scarlet records+Fragments of Insanity(1989,lp only on Metal Master),reissued in 2001 by Scarlet records;in 1990 the band split up and rejoined in 1999 releasing several album from then on.

48)Nuclear Symphony --- Lost in Wonderland(1989,lp on Metal Master and cd on SPV/Steamhammer,this cd contains "Snoopies" as a bonus track),reissued in 2009 by Metal Master/Markuee;note that the reissue has not the bonus track so the tracklist is the same of the vinyl version.

49)Old Yron --- Same(1989,self produced)reissued on cd in 2009 by Shadow Kingdom Records with teo bonus tks.

50)Oxido --- Breaking Down The Walls(1990,Mercury records on lp and cd);the cd is very hard to find(400/500 euro or more

);I personally do not consider this band as if it were Italian(only guitar player Tancredi"Tank Palmer"Palamara was),the others were from Switzerland.

51)Pat Heaven --- Welcome to Heaven(1989,Docam records) --- reissued in 1999 on lp and cd by Andromeda Relix;only 120 hand numbered copies were made for the reissue on the lp(and 120 copies for cd),note that for the reissue of the vinyl version original covers they had in stock were used.

Marquee Records(ex Minotauro Records)besides has just announced the reissue on cds in the next months of "Detaching From Satan" and "Opera 4th".

The way this was worded is to assume Marquee Records used to be Minotauro Records.

Is Marquee re-issuing those as a license deal from Minotauro?

Nonseinormale65 · Post by **Nonseinormale65** » Wed Feb 03, 2010 11:38 am

Yes,it is exactly so,as a matter of fact the main man and owner of Markuee records(that is also a records store in Milano)is Marco Melzi who was also the owner of Minotauro Records in the 80's.

the EXCIDIUM discography will be out sometime this year. I am in touch with an italian guy who has just got the permission from the band and is waiting for the master tapes. As far as i know it should be a self-released cd or for a brand new label..

jnfernal · Post by **jnfernal** » Sun Feb 14, 2010 10:44 am

the correct track list of the Black Hole demo 1983 is:

Demo 1983 (or 1984??)
-in the darkness
-the long walk to hell
-midnight madman (different version than on the other demo)

then, they recorded these other songs between 1985 and 1986:
-ouverture
-angel of lucifer
-crying puppets
-eternal lycanthropy (1986)
-the end of all times (1986)
-ritualism of doom (1986)
-5 untitled outtakes from 1986

however, some of these songs are not metal, they are more gothic/progressive/ambient like the Living Mask tracks

The band recorded several demos since 1987 and one 7"(Infecting the graves)in 1992,do you know what kind of stuff will be reissued?

jnfernal · Post by **jnfernal** » Tue Feb 16, 2010 2:58 am
