Biest was the best band from the DDR that released anything on vinyl in the 80's. They put out a four track 7" in 1987. Great speed metal sung in German.

Chroming Rose “Pressure” LP found!
That's not really correct, they have been the heaviest but best are still the Merlin and Hardholz trax on the Speed Up compilation. Biest at live gigs had been a bit disastrous. On the 7" they used a drum computer btw (decision of the studio owner and producer). Also the aforementioned Formel 1 had been great live and on vinyl, though more NWOBHM clones. Their 7" is a little gem. Too bad that their album was live, though it has really great sound.mordred wrote:Biest was the best band from the DDR that released anything on vinyl in the 80's.

I know these but I like Biest more. Also, since this compilation was released 1990 you could argue it doesn't challenge my actual statement, that Biest was the best DDR band that relesed something on vinyl... in the 80's.Prowler wrote:Hardholz (epic Power Metal):

There were some bands mentioned in the "Walls of jericho" lyricsheet (thanks list) I've never heard of: BABY STEEL, LAWLESS and a third one I don't remember at the moment.
Any info on these groups? I think they must have come from the Hamburg area like HELLOWEEN, perhaps some "demo only" bands?

"Could" is correct. 2 days left, so let's see for how much this is being sold.LethylSteel wrote:Could be cheap for those who does not have a copy yet:

For those who don't have a copy yet.
Seller has also a cool Zish LP for sale. Don't think it will be too expensive as it's still rather unwanted ...
And here's an underrated german top 10 (or even top 5) Melodic Metal LP below 20 E for those who also think Wheelz of Steel is trash:
