There is no such area to click...

It's just below the box with the file URL.

Thank you, hahaha...

It's so small...

I guess I'm just blind.

Now I feel like an idiot...

Imagine the feeling when I first bought that 7''. It was totally unknwon back then but I thought the cover art looked so cool so it justified a purchase by chance. When I put it on that maelstrom or mighty riffage and pounding drums fell upon me and for some 20 seconds I thought "shit, I might just have unearthed the coolest EP ever" and then ...

I totally sympathize with you. It must be the only song in the history of metal that swings from greatness to absolute lameness every 20 seconds.

Still, I couldn't really get disappointed because it was so unexpected and hilarious. I find it very amusing.

Achilleusis so bad it isn't even funny. But amazing sleeve, it should be swiped and put on a good single.
Diavox is not too bad. Nothing amazing but I can at least listen through it all the way.
Marcus Brutus Band aside is decent, goes to show you how much there is to listen to out there...

Yeah, Marcus Brutus Band is the best one there for sure!

Now, a request from Stark.

Double Diamond - Internal Heat/Back to Paradise 7'' 1986, private
Lohengrin - En ny Vision/Opiumrökarens Sista Cig 7'' 1980, kap records

Just got these 2 swedish singles today. Double Diamond is melodic stuff, I like the B-side.
Lohengrin is cool for sure, swedish lyrics on the B side which is a killer song in my opinion. Like the slow A-side too. (Same label as Jeremiah 7'')

Never uploaded from this site before, hope it works.

Thanks!!!!

No problem! Tell me what you think.

I can't stop playing the Lohengrin 7''s B side. It grows on me every time I am listening to it. Killerrrr.

Great for sure! I think Double Diamond B-side were cool too

Just got hold of the guitar player from the band Tonvikt. This was the same band that became Gerry & The Pacemakers (or rather they were backing up singer Gerry). They later reformed and did a demo under the name Trippel, more metal.

As expected DD was absolutely awful. The LOHENGRIN b-side was ok progg/hr, no more no less. I'm hoping turn this downward trend asap though

The Lohengrin B side is amazing DaN, you little dweed! Gypsy though..

Several times read article 707 Inches Of Swedish Steel but do not find mentioned Blizzard - Illusions EP 1987 .Also this EP not mentioned on MISSING nor REJECTS section.Anyone ? There's just one BLIZZARD from Sweden on Metal-Archives with minimum info.

There was a Swedish BLIZZARD who released a 3-song 12" called "Fading Away" in 1987. It's probably the one they're referring to in the link above since it also included a song called "Illusions". It's rather standard/mediocre, melodic Metal/HR. Not worth an upload imo.

And it's not included in the article since "707.." is reserved for 7" singles only.
