I knew there was a generic Czech Metal thread somewhere...

Here's something cool I found when working on Ye Olde Metal World Map:

IRAS Live (just a streamed reunion show but still great!)

Apart from METANOON, SEXIT and TOXIC TRASH that was recently uploaded in Poisonoise, I've also added a review of the TARANTULA debut. The 2 first tracks is pretty much a must-hear:

These are all great reads, many thanks! Don't let us forget though that Toxic Trash were not a Czech band but. Many a Slovak metalhead might get really rozzúrený upon reading that. :)

You're right, I read that somewhere. I tend to use "Czech" as an abbreviation for Czechoslovakian, since I'm seldom referring to anything metallic from these countries from beyond the 1992-mark. Maybe not 100% correct terminology, but I've added a footnote about it...

My Toxic Trash album has the backcover fully dedicated (quite a long text, must have been for a close friend), anyone has the same on theirs? I wonder if they were mainly distributed to friends or if it ever had a proper release...

4 strong swords for that one - at least the A-side. Too bad it never happened as a proper release. This reminded me I need to share some really obscure Czech stuff here (and try out the new "hide text to guests"-function"!)...

While not 5-outta-5/Iras/Carbon/Trezor-level material there's still 1 really cool song on each 7". Did I mention they're also stupid rare?

Actually, I decided to include the complete 2011 CD with Autobus since it's BLOODY GREAT. Really, just listen to "Kung Pao" and be amazed. The original 7" recording is also featured as a bonus, as songs #10 and #11...

edit: Man I forgot how great that Alien A-side is! - had to bump the rating on the page to 4 swords!

Wohoo, the two 1991 single tracks from Autobus (one of the most stupid sounding bandnames for a german speaker EVER!!) are pure gold. The galopping guitars, the strong vocal lines, the beautiful double leads - I LOVE IT!!

Yeah, the A-side of the 7" is cool as hell, but there's at least 5 better songs on the CD :wink:

Thanks so much for this. Is there an actual cd version out there that features these tracks or is this from your own personal cd-r version?

Autobus exists as a proper CD release: https://www.discogs.com/release/6211502 ... t%C3%A1vej
Alien had a CD out in 1993, but it doesn't feature the 7" tracks.
Almara = no CD I'm sure.

Thanks for this, starting with Alien 7" I'm really enjoying this. The quest to hear everything never ends!
