Victim (Bel) Discography 1979-1984

Here's the discography by Belgian band VICTIM, compiling their 2 singles, the entire 1984 demo tape & one track from their 1983 demo/rehearsal tape. Their 7"s (from 1979 & 1980 respectively) sound VERY 70s if you know what i mean, sounding like an odd mix of UFO, THIN LIZZY & SPARKS (! Yes, that Sparks). Very catchy hard rock with some proggy piano/synth involvement, which works very well actually. The guitar leads are great & remind me alot of Tony Iommi's solos (He MUST'VE been an influence). The real metal starts with their 1984 demo tape, where proto - speed metal & that early 80s Euro metal flavour is in abundance. Again, a very commendable attempt & execution. The one track from the 1983 demo also present, basically sounds like what they were building up to for the 1984 tape (albeit in lesser audio quality & heaviness). I've had this bootleg cd-r for almost 20 years now & recently pulled it out for a listen & figured i could clean up the sound (the crackling of the 7"s, the unbalanced channels, the rather muffled sound of the demos etc) & give it a decent volume boost too, Enjoy this slice of Belgian Ür-metal from the Vaults.

Many thaks for the upload malegys. I've only previously heard the Lady Love/Squalliday Inn 45, (I certainly hear your Sparks comparison on Squalliday Inn), so i'm looking forward to getting better aquainted with their stuff. Cheers!

Awesome band cool to see someone here promoting them, much better than the US band imo.
