UNSCARED „Hell is Now”
Unscared present a 22 minute and 10 second demo-recording of typical underground death/thrash metal. Basically, a simplistic mastering process hampers their music.
SHOCK OF THE SYSTEM „Taste the Fist, Smell the Fear – Demo”
It's all an melodic old-school thrash inferno and every now and then more modern influences such as Machine Head shine through. The vocals are a lot like early Metallica, but a little sleazier.
SKON „Nic Realnego – Demo”
I don't know if I spelled those correctly or not because I only speak English. but I do know one thing: This CD Rocks!!! I'm tiring to start a band of my own and this is the sound we were trying for.
SPLITDAWN „Promo”
Splitdawn is another bad from Greece that plays thrash metal with Metallica influences. They do not strictly belong to thrash metal because they do have some heavy parts but in general they are a thrash band.
SUMHATE „s/t – Demo”
This is a band that is from the Chicago area and has been around since the merger of two bands in 93. The name has not always been the same but the band has settled with the current name and are running with it and running they are.The band consists of five members who are VOX-Randy Guzman Guitare-Chris Tabor Guitare-Jim Felicetti Bass- John Sterba Drums- Jim Malone.
THUNDER REIGNS „Evil One (1 track single promo)”
What can I say? Sometimes people should stick to the concept: less is more! It's too much lead crap with a sleazy style on top of the otherwise not bad Iron Maiden-like music. The lead guitarist seems to have a huge ego.
RELAYPSE „Demo”
First of all: they are young and Italian… doesn't say much, does it? Well, their demo sounds like a highly professional recording and the production is pretty close to the first Godsmack-album. What first stuck me was the great sound quality.
PROJECT MOTIVATION „Demo”
This demo has a really professional sound and the production is raw and heavy with that underground touch. I really enjoyed it but it wasn't entirely my favorite stuff cos it's heavy all the way.
GODDAMNED, THE „s/t – Demo”
It's not stoner in the same way as Kyuss but these Swedish guys kick out quite a jam. The music is 70s influenced but there is a little touch of metal and hardcore in their sound, guess it's the Cathedral-sounding production.
GORY BLISTER „Art Bleeds – Promo”
What I have here is a simple three-song promo from a death metal outfit Gory Blister from Italy. The three songs, Anticlimax, Art Bleeds and Comet, come from Gory Blister's Art Bleeds CD which was actually released in 1999.
