The album is on Apple Music, but I don't know if it's considered a proper release.

Cöbbra: according to the band, this music never came out under the Cöbbra banner.

Darklight (9734) can be removed from the list. Uploaded to YouTube with picture of the J-card. Added to the 'to be submitted' thread.
Thanks.

Altera got rejected for not being metal. I didn’t include the full tape because I don’t have access to it. Is this worth keeping on the list in hopes that the full tape is metal than what’s sampled and available online?

From someone's personal collection of '80s and early '90s metal demos mostly from the New Jersey/Pennsylvania/Maryland (US) area (one from Germany), these ones aren't on the site - and pretty much all others from the pictured collection are, so there's a good chance these are also metal) -

The person who posted them (very recently) got back to me already about the cassette that I was most interested in, providing 5 photos including lyrics. Don't want to ask him for too much more after that, but seems very receptive to giving further info. https://www.facebook.com/tbirdbuzz
Needs research. - Bo Hectre
Discography: "Jumped Up Fiddle'n" demo (cassette)
Punk. - Pointless

Already listed. - Noise Filter
Needs research. - Leperchaun
Discography: "Full Devil Jacket" demo (cassette, Cloakroom Records, distributed by Ugly American)
Needs research. - Society's Rejects
Discography: "Limited Extremes" demo (cassette)
Needs research. - Stronghold
Discography: "Courage" demo (cassette - not pictured; unlike other titles here, handwritten J-card. Could use additional information about distribution for this one. Seeking audio for all.)

From what I heard, I would not bother. If more samples ever do show up and they're different from what we have, you can always create an appeal in the other subforum.

Got samples for John Feula and Intent To Kill. Will assess metalness soon.

Intent To Kill: Sounds like hardcore inspired crossover. Could use another opinion, I'm not good with crossover.
https://youtu.be/Y296SmQUJbc?si=fZ1FJ1cchWELD-k7

John Feula: Rock.
https://youtu.be/Rs35KLjXn5U?si=xWCp6r8LAYLFhX8K

Aberration: No VR per band member.

Pointless: I found an 80s new Jersey demo by a band called Pointless on YouTube. But this demo is called 'Confusion', not 'Confused'. Same band or extreme coincidence? This band sounds like punk.
https://youtu.be/xMm0IJ34rqI?si=UHj8LFW4ADsnxJxc

Noiefier: The band's actual name is Noise Filter, and has a discogs listing. Listed as grindcore. *Edit* I believe the band is already listed too.

Great work, like usual, G.O.M. That is the same band, Noise Filter. Going to add "The Dentist" to their discography, and use the logo from that tape for their M.A. page. Being that this band is German, it can be noted that not all of the tapes in that collection are from the East Coast of US.
Very likely the same 'Pointless' that you found a YouTube video for - can be removed.

Vengeance (11962): Already listed. Line up matches the description from the book.

Intrepid Dissent were added today, and can be removed. Thanks.

Alex Rock Band: 7" was uploaded to HMR. Sounds like Rock.

Prowler (1569): Found some live samples. Strides the line between Heavy Metal and AOR/Hard Rock pretty tightly. Would like an opinion on this one.

Additionally, the country for Piss (9001) can be updated to the US. They were from New Jersey, and featured Bill Zebub in their lineup. Have updated this info in the original post.

Baldadeath - I just put in an appeal for Zahareth (Jordan) (3554), a band that you posted about in here. They have a 2-song cassette on eBay and samples. If the blacklisting is lifted, feel free to submit.
viewtopic.php?f=27&t=142101

An update for the list, Zaharet (2138) is the same band, and can be removed.

Crowdead: Doesn't seem interested in a physical release/download nor is it indicated the band has one. I asked about VR on a video and he said to just rip it though those mp3 converters. No VR.

Hamer: Is this just not a minor name change of Hämmer or is it more complicated than that?
https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/H%C3%A4mmer/13192

Inborn Mechanics: Bunch of samples here. Mentions a 2011 EP called 'Reborn'. The tracks are downloadable from reverb but have different art than this download site. Need a bit more detail. Borderline too.

Lazy Fox: Live samples. Might be too rock heavy.
https://youtu.be/8qlNtUFNNQo?si=EUI3axymbOWizh32

Zahareth update: whitelisted, and ready to be submitted. If Baldadeath doesn't in one week or doesn't want to, open for anyone.

Hamer - more complicated than that. Different lineup, and not really the same band. It is done with Hammer's blessing, but features only later era one-year member https://www.metal-archives.com/artists/Harris/57508 and is otherwise a different lineup.

Nomad: Already listed under 'The Nomad'.

The project is blacklisted most likely for being too centred noisecore than grindcore however I am trying to find the 2021 release and see if is more clearcut for inclusion on this site. Anyone able to find files for "Delusional Blasphemies Destroyed"? Looks like a lot of the first release but who knows, maybe the riffs on this version are more metallic at least.

Here's a couple of songs. Description on upper video hints there has been another demo released in 1987.

More noise rooted than metal.

Eh, I am not in Italy anymore (now I work in Istanbul) and I don't have my data/folders/images.... I will create the page with the few information I could find through your links, beside the year of formation which is 1995 as from an old email that I found in my mailbox. Any additional info is welcome

Got the Underground Evil And Gore: 4 Way Split today. All of the bands have very rough production to a point where it's difficult to assess sometimes.

Rotted Priest: Sounds like it could be acceptable death metal/grindcore.

Viscaxeration: Sounds more rooted in LDOH goregrind/noise. Very tinny audio.

Khristhate: Very raw black/death metal.

I'll submit the two acceptable ones soon.

White Rock were added today, and can be removed. Thanks.

Inborn Mechanics: Found more concrete VR proof. Submitted.

Drevious: asked if they ever released a demo CD or a download and got a no from what i believe is the band.

Rainmaker888: Samples of all their tracks here. They can be downloaded from the archive which makes me believe they were that way originally as well. They have a 1999 promo under this name.

https://web.archive.org/web/20020926120 ... er888.com/

You know what, I think the Enemymaker page should be changed to rainmaker. It looks like the CD was just rebranded under Enemymaker.

Halterus: No Vr.

Trauma (11998): Got samples. Will assess samples later.

Imported the ones not on MA, blacklisted or already on the list. I've set them all to needs samples and VR, but probably not true for all at closer inspection. Have at it.

A Piece of the Action: Borderline metalcore.

https://apotaband.bandcamp.com/album/a- ... itled-2010

Advent: Decent enough heavy/folk metal/rock. Needs proof of VR, but mosh king mentions an EP being released in 2005. *edit* VR might be covered actually, as the listing mentions a live cd/dvd.
