First upload for June is the only demo of the German black metal band (or project) Gilles De Rais which features some Herodes members - most of you probably haven't heard of Herodes (also spelled Herodez, I think correct was with 's - NO! HERODEZ IS CORRECT!!!) either, but those who have: I need their demos, leave me a note if you have them. Comrade THE DECEASED provided me with a better image of the cover and a scan of the flyer, thanks bro! I still need a scan of the covers if anyone might have it. The Metal Archives image was really awful (included in the rar for your displeasure). See below.


Underground German black metal with a rough but well audible 90's demo sound. Some touches of synth are used every now & then in the background to reinforce the atmosphere. There's more effort to songwriting than just full speed ahead, it might not be the most avant garde & original material ever but I enjoy it. I don't know if the demo's concept is based around the charming personality and deeds of Gilles de Rais himself but I wouldn't be surprised if this were the case. I recommended this to people into underground German black metal, old 90's black metal demos in general and so on.

Hell yeah!!! Search for this since '96/'97! I still have the flyer for this; ordered it, but was ripped-off (I think by the fucking postal services) back then - so you really make my day with that demo!
I remember seeing it on ebay a year ago or so, but it went too high in the price, so... But I saved the pic with the full inlay (not really as worthy as a scan actually, but better than nothing) - if you want, I could post it on Yappy's blog together with the flyerscan and link it to your post here - would that be OK?
Thanx again!! Great stuff, finally in my ears!

Sure brother, anything is better than the miserable MA image and the dull, small logo! Glad to make your day, I thought this seemed rare enough to be on someone's want-list!
Have you heard Herodes, I've their "Halbwelt" demo BUT it cuts. I'm wondering if I should rip & post it anyways as it seems to be pretty rare too.

So, thanx for permission, watch out for it.
Well, have never heard of Herodes/z, and even if it cuts it will be an interesting listen I believe, judged by the stuff you already posted on your blog. 'nough praised, haha!!
Btw, visit Yappy's blog the next days, I'll post some stuff that could be of interest for you I think. Cheerz pal!

Ok I'll be sure to check out the more recent updates, recently I've been checking out older and older posts there, you know it can be quite an intimidating experience! Tons and tons of stuff!

I guess I'll do the Halbwelt demo even if it cuts since it refuses to be found. :) I just hate incomplete/cut material but sometimes that's unavoidable!
