More advance rehearsal tracks from the US Pazuzu, this time two songs and they are slightly more refined than on the previous Pazuzu tape I posted. Worry not, it's still primordial racket with an audible (if a bit low volume) rehearsal sound. Most said on the previous post applies here I guess so I'm not going great lenghts to describe this. I like it.

Yet another Moonspell live from 1995 - I did warn you I was fond of these and am still interested to get all and any I'm missing. As you see the setlist is the same as on the Kåren gig posted earlier and my swap comment applies here as well. This has a very even if slightly muffled sound, but it's surely good by bootleg standards and easy on the ears. Performance is ok too. I'm not certain of the venue as for some reason it's not written on my cassette or cover, I think it might've been Paradiso, can anyone please confirm?

UPDATE: Yup, it's Paradiso all right, but the date was incorrect, 3rd not 8th! This error might actually be due the handwriting in the tracklisting I originally got but don't remember for sure.

This one I've had ripped for quite a while, but I have been reluctant to post it as I'm not 100% certain of it. However I decided to quit worrying and upload it - maybe someone among you can verify this for me?

The item that causes me all this worry is the rehearsal/demo 1993 by Lord Of Pagathorn. I don't remember anyone ever mentioning this recording, but I received it back in the day from one of my more reliable trader contacts, who had loads of uncommon and rare Finnish metal recordings - I wish I had traded longer with him - and I am inclined to believe him. There are six quite short (average song length would be a tick over 3 mins) tracks, straight ahead and fast black metal. Very good rehearsal sound. I didn't receive a tracklisting and they probably were unnamed anyways so I'm just calling them Untitled I - VI. It's an enjoyable rehearsal recording, L.O.P. or not. Recommended.

So, if someone recognizes this as some other band and has proof to the claim, leave me a note (with a link to what it's supposed to be). Otherwise, enjoy this early & obscure piece of Finnish black metal.

UPDATE: I've forgotten to write that yeah, this is Lord of Pagathorn. Better late than never. Switched the old logo to decorate the post too.

As promised, metal this time. Finnish black/dark/death metal band Thromdarr is not very well known, despite releasing an early demo "As A Wind Cries" in 1992. Their next better known release for most is the so far only album "North Storm Arrives" from 2000 on Solistitium Records. In the 8 years between, however, they did record and release (apparently in very limited numbers or only to select people) a number of demos and this one from 1995 would be one of them. My copy was dubbed to me by one of my Finnish traders, not sure if he had an original.

The music is mainly black metal, in the 90's Finnish way, with influences from other music styles like death and heavy metal present. The main vocal is medium growly though he does other tricks too like spoken parts (not awful), cool shrieks et cetera. Two longer tracks and a very short title track for almost 15 minutes. Good and clear demo sound and a decent rip even if the tape had some wear & tear, audible occasionally but not drastic. Give it a try if you liked Thromdarr's album/old demo, enjoy Finnish 90's demos and so on and on.

UPDATE: Mika found & scanned the covers for me! Uploading them to Mediafire and a cut version to decorate the post.

For once I'm posting all I've from a band quickly: here is the third and last (well actually first on the tape he dubbed me) demo I was recorded back in the day. I like this one a little bit better than the middle demo "Grey Empire..." but not as much as the debut one. Well, to be honest, the first track is better and the rest about same level as the 2nd demo was. If you downloaded and enjoyed the previous two demos, chances are you'll want this one too. I promise I'll upload some metal next in case you wondered if I've become utterly lost.

UPDATE: Seems like the first sentence is false as I found the fourth (?) demo from 1996 a trader had dubbed me so this was not all. I'll be ripping & posting that one eventually.

Ok, this is the second Landscape demo and this time the songs are very short, the whole demo lasts less than 9 minutes. The sound has also changed and the vocals are softer this time making it sound more gothic than the debut demo. Personally I prefer the 1st and 3rd demo over this one, but feel free to form your own opinion and try it out. People who liked the previous post, enjoy gothic and/or dark atmospheric music or are addicted to uncovering obscure bands and projects are likely candidates for this.

Here is the first demo of the Swedish hard (for me) to define project Landscape. I could try to describe the music as sort of gothic electronic music that takes some elements from extreme metal as well. I wouldn't call this industrial of any sort. It's mostly keyboards, drum machine and voice. Daniel, the man behind the project, dubbed on my tape the first three demos in late 1995 or early 1996. I recall he did at least one demo after the three I received from him, can't be sure though. Cover scans are included and I really don't seem to come up with much more to say right now, well maybe that I personally prefer this demo best and Christophe Szpajdel made the logo. Give it a try, it's not like it'd cost you something.
