That 12"mlp is just fantastic. Pure oldschool US heavy metal.

Seikima-II [Seikimatu, Seikimatsu]

One of the biggest bands in Japanese Metal history - but other than Freddy, I doubt anyone on this board knows much about them.

I have 4 full length vinyls and 4 7"s. Some very good and some mediocre stuff. And thus I lost interest for their telephone book catalog.

First three are great. Then they went into direction I don't care for.

This is a weird picture. But I like it. Are those, like, the dudes' yearbook photos on the cover of the demo?

Long live the demo tape.

I've heard of most all of these bands.

This is the most hipster thread I've ever seen on here!

Listen to this man. Wyzards is fantastic.

How about these guys:









Just four knucklehead kids, but man, they kicked ass. I got a number of people to buy this EP and their previous demo, and the band took MONTHS to mail things. Yeah, they were kids, but it was annoying. But again, both their releases are awesome. No idea what any of them are up to now.

It's pretty pointless playing this game with you guys as this is your thing, but as we are allowed to venture into thrash territory and go with one I picked up on 7" a few months ago.



I have no idea what happened to these guys after this EP but it totally kicks ass. Unfortunately I also can't find a decent studio version anywhere on the internet so you will have to get an idea from this.



I'm sure that some of you will know this band but it's the best I could think of.

It it makes you feel better, I rarely have any clue who a lot of the bands are you post in the recent hauls thread. Heh.
