Stormspell's THRASH releases...

Has anyone been following the many Thrash Metal releases coming out on Stormspell? They've released some great, underground, classic thrash. HellHound is fantastic! Chemical Annihilation, Rapid Fire, Lich King, Anacrusis...plus the Thrash Clash series.

The last Drifter and Amulance releases were extremely tasty! Stormy does a well above average job on all of his releases. You can always tell the guys that care about the music, more than the buck, by the quality of the work they release.

Yup. Just mentioned this yesterday after I ordered Anacrusis, Chemical Annihilation, Raidfire, Natural Spirit, Eldritch Rite, and Held Under.

And it's not just the great music; the whole package rules. I can't say enough good things about Stormy and the hard work he puts into this stuff. He's a dying breed.

ALL of stormy's stuff is great!!!

Yes, i like also many of his releases. I have the two THRASH CLASH cds that i love, and the DRIFTER cd is cool too, with those demos (specialy the first demo is killler).
Also the FATAL VIOLENCE is totaly cool with the extra dvd. I hope this guy is going to release more and more nice cds in the future.

Yep. I buy his stuff as much for the packaging as anything, but I have the first 4 in the Thrash Clash series. The music is very good, so that's a bonus.

Stormspell along with Sentinel Steel are 2 labels that put out great underground metal, also Rockadrome is good as well but are pricey!

I Love Stormspells stuff.The Hellhound is a great cd.I still need to get that Chemical Annihilation and Rapid Fire.

I'm really digging the Hellhound disc. I'll have a review of that one up soon.

Chemical Annihilation is next on my list to check out.

Rapid Fire should be interesting since it's some of the guys from Hellhound and is compared to Metal Church.

The only Rapid Fire I know is from Phoenix AZ. Is there another band with the same name?

Anyways I like some of the releases. The Thrash Clash stuff is cool and so is that Hellhound!

Stormspell's releases are fast becoming some of my favorites. I also have gotten a lot of great stuff from the distro.

One of the very best labels around.

Not thrash, but Stormspell just released the Narval debut cd, a local band from here that is a side project of Dantesco's singer and guitarrist. For those of you who wants to experience a truly epic version of Rainbow, you should check them out.

Stormspell just released a CD by a band from California called Rapid Fire. The band is made up of former HellHound members. They recorded a demo in 1992 and then started recording an album in 1993. The album was not finished or released until now. It's called Settle the Score. They have a sound that is similar to Vicious Rumors, Metal Church, Meliah Rage, etc.

I loved the music on that one, but the vocals were too high in the mix. At least they seemed that way on the samples.

Do you have the album? If so, can you rip a full song so I can hear it that way? They sounded excellent, but the vocals were hard to handle.

Yes, I have it. Here is a track: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=P07X95K2

The Chemical Annihilation CD is fantastic. The first six songs are chock full of Slayer-ific thrash riffs. Imagine if Cronos from Venom had joined a young Slayer. This CD is what might have come out of that collaboration.

Ah, much better sound. The singer does seem to struggle a bit, but it sounds a lot better.

Have that Narval coming anyday now!

I'll have to give the Narval a second listen. I didn't like some of the vocals the first couple times I heard it, especially on that ballad. (Song 2 or 3 on the disc I think.)

However, I do like most of the other CDs I've heard from StormSpell.

Mr.Spell is a poet amungst men and his releases are very top shelf. No corners cut with Iordan.

Buy from him regularly and will continue to do so. Especially when he keeps finding unknown Pacific NW metal band ala XINR and Held Under!
