The Threat (US-MA) - Keep The Silence (Private, 1995)

Very rare US private metal from Massachusetts. Here's a song from their "Sacred Ground" cd from 1995. Losers from metallum say it's from Canada... It's very annoying that there are a lot of undiscovered 90's metal cds from the whole New England area the supposed "mind" of the States... You could expect that from Ohio & Texas not from MA or NH...

Enjoy!

Horror Factor (US-MI) - Hidden (Private, 1995)



Very rare private metal from Michigan. Here's a track from the one & only release by the band called "Coughing Ink" released back in 1995. A very difficult to describe cd with many influences, maybe that's why the band remained unknown.
Hope you enjoy!








Salem (US-CA) - Judgement (Private, 1994)



Ultra-rare 3-track promo cd from Californians Salem released in 1994. "Judgement" is my favorite song from the "Skitzomaniak" mini-cd. All 3 songs supposed to be taken from the "Ritual Abuse" release (cd/tape) but to my knowledge that has never been released.

Enjoy!









Myrmidion Creed (Ger) - Outside The Mirror (Gorgon, 1994)




One of the best cds released by the Gorgon/Inline label - maybe this is my favorite. Outstanding US... hmm I mean German metal from the band Myrmydion Creed & their cd called "Through Painful Eyes... And Thoughts Of Hope" released in 1994. There are 2 versions from that cd, everything is common on both releases (booklet, backcover etc) except the cd itself . The one of those was printed as limited edition. Not sure about the quantity though.

Enough of my babble - ENJOY!!!!









Strych-9 (US-OH) - Not Like The Rest (Private, 1999)

Another unknown Ohioan band from the 90's. This is the s/t track from their one & only release called "Not Like The Rest" released independently in 1999 which was recently added on metallum. Mid-tempo metal in general but the music varies & it has many influences from heavy/groove or even thrash scene.

Enjoy!

Lyranthe (US-WA) - There Will Be Gone (Private, 2003)

Another great song from the Lyranthe's - Oculus Inferno cd. This song was also taken from the 1st US private press from 2003 NOT the Lone Wolf Music reissue from 2004. Only a bunch of people are aware of the US press & that the singer was practicing with Heir Apparent for a moon... He was also involved in the cool cd "Perceptions" by Near Infinity back in 1993.


Enjoy!
