I'll upload both demos this evening.
I guess DANGER CROSS is pre-VARATHRON, but I'm not sure ...

I wrote the history and posted the pic of Danger Cross.The Varathron link have no idea who posted this.Maybe some of these guys played some time with Varathron when they made some gigs in Athens in early 90's.I have an interview
with Danger Cross when they are still in Gymnasium!!The band's ages are in 1988 imagine how old they where in 1985 when they formed the band(the drummer was 9yo).Probably the youngest band ever played thrash metal in 80's!! 8)

If things go well, prepare yourselves in a few months to hear some of the most ballsy skullcrushing Greek power metal ever. I'm talking about about MACEDON HARRIERS, an old forgotten band from Serres that released only a few demo tracks and nothing official. I have those tracks and i tell you they're totally amazing -and this comes from a guy who whenever he hears the words 'Greek Heavy Metal' gets sick most of the times.

If you have the tracks what you are waiting for?
I heard that name again.But didn't thought they had released a demo.I think some of their members played with Still Heaven an early 90's Power Metal band from Serres.When did you said these demo tracks are from?Which exact year?

I guess that guy getting sick about Greek Metal is that you?!?! :evil: Pepper!!!

I don't know about Greek 80's bands, but I do have a demo from the early 90's from a band called Attic Dust. I think it's pretty good. I would describe it as operatic power metal with female vocals. I can rip and upload if you want.

I know the bassist who is also the leader, i don't think he ever mentioned something about Still Heaven. They were quite inactive in the 90s. Probably a completely different band.

The tracks were recorded somewhere in the mid-80s. What i wanted to say in my previous post is that there is possibility this stuff to be released officially within the next months. We´ll have to wait a little bit before screwing anyone's work. Believe me, a few more months are worth the wait.

I consider Exoristoi's debut to be a magnum opus! I've been wanting to listen to the other albums, Dekaennia and O Litrotis, for a long time but i've only been able to find a few songs. Anyone here has mp3s from those?

I'm no expert on Greek metal, but I have the following 7" singles in my collection:

Powerdrops - "Proud Of Our Shit" 1996
Reflection - "Sire Of The Storm" 1995
Void - "In The Beginning There Was..." 1992

Let me know if you want me to rip and upload.
