Metal from the Land of Ire

[Black Axe]

Hilariously, we saw the Killer Watt EP for €500 at Keep It True.

Did you hold the EP in your hands, look at the seller and laugh loudly?

[Dirty Rocker]

I would seriously consider paying such an amount of money for a sweet revenge - hawks of Cairo 7'', but not a chance in hell for a killer watt 12''. So if someone feel like selling one, mail me.

[Aiden]

Did you hold the EP in your hands, look at the seller and laugh loudly?

It was more of a chuckle than a laugh.

Seriously, it would be fine if you could done some historical investigating regarding 80's, bands from "Green Metal" included.

Regarding "Green Metal": does these bands produced any demos or 7'ers?

I remember reading one Yugoslavian mainstream rock press from the 80s (issue was from '84) and they clearly mentioned "green metal" as a "new genre in metal". They didn't mentioned that compilation, but a band MAMMA'S BOYS as the originators of the "genre".

You legend you!

Thanks for the update. A lot of new stuff that isn't that interesting but I did enjoy what I heard from Predator.

Any chance to upload the demo and EP for downloading?

Thanks for the update. A lot of new stuff that isn't that interesting but I did enjoy what I heard from Predator.

Any chance to upload the demo and EP for downloading?

I had to disable the Bandcamp downloads as the limit was being reached each month and people would start being charged a fee. So I posted back-up links on each releases bandcamp page.

Obviously I still need to go back to the blog pages and update a lot of them.
The PREDATOR page is updated now, but here are the download links anyway...

PREDATOR (Demo 1988)... http://www.divshare.com/download/17361751-028

PREDATOR (EP 1988)... http://www.divshare.com/download/17361761-23a

'NURSERY RHYMES... (Comp Tape 1992)... http://www.divshare.com/download/17361151-3dd
