Wait.. you aren't talking about Tempest from the UK, are you?... the ex-Smokin' Roadie band? What's it like?? Is it as AOR sounding as Smokin' Roadie??? I love 'Midnight'...
Nope, the German act whos 12" I've reviewed on the main site.

You're darn right about FRENZY btw. Melodic NWOBHM at its absolute best and way more deserving of a full-length release than half the Ebony catalogue.

I would say Infernal Death, from Texas. I have only heard 1 demo, but I don't think they have never sold out.

bummer... Been looking for that Tempest UK record for a while now...

Half the Ebony catalogue? You mean just the comps then right? ha! The only Ebony record release I've been into is that SHY record... Gimme a chance!

if VOMIT from Norway had released an album it would probably be one of the best Death Metal records recorded since the "Rot in Hell" demo kills. When you listen to that demo and the rehersals you clearly know where NIHILIST got their sound from.

Then of chourse, both BLEAK HOUSE & VIRTUE would probably have made great records since the songs on their singles are so powerful and immortal.

Still, some bands dont have to release more than a single or a demo. They have done their best and leave the rest for others to pick up, you know. I guess BLEAK HOUSE could be one of those bands to...

I've been looking for their demo for quite a while, but still haven't found it.

Seems the LP is sold out from the label but it might be available from some distributors.

PONTIUS PROPHET (ex-Agent Steel) had one of the most killer (and totally overlooked) speed metal demos of the late 80s.
Scarab

other bands that I think would had made great LPs is Virtue and Scarab. Both of them have made singles that is out of this world!!

Scarab have got together to record a album for Miskotonic........three of the original memebers, drummer tba................

Yep some killer acts listed......PONTIOUS PROPHET, HEATHENS RAGE [I actually think their first demo especially may even be better than the 12"] NEPTUNE, SINDROME, INSANE [Swe] and the 2 BAD HEAVEN demos....Loads more but I need to think.
