Compilation only bands that should have done more
PATHFINDER metal massacre
Inspired by a previous post,I was wondering if anyone can help with some information about Pathfinder,the band featured in metal massacre compilation series offering the masterpiece "Fountain Keeper".This is one of the best tracks featured in those series in my opinion,but I'm completely in the dark concerning their activities as a band apart from the song mentioned above.Come share your knowledge with a poor desperate metal addict.

Well,I was talking to a couple of band members and they had told me all Anesthesia material that ever existed were 3 tracks,2 of them known and one more(which I'm still begging them to send me but they can't find the tapes).They had trouble finding a good singer and the one they used to record the demo was a session singer,so they disbanded since they wanted to be pure professionals I guess....I hope my efforts won't be to no avail and I'll listen to the third song in the end....humus wrote:Did anybody ever find more material of ANESTHESIA from the Norway rocks compilation???

Re: PATHFINDER metal massacre
Well, if you had read the Compilation Encyclopedia you'd know that the singer was previously in BREAKER and sang on their godly In Days Of Heavy Metal EP.Trigger wrote:Inspired by a previous post,I was wondering if anyone can help with some information about Pathfinder,the band featured in metal massacre compilation series offering the masterpiece "Fountain Keeper".This is one of the best tracks featured in those series in my opinion,but I'm completely in the dark concerning their activities as a band apart from the song mentioned above.Come share your knowledge with a poor desperate metal addict.

Some I love that, TMK, never had other releases (if I'm in error, please let me know):
'Norway Rocks' has been mentioned, but my favorite band on there is the amazing Manitou (all the bands on there are good).
Pathfinder was a good call! Always loved that tune
Straight Six contributed 3 classic nwobhm tunes to the 'Southern Comfort Vol 1' album, which is one of those obscure 'local sampler' nwobhm comps. It also has 2 killer tracks by Deuce, but they did eventually record a single.
Tempest Ride gave us one of the best nwobhm tracks on 'The Bridge Album' (another rare local sampler). They did change names and record more material, but it never sounded as good. That comp also features a great track by a band called Rough Cut that I don't know anything about
Blackbird's incredible 'rise' from the 'Double Up' comp
I really like Sadwinder's track on 'Moose Molten Metal'
I also really like Assassin's track on 'No Substitute for Steel'. I've never looked the band up
Did those lost Sorcerer (Cleveland) recordings ever see the light of day? If not, then I guess they count too
Sticking with Cleveland, I'm guessing Battery and Roadies Nightmare managed demos at some point...?

Oh, sorry. Can't help you there. If you find anything, please let us know!Trigger wrote:I'm talking about Pathfinder though and Pathfinder only,demos,live bootlegs,anything,other compilation participation etc....
That was released as a 7".nightsblood wrote:I also really like Assassin's track on 'No Substitute for Steel'. I've never looked the band up
No, though Pat Delaney had a solo 7".nightsblood wrote:Did those lost Sorcerer (Cleveland) recordings ever see the light of day? If not, then I guess they count too
I would have loved SBF to have released something more than the two tracks on Från Pop Till Ny Våg. Anyone know about this band - any demos known?
