Sten, I remember to possess the Autopsy Mental pic once. I had to widen the hole to put it on the turntable and get it down afterwards. It was pretty unplayable overall.

My Autopsy hole is good, but I have that problem with many other records, pretty shitty

"My Autopsy hole is good"

Some things become funny when you remove them from their context. hehe.

Glad to hear about your Autopsy hole.

I've had that problem with a lot of picture discs too. Even worse is when they get stuck on the turntable. Just one reason I try to avoid pic discs - I hate the idea of having a record that wasn't meant to be played.

@ keir

Agree 99,9%. the missing promile is due to fact I'll probably try to hunt Emperor's Return pic down.

I read a study recently that seems to imply the opposite - the more one spends on an item, the greater the enjoyment one gets out. Can't say that applies to me though - I get a great kick out of having found a mint copy of *In battle there is no law* for about 50pence sterling haha!

Interesting, though that certainly doesn't apply to me

Maybe it's because I'm poor, or maybe it's because I try to be very responsible with my money, but I hate having to spend lots of money on something, even if it's a fair price for the item and it's something I really want.

I hear you! Poverty makes you relish the thought of getting even one or two records and finding a bargain is always nice! I can't ever imagine being obsessive enough to spend hundreds of euros on an item of music - it's quite crazy really. At the end of the day I don't care if it's a re-release or whatever, as long as I can hear the music, see the packaging/cover art! It's why I go into music in the first place! Not to become poor with loads of rare records locked into a closet.

I would put these in "Recent Metal Finds" (i mentioned them there) but everyone posted their pictures are in this thread so I figured I might as well leave them here.

NITEFALLL "Black Tommorow" Advance cassette single (definately less than 50 made, probably between 15-25 but im not sure of the exact number)

SEVERE WARNING/MUTANT SOLDIER split tape

BASTARD SQUAD and BORN RUDE demo tapes

TORTURED BY DISGUST "Ethnic Cleansing" demo tape

(side view so you can see the band name)

TORTURED BY DISGUST demo w/ FACE VALUE - "Take it or Leave It" demo

SSA - 3 song promo tape (to be opened soon) with THRASH METAL ATTACK II

ANOTHER "Limited Edition" Auburn Records comp that ive never heard of until now. First the live "Best Buy" sampler, then "The Last 20 Years" sampler. I dont know if there are more but its very possible. This is MSOD, SPAWN, VICTORY FLAG, ERECTO-JECTOR, FLATLINE, GATLIN, SOULLESS, and RUN DEVIL RUN live in 2001 (2 songs each).

(this is the flyer for the show this was recorded at)

note: The Record Exchange (now The CD Exchange) is where I bought my AXIS lp and MANIMALS cd. And 88.7 kicks ass.

Very cool that stuff, more cool if I'd know all these bands...

Great stuff !!!

Gosh! Blood of Christ, this is amazing! So many totally unknown bands. I suppose at least few of them maybe techno-thrash, huh? And all hailed from Cleveland area. I wonder how many Slovenians were in these bands, since Cleveland is known as the biggest "Slovene" city. It has the biggest population with Slovenian genotype. Can you post some bands line-ups? Of course, we will be more than pleased if sth of this will eventually get "published" you-know-where. Cheers!

Well if the Metal Archives weren't down (as usual) we could probably look up some of the lineups of these bands.

Hi everyone,

Thanks for the compliments on the stuff! I havent added stuff to M-A in a while, but as of right now the lineups for Mutant Soldier, Severe Warning, Nitefall, Sacred Heart, Seductive Blasphemy, Sinister, SSA and a bunch of others are up. Unfortunately the info is very often not 100% accurate...such as with Paralyser. The lineup on the inside of "Convicted" has all the band members names intentionally spelled wrong (Don Fose, Eric Berris, etc). I have all the lineups to the "Distant Thunder" bands and "Convicted To The Avant Garde" bands, some other info on some of them. Its just that a lot of it is inaccurate (sometimes intentionally, sometimes not). I can type out all the lineups but I need to get the tapes out again and I recently packed up a bunch of my stuff to move it and Im not completely sure what boxes theyre in. I can have the information typed out, it just might take a while.

The Cleveland scene was huge, and way more then 50% of the bands went completely unnoticed. There is an endless amount of undiscovered "gems" from that area, especially because no one really "researched" the scene like people today have done with Sweden, the UK, Texas, and a lot of other places. Another thing that makes it irritating is that its a very "incestuous" scene. Its like everyone was in everyone elses band at some point. Connections to the Underground Express web-of-obscure-bands can be found all over the place, but theres really no way of knowing where. For example, Ive been in touch with a guy who played guitar in the EXTREMELY early rehearsal days of Terror (everyone else except for Brian and one other person from that era is dead...long story). I just recently learned from a completely unrelated source that he was in an obscure band with multiple ex-members of MADDOXX (i had no idea so I never thought to ask him about them before)!

Fuck, I have to go now, or Im going to be late for work. Ill type more on this stuff later.

Dude, whenever you will have time. If it's next year or 2010, no problem. It will surely be fine to read out more anytime in near to mid future. Cheers!
