Algaion (SWE) - The Herostrategic Legacy MCD 2001 (ever rel. by Loud'n Proud Rec. or Wounded Love ??)

Never released I'm quite sure. I was in touch with the ALGAION singer before (around that time) and I never heard about its release. The label supposed to release it (LN'P) went downhill to bankrupcy because of signing far too many bands at a time. If Wounded Love had taken over I think it had been known by now.

That Allegiance album I've never heard about. They are supposedly to be reformed, there's a myspace site.

Hi, somebody is offering me the '84 Heart Made of Steel ep from Hammerhead. Unfortunately, I don't know how they sound like.
Are they any good? Didn't find mp3's on the net.

Does someone have some infos on a band called PURPURA ? They recorded an album (eponym) in 1984 ?

Thanks !!

It's a Hard Rock Band from Argentina ! Very average stuff in my ears, but i heard them only once till now !
Their first Album is from 1983, the second "PURPURA 2" from 1984 !
The Singer is Leonora Marchesi who sang on the 3rd SANTA-LP !
You sould find more about them on the METALEROS-Site !

Thanx a lot, bro !!

I agree, the PURPURA lps are very average hard rock but I guess if you are a female vocalist maniac/specialist you might like them. But I left them behind in the bins in Argentina after I heard what they sounded like.
If you want great hard rock from Argentina I suggest you get the RIFF lps (especailly the earliest ones) or if you want to search for a rare(r) record try for HERMES 1st lp

Does someone have some infos on a band called MUTHA CORPSE ?
I think they had a 7'' out around 1986 or 1987.

Thanks a lot !!

The Run after to LP, what is it worth musically and monetary?

They were from south of France and their 7" (Ceremony for a sprite) came out in 1987. It's melodic metal with those awful 80's synth, I can upload it if you want
There's also supposed to be another heaviest track on a 1984 compilation but I haven't found it yet...

Great Doom/Epic Metal music - vocals and production could be better. A very typical Minotauro-release, ie quite similar to Paul Chain's solo stuff. One song from RAT's early 80's demo turned up on Paul Chain's "Detatching From Satan" MLP, so there's definitely a strong connection between the bands.

Monetary value? 20-30 euros maybe.

And MUTHA CORPSE was a huge disappointment for me. Cool band name - lame music.

I just noticed I downloaded their demo from Miskatonic, sounds like a band worth owning indeed! But the record is priced €40. Mint copy, but I guess I'll wait till another cheaper one shows up.

Note that the music on the MLP is more epic/progressive than the primitive Doom on the demo. Still worth getting though. 40 euros might be OK too, unless there's postage on top.

Are following german records any good???

1. Salem's Law: Tale Of Goblin's Breed 1989
2. Dawn Hawk: "Same" 1990
3. Reaper: Fairies Return 1986

Thanks in advance.

I have the "Fairies Return" EP. The first tracks are typical ACCEPT-metal with a MAIDEN touch for the guitars, they're not that bad.
The two last tracks are less interesting and more on an hard-rock edge.
The weak point of this EP (imo) are the vocals which are average.

I can upload it, if you want to judge by yourself.
