ANNABEL LEE - Demo 91, very obscure Croatian Black Metal

I have been searching for this for years, and finally got it...

Very obscure demo with obscure vocals, and dark lyrics sung in Croatian.
The band lasted from 88 - 91, when their singer died in the war.
They called themselves a Black Metal band, though on their last recording they turned to dark wave. On their live gigs they used stuff such as sculptures of fallen angels, crosses, etc. trying to make the stage look as a graveyard. For sure, no other band in Croatia sounded like them...
Enjoy!

Now THIS is the kind of recordings I love to discover. Pure Eastern-Block dementia. BOMBARDER meets Paul Chain? THANK YOU roihlem!

Seriously, there MUST be more material written with this band while they still were playing Metal. Do we have any Croatian members who can do some research on live tapes/rehearsals?

I have been permanently looking for any material from them for about 4 years asking all people from the older generation that I had a contact address and noone had anything. Most of them never heard of them, while 2 guys remembered an old article in one fanzine. That`s all! I even contacted some band members, but they either did not have any recordings or did not wanted to share them to people they did not know personally.
A friend of mine finally found out about their bassist and he did send him that demo + 2 more songs recorded in another studio being Gothic Rock. I can upload those two songs as well, if you are interested but they sound much different.

Yeah, I'd like to hear those too, if only for reference.
