New 192kbps Rips; 2nd ALIAS, FROZEN EYES, MADD HATTER etc.

Yes yet again my own rips, and I think it's justified opening a new thread, the last one turned into a bit of a mess so this wil be the legit one, and if I have anything to add later I'll do it in this thread.
Regarding the method of uploading, I can't see how it could be a problem, no waiting between downloads like with Rapidshare which I HATE, no links going dead, fast downloads, these links are also known solely by members of this board.

Anyway here's what's up:

ALIAS - 'Metal To Infinity'
FROZEN EYES - 'Frozen Eyes'
MADD HATTER - 'Madd Hatter'
'Cleveland Metal' compilation
EXCALIBUR - 'The Bitter End' EP
MISSIÓ - '1'
CASSLE - 'Midnight Fantasy' EP
SAINT VITUS - 'Look Behind You' with Scott Reagers on vocals, from the 'The Blasting Concept II' SST compilation
DER KAISER - 'Vautours'
PANDORA'S BOX - 'Omen'
SORTILÈGE - 'Sortilége' EP

Once again the instructions are as follows:

Account: 0HORNofPLENTY0 (I guess typing 0hornofplenty0 works as well)

Password: likeaneverflowingstream (that’s ‘like an ever flowing stream’ without spaces if you had trouble reading)

Please DO NOT log out of the account, as it could perhaps cause trouble to others.

The method of uploading is not a problem at all.

Edit: Never mind my bitrate Q - just noticed the header.

Alias 2nd album is very different to the first, way more polished and clean Power Metal, like a different band, at times more commercial sounding. There's some good and some bad, but when it's good it's very good, pure steel like 'Alpha-Omega', 'Metal To Infinity' and 'First Born'!

Frozen Eyes. I only saw this album once in the flesh, and that's the time I bought it for 20e. I've once seen it on a list for 100e, and the first time I heard of it was when Dan posted a photo years back saying he'd never seen another copy. Upon finding it I had to buy it out of curiosity of course

Unfortunately it isn't that great haha, it features perhaps the most lacking in taste soloing ever heard! There's nothing amazing to be found, a few cool parts though.

Madd Hatter, Texas metal crank it up!

'Cleveland Metal' is an excellent compilation with Breaker's 'Walking The Wire' and Shok Paris' rougher version of 'Go Down Fighting' being the absolute highlights.

Excalibur, classis NWOBHM, not a weak track in sight, great atmosphere.

Missio isn't too great, very melodic, but I thought someone might be curious as to what this Hungarian record sounds like.

Cassle is fantastic, the totally obscure atmosphere is mesmerising.

Der Kaiser, fantastic French metal, one of the best!

Pandora's Box is again another Hungarian curiosity, two or so great tracks the rest so and so.

The Sortilége EP is what got me into French metal and I still play it regularly, if there's anyone who hasn't heard it please give it a listen!

Hey yo Dan, it says in the topic title, it's 192kbps this time

Ok some more added:

AUGUST REDMOON - 'Fools Are Never Alone' EP
EMERALD - 'Armed For Battle' EP
KRAKEN(Col) - 'Kraken'
BERSERKS - 'Berserks'
PAUL CHAIN - 'King of the Dream' 12" - Split with SABOTAGE
VAULT - 'No More Escape' EP
APRIL 16th - 'Sleepwalking'
ELOY - 'Ocean' (this is spacey krautrock at its best)

That BERSERKS lp is an absolute MUST-HEAR for "nwobhm" (Italy) fans. Some of the finest comtemporary-early-Maiden-worship ever recorded.

Btw, the AUGUST REDMOON is apparently officially reissued and commercially avaiable, so, um.. you kinda suck again. But only a little this time

Thanks a million Daniel. Downloaded Berserks and Alias stuff which I hadn't heard before, and both are really good. This is really appreciated.

Thanks Daniel, i'm really enjoying APRIL 16th, meant to check that out for some time. Thanks for giving me the opportunity.
Looking forward to Part 2 of Sacred rite too.
Much appreciated!

Very welcome

I think it's cool if people hear something for the first time, that's why I'm doing this.

Yes, August Redmoon was re-released on CD in 2003, that's some time ago, how long should one assume things stay in print? Sorry, not trying to be funny, I'll remove it if it is indeed a problem no worries.

Anyway had some time to do a few more:

-'No Substitute For Steel' - San Diego metal compilation from '85, nothing but great stuff by ASSASSIN, CHALACE, PROWLER, RAGGED LACE, ZZYZX, RAVEN MAD, JACKAL, BIBLE BLACK, SNAKEBYTE and AMERICAN STEEL.

-SAINT - 'Warriors of the Son' EP - HARD Christian metal, Fuck you Satan! Haha

Best things are the title track and 'Time's Wasting', which should be some sort of Christian metal anthem hah.

-OBSESSION - 'Marshall Law' EP
-WITCHKILLER - 'Day of the Saxons' EP pure gold. (reissued in '98, don't know if it's ok)
-PARASITE - 'Parasite' EP Some of the best Swedish metal.

Oops, sorry about Sacred Rite, just re-sent it.

Question is if they are still commercially available. That means if brand new/still sealed copies can be found at distros/mailorders that have worldwide distribution so that practically anyone interested can purchase them.

To answer your question, a 2003 reissue does not necessarily mean that is still in print or that every year the label makes repressings. But if for example 5000 copies were initially printed and distributed and 6 years later only 1000 of them are sold, then the release is considered "still commercially available" with the rest of the copies waiting to be sold through distros or the label itself.

WITCHKILLER' EP is one them as well.

Thanx for your effort. Many songs, I'm still digesting them

Sabotage song and the vocal is great. How is their other albums? Worth checking?

It could be just me, but i have no clue where to find the files?

Thrasher Be,

the instructions are in the first post, but here they are again:

Account: 0HORNofPLENTY0 (I guess typing 0hornofplenty0 works as well)

Password: likeaneverflowingstream (that’s ‘like an ever flowing stream’ without spaces if you had trouble reading)

Please DO NOT log out of the account, as it could perhaps cause trouble to others.

So just search for gmail on Google or whatever, gmail is Google's email service, than just type in the above info and all the files are there for you to download.

Blood Red, I've liked the other Sabotage stuff I've heard more than this split so you'll probably dig their other releases, I don't have any other vinyl by them though and some of them are quite expensive.

Ion Britton, ok, clear. And feel free to just log on there and delete any files if they shouldn't be there and post about it here, I have those files saved so it's fine. I'll remove August Redmoon and Witchkiller.

Will post some more later on today.

To be honest, it feels somehow embarrassing logging in your account to delete some files, when/if a similar case reoccurs i'll either PM you or post something here in this thread so that you make the deletion yourself.
