Some rare Italian compilations
Posted: Fri Mar 20, 2009 10:42 am
Here's 2 of the finest European underground compilations I've heard in a long while. All recordings should be exclusive to these albums (not counting demos of course).
"Heavy Metal Eruption" from '83 was one of the first (if not THE first) Real Metal comps from Italy, mostly known for including the DEATH SS-track "Black & Violet", but it's also full to the brim of top-quality, fast and raw HM from the likes of HALLOWEEN, CRYING STEEL, SHINING BLADE etc.. The ROLLERBALL track rips - creepy and unique stuff w/ wild Toto Bergman/Steve Sylvester-like vocals. Another cool surprise is the ELEKTRADRIVE track "The Lord Of The Ring", unlike their other wimpy material a fantastic Epic Metal scorcher!
"Heavy Metal Made in Italy" from '84 is equally great. More storming material from SHINING BLADE and ELEKTRADRIVE, as well as a killer exclusive GUNFIRE track, the raw & mean BLACK EVIL, unknowns WHISPERING BELLS (best track on the album?) and more. Enjoy:
