The Corroseum forum (new design under construction)

Anyone know much about these guys? I've never heard of 'em, but their demo from 1986 got posted on several blogs this week. Really good stuff; sounds like War Cry, Enforcer (Chicago), Witchslayer, and other bands with that 'Metal Massacre 4' sound. The MA page is pretty basic.

Indeed fitting of the MMIV sound.
And awesome music! Information seems very limited indeed. I'll keep on it.

WoW !!! This band is Awesome !!! Pure TALENT!!!

Sorry I forgot to post the link It's available on both Lockjaw and Strappado's blog

Yeah, the youtube link was about the only other thing I found with a quick google search

Gotta love that MM4 style- great 'nongenre' indeed!

Quite heavy and ultra-killer vocals, cool discovery. They remind me on the dutch band VALKYRIE, lyric- and musicwise.

Valkyrie !!! That brings back memories. I used to hang out with these guys.Their singer Eric Smits live 2 doors down from me and they used to practice in his father's garage.Used to have loads of copies of their Deeds Of Prowess demo and gave them all away :( Nowadays he is the bass player in a prog band called Casual Silence (and also my son's teacher, small world indeed)

Deeds of Prowess is a masterpiece. Do you still have contact with the singer? It would be great to re-release that demo.

If not, Ed Warby is very easy to track down.

Must say, Valkyrie wasn't the first thing to come to mind when I heard the songs.

Actually I'd say this has more of an 'Iron Tyrants vol 1' sound, but why be nitpicky?

This is seriously excellent shit though! I get the VALKYRIE-comparison (and yes, they too MUST get properly released soon..) but mainly coz both bands have a hefty Manowar-influence. "Put to the sword" even reminded me of Candlemass, but that's probably more a case of shared influences than a direct link.

Dan- I get a Nemesis-early Candlemass vibe from that track too.

Fucking amazing! I downloaded it on the very first day it was up since it was a demo from my wantlist for quite a long time and...BLAM it fucking blew me away. The track 'Assassin' destroys without mercy. Needless to say that I've started working on the lyrics

discovery of the weekend...these guys have all kinds of heavy riffing, when they slow down between songs its a headbanging fest right there...and the vocals! loving the sometimes out of tune screams that fit perfectly into the music

Mighty. Thanks, Blaxe.

"Assassin" is a legendary track!

I'd like also to note that the u-n-b-e-l-i-e-v-a-b-l-e music at the 03:50 and forward is among the most epic moments in metal history. Check also the following track from the Greek epic metallers, especially between 05:45-07:15..

Battleroar "The Wrathforge"
