Italian label with some heavy ties to Poland I gather, since ALASTOR, TURBO, DRAGON and ASTHAROTH all were polish bands. It's possible that this exchange went both ways, since I've seen some Italian MetalMaster-albums available as Polish cassette releases too.
Qualitywise they went from Friggin' Fantastic (Adramelch, Death SS etc..) to mediocre (Schyte, R.A.F...). Most releases should be findable with the exception of the Death SS 12"s which usually comes with rather hefty pricetags, if at all.

MET 103 | Schyte | The Darkness Comes | LP | 1988 | False alarm! This should be awesome with the b/w sleeve, neat logo, olde english title font and of course being from Italy, but it isn't. Metal Forces made the Schyte/shite-joke already back in '88 and I wouldn't go that far, but just state it's funny-bad, demo-level Speed/HM that wants to be Dark & Evil but comes off as a joke-band. Not nearly as funny and interesting as UK's Deliverance despite a few embryos of good song ideas. |

MET 107 | Strana Officina | Rock & Roll Prisoners | LP | 1988 | It doesn't look like much compared to their great previous MLP, but while it does steer slightly towards more commercial territories it's still another awesome release from one of Italy's finest. They would have done great on a Danish tour together with Pretty Maids, Randy and Witch Cross in 1987. |
