ASTAROTH - Demo(Self Released-Italy-1984) + The Long Loud Silence(12" ep -Rave On-Holland-1985)+ Demo(Self Released-Usa-1988)

Astaroth was created in Rome by drummer John Panko Onofri and original guitarist Steve Lenti during 1982. Lenti was supplanted by Max Cipicchia. Perhaps one of the more impressive Italian Metal bands to have emerged in the mid 80's. Astaroth, fronted by the confident vocals of Bob Cattani, impressed the Dutch label Rave On Records enough to obtain a contract leading to the release of a mini album entitled 'The Long Loud Silence' in 1985.
Following a European tour and the dismantling of its record label, Astaroth moves to Los Angeles in 1987 in search of a new record deal. After encountering countless difficulties, rejections and day to day hardships, the members of the band part ways, each following a separate music career in the States. In 2005, after an 18 year hiatus, Shining, Max and Jan decide to join forces again. In 2006 the recording of ten previously unreleased songs begins in Los Angeles.(from Encyclopedia Metallum),last album "The End Of Silence" was released by She Wolf Recs in 2012.
One of the best speed metal metal bands of the Italian penisula.Enjoy It.

HITHLAHABUTH-Light-(Hithlahabuth Recs-Germany-c60-1990)

Hithlahabuth are from Germany and have been active for more than 10 years. As yet, they released only a few works on their own Hithlahabuth Records label which also served to release their solo (often under different names) and collaborative projects. Hithlahabuth is the name for "burning" or "glowing" in the sense of ecstasy of the religious notion of "chassidism".
Their work can be defined as droning sound-collages, similar to Maeror Tri and early Current 93.(from discogs)
For people into ambient noise this is a great tape.

Future Vision 2015 (Thoughts/Words)

As first post for this year that just started I am writing few thoughts that I want to share.
I started this blog on Dec.2013 with the  intention to post as much as possible mixing mail art,videos,music,zines and graphix.
I think I managed to achieve what I had in my mind at that time.
As future vision for this year I see myself less involved in all those activities- scanning old fanzines and converting tapes into digital takes lots of time and at the moment I am busy with other projects and my travels too.To all the people whom got in touch with me via email or with their comments I  can only say I am happy to know somebody out there appreciate my efforts here.
I did notice quite few people are using my original rips (taken from here or from the other blogs I used to co-operate with) for their YouTube Channels or blogs-almost everybody didn`t care to write a note to say where they did find those rips neither a simple "thanx",I would have appreciate one word or 2 of gratitude.
I still have lots of stuff to share but at the moment I do not have the time-Time is the Enemy,as always...
To all the friends who supported me in keeping this blog alive I send you all a very big thanx,I am not writing down all your names but you know who you are.
Until next time...
