CALIGULA (US/TX) "TECHNICAL AGGRESSION" [DEMO TAPE]
Country: US
Notes: Band from Queens, New York. They were active between 1984-1988. Drummer Ed Klinger also in E-X-E for a period.
RECOMMENDED LISTENING: TRIZNA (RUS) "OUT OF STEP" [ALBUM]
Genre: Progressive Thrash Metal
Year: 1995
Country: Russia
Who would like this?: As with a lot of 1990's Russian stuff, you get a mix of styles. Here we have everything from old Testament "The Legacy" style, to Progressive Thrash to European style Power Metal. For some f**kin reason they made a cover of Abba's"S.O.S" that I could have done without.
Notes: Thrash Metal band from Moscow, Russia who relocated to Covington, Georgia, U.S. They were active between 1986-2004 and then reunited in 2023. This is the band debut who was only released on Tape and CD in 1995.

GORGOROTH … SOMEWHERE ON TOUR IN EUROPE (1996)
Dissection, Satyricon and Gorgoroth toured together in Europe during 1996. The best part about this tour was the particular era it happened in these bands careers, hot on the heels of legendary albums like “Storm of the Light’s Bane”, “Nemesis Divina” and “Antichrist”. / Courtesy of Arcane Archivist

HAWKWIND (WITH LEMMY ON SONG & BASS) ”THE WATCHER” [LIVE CLIP]
From 'Moog Bass’, the YouTube uploader: I have created this video from available video footage and photos of Hawkwind paired with remastered audio of the Cleveland 1974 gig. I have boosted the bass frequencies to the benefit of the drums and the bass to give the audio a better balance.
The instrumentation is sparse throughout, this song absolutely relies on Lemmy and Simon King. The rest of the band add beautiful accents but the rhythm section drive this one.
This is to my mind the definitive Hawkwind version of The Watcher. Lemmy nails this performance with excellent bass and vocals. Motörhead made a great attempt at the song on the ‘what’s Words Worth’ release. Interestingly also live at the Roundhouse.
MEZZROW AT FRYSHUSET, STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN (1990)
Mezzrow opening up before Candlemass at the legendary and pro-shot concert on June 9, 1990.
Story from the event from Mezzrows official Facebook page: We all went to see Slayer on their World Sacrifice Tour in september 1988 at Fryshuset, Stockholm. It was, of course, a blast! (It wasn’t the first time we went there, since many thrashbands had played there during the eighties.) After Slayer had finished their set, I remember thinking that Fryshuset was the perfect place for thrash metal!
On the 9th of June 1990 we supported Candlemass at the very same venue. It was a sick feeling to play where all our favorite bands had played! A big stage with sidefills and a fence in front of the stage. A really huge contrast to the small clubs that we were used to!
Well, it was insane! We soundchecked ten minutes before people entered the hall and when we went on stage, a powerful roar from the packed venue welcomed us. Fantastic! We will always remember that night and we give you some pictures from the gig!
