METALLICA AT THE BREAKING SOUND FESTIVAL (1984)

Michael Johansson: I took this photo of Metallica moments after the show... at the Breaking Sound Festival at Aéroport du Bourget outside Paris back on August 29 1984. 

Cliff looks exhausted... I can't believe my eyes... They are all drinking Heineken... 😮 What's wrong with the hard rock world... It is so bitter and smelly...


I don't know if the April 1st 1983 story about Kirk is true or not. 
He was still in Exodus and got a call from someone in the Metallica camp asking if he wanted to join them. Seems he thought it was an April Fool's joke and hung up 🙂 ... I guess they called back - good thing they did!

W.A.S.P. IN SWEDEN (1984)

Courtesy of Michael Johansson, visit him here for more information and licensing his photos.

Michael Johansson: I took this photo of Blackie somewhere in Sweden back in October 1984. I think it is at Glädjehuset in Stockholm. I managed not to get any blood or meat on me during these three W.A.S.P. shows in Gothenburg, Karlskoga and Stockholm.

Before Sweden they had played in Paris and Chris or Blackie had said they were so badly treated by the French they would never go back there. They were refused at several restaurants and taxi drivers didn't want to pick them up...

There was some protests in Sweden also but all three gigs went fine.

SATAN’S PHARYNX (GER) … SHORT BAND HISTORY & STREAM THE DEMOTAPES

Satan's Pharynx came from Moers, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany and was formed in 1981.

They had a four-man lineup: Ralf Kuhnekath (vocals), Christian Büttner (guitar), Peter Beck (bass) and Nils Geller (drums).

Although the band was often been compared to Venom, their two demos clearly demonstrate that they had developed their own style. The sound could be described as very N.W.O.B.H.M. influenced. It's heavy and reminds you of Witchfinder General, Witchfynde, Satan and then of course Venom. The songs are all short bursts of heavy power. Very catchy and a have a sound all of  their own.

Unfortunately they only released two demo tapes and had two tracks on the 1985 compilation "Break Out - German Metal Tracks No. 1", before they called it quits.
