KAIN (Cro) - Live in Rijeka 1992

Well,Kain was a great Croatian Thrash band (often called Megadeth-clones) which had even a mini-LP vinyl release.Kain was one of the three bands from the Zagreb area (Kain are from Zabok,not far from Zagreb) which were pushed by the only Croatian metal TV show Metalmania (when I say forced,it means that you could hear and often also see about those three bands almost in every issue of the TV-show,even the Croatian Metal scene was waaay richer,but the guy named Pista pushed only those three bands-sic!).I won`t tell nothing about Kain and Drinking Skull in this case,as they were very fair guys and excellent bands,it is the third band that was given the biggest media space,and was the worst of those three,both as band and as persons,especially a "midget" guitarist...Ah,worthless to mention..This Kain live recording is the recording found together with the Arisse recording,so it is also a great soundboard recording,and as Kain is technically a great band,here`s this rare one for you.


Tracks;
01.Inquisition
02.Again no saints
03.They live
04.Alcovagabond
05.Kingdoom come
06.War games
07.My friend

DESINENCE MORTIFICATION (Cro) - Live at Incognito , Pula 1998

Allright,there you go,another great recording from DM (a pretty productive band,right?).This one is a perfect soundboard live recording I got from the drummer Rio.If you like extreme Grindcore-Death,then this one is a must..

Tracks;
01.Preliminary campaign-tricky game
02.We depend on
03.Where does this hatred comes from
04.Hopeful about the future
05.Wirepullers
06.Afraid to forsee
07.Awakening

DESINENCE MORTIFICATION - LIVE AT INCOGNITO , PULA 1998

ARISSE (Cro) - Live in Rijeka,Croatia 1992

Arisse came from Rijeka and were a band that didn`t lasted very long,they released two demos,one in English and one in Croatian.They play pretty primitive Thrash Metal,and this one is a great soundboard live recording I found on a cassette,along with the Kain live performance.And until now everything is fine.I have found out that the band had some very bad fascination for Nazism (prove me wrong,please!),as in the first song from this recording have the vocalist shouting Sieg Heil,and the two letters S in the name probably means the same.If it was for me,I would not put a shit like that on this blog.But there are two reasons I did.The first (less important) is;if satanic bands can be here,so bands like this can-for me it is same shit other cover.But the second,more important is;it was your request,and you know what are your requests for me...

Tracks;
01-Track 1

ARISSE - LIVE IN RIJEKA,CROATIA 1992

GILLAN (UK) - Live in Zagreb 09th June 1981



This post can be described as the turning point of this blog.It has been two years since I ripped a tape to mp3 format the last time.With this one I started again,and there is a lot of stuff waiting to be ripped,thanx to many contributors,and to tapes from my collection that have been put on hold.Now I found an old Marantz cassette recorder in the basement,a line-component that Tusta from KUD Idijoti gave me some 10 years or more ago.I tought all the time that this thing is not working,as he told me to make a small reparation on it..but to my surprise,it works.So all the tapes put on hold will be transferred slowly to mp3,to be posted here.Of course,there won`t be only this kind of recordings,but I assure you that there will be a lot of rare recordings..
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Now back to this post.If you ask me who is for my opinion the best Heavy Metal vocal ever,I will give you this answer without a second of thinking;IAN GILLAN.There are a lot of proofs that he is the best,but I`ll just give you one;Deep Purple`s Made In Japan album.The way he performed Child In Time on that album is simply untoppable.Period.
The recording you have the exclusive opportunity to have on this blog is a recording of a Gillan show in Zagreb from the tour 1981,shown on the Croatian (then Yugoslavian) national television on the New Years night 1982,I remember it like it was yesterday.This is found on a tape with a 26 year old recording ,recorded with a mono cassette recorder leaned on the speaker of the TV.I ripped this recording into mp3 format just before the tape decomposed (figuratively).The recording is still more or less very fair,with some mistakes caused by time.There are short bits that were cancelled and few more bad things that happened to this tape,as;the second part of Bite the bullet and New Orleans were on the b-side of the cassette,which probably passed near a magnet,so the sound is contantly changing from low to high all over again.I tried to fix it,amplified the silent parts,and the result is not that bad.All in all,this is a pure collectors item,and surely a gift for all the fans of this great band.I loved and followed Gillan band,so this is for me like pure gold.I hope it will be for you too.Recommended.

TRIVIA;for those who don`t know;
01-the bass player John McCoy produced one of the Yugoslavia`s top selling Rock album,Mrtva Priroda by Riblja Corba.
02-On this recording,the guitar was played by Bernie Torme.14 days after this concert,Bernie left the band and was replaced with Janick Gers (actual Iron Maiden`s guitarist).



Tracks;
01.Colin Towns piano intro
02.No easy way+Mike Underwood drum solo
03.Trouble
04.No laughing in heaven
05.Unchain your brain
06.If you believe me
07.Bite the bullet (broken)
08.New Orleans

SELECTA EASTRAHMAN (Cro) - Riddims

Now,for something completely different;this is my brother,Chriss aka Selecta Eastrahman,drummer on 40% of the Pula bands you will find on this blog,this time here without drumming but DJ-ing.Actually,I must admit I am not much into this type of music,but as far as I know,this works same as techno DJ`s,only with reggae(just a little) and Jamaican and Afroamerican lyrics.I like this thing,compared to the Metal and Hardcore stuff here very relaxing on one hand,and very danceable on another.Here is a selection (made by me!) of his mixes done in the period between 2003 and 2006.Good luck,bro.

01.Chakra riddim (2005)
02.Cheerful 2 riddim (2006)

GARDENIA - Po prvi put , ep 2003


Gardenia (a band from Pula,of course) was already featured in my blog,but with their previous name Foxxy Lady.After they changed the name,they wanted to do things more professionally,so they made new recordings and a video for Po Prvi Put,and got a permission from Josipa Lisac personally to perform her songs.And all the songs on this EP are Josipa`s covers.
This line-up lasted few years,but then again they changed few members,and the vocalist released a solo album under a monicker Mor Roll.This recording is what left of a great band,which honestly is still performing,but as far as I know with less intensity than before.

Tracks;
01.Po prvi put
02.Oluja
03.Lezaj od suza
04.Ne prepoznajem ga

GARDENIA - PO PRVI PUT , EP 2003

DJECA S GROBLJA (Cro) - Total anti , demo 1994



How to describe it?There`s no info on this band,and it seems like it was just a project from some guys from Slavonski Brod,and they lasted just for a year.But here we`re talking about a high quality Melodic Death Metal,it is a pity that bands like this one end their carreers so early.Anyway,enjoy this one.Contributed by Metalstorm (thanks man!).

DEATH (U.S.A.) - Infernal death , demo 1985

As we are getting close to the 6th anniversary of Chuck`s death (ok,it is an unintentional game of words) , I am posting here one of the greatest demos I have ever heard.Death haven`t had enough money to mix this demo,so it was released unmixed and raw,but for my opinion,even this way it came out perfectly.This is A MUST.

Tracks;
01.Infernal death
02.Baptized in blood
03.Arch angel
