SCANDO & EURO STEEL : Vol 4 - 84 - 86

Hello again, hope you all managed to squeeze as much fun as possible out of your Christmases, and now that the big day is over i suspect you'll be looking for something to chase away the winter blues. Well folks, i'm glad to oblige with seven shiny black circles of Swedish steel from days of yore, and one from Finland too!
This time around, we span the years 1984 - 1986 to conclude our collection of Scandinavian and European 7"s, EPs and demos.
Tonight's "big" names are OZ, AXEWITCH and HEAVY LOAD, but make sure you take the time to get acquainted with MANINNYA BLADE, WARNING, HELS, MANIAC, FAITH and GOTHAM CITY too, just because you may be unfamiliar with them is no reason not to take the opportunity to check them all out.
I tell you this, i'm prepared to bet that you'll be glad you did!
Although this is the end of this particular musical excursion for the moment, fear not, because next time out we'll be delving into more vintage European and Scandinavian Heavy Metal, but we'll be focusing on the full length albums and Mini LPs from that scene.
Lots of awesome material up my sleeve for that, so stay tuned to STILL ALIVE & WELL for your vintage rawk needs.
Have a great New Year people and i hope to see you back here in 2009 for more of the same.

SCANDO & EURO STEEL : Vol 3 - 83 - 84

Howdy folks, yep, it's that time again!
For your aural delectation and titillation this evening, we are proud to present part 3 of our ongoing Scandinavian/European Metal collection.
Here are some great 45s, Demos and EPs from Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Holland and Italy all released between the years of 1983 and 1984.
The "name" bands this time would be SYRON VANES, PAUL CHAIN and WITCHCROSS, but don't make the mistake of just going for what you know. Dig in and get yourself acquainted with the more obscure items too, have a taste of HIROSHIMA, a sampling of SWORD, a snifter of STITCH, a tot of HAMMERHEAD, a measure of LEZLIE PAICE, a plate full of RENEGADE, or snack on Airborne. I'm sure you'll find them all nice'n'tasty. Filling too.
To The Devil To Pay, thanks very much for your offer to u/l the Winterhawk albums, that'd make my week mate! If you could just put the links in the comments section here, i'll get them that way. And thanks again, it's really appreciated!

SCANDO & EURO STEEL : Vol 2 - 82 - 83

Here we go again boys & girls, more Metallic treasures plucked from the depths of obscurity to shine like diamonds in the bright light of a new day. Or something like that.
Eight more Scandinavian or European Heavy Metal 45's, EP's or demos released between the years of 1982 and 1983.
Again, as in the first part of the post, most of tonight's selection comes from Sweden, with a nice one from The Netherlands to represent the rest of Europe. If you've heard of any of these bands it'll likely be HEAVY LOAD or AXE WITCH, both of whom are awesome, but take the time please to get acquainted with the likes of GOTHAM CITY, GRAVE et al too, you'll be glad you did! Enjoy!!
Apart from you, "Bounded By Metal", you can go fuck yourself, you link thieving piece of shit.
