This is the same band who had the songs "Fatal War" and "The Strong Will Survive" on the obscure gotland compilation 'Rock Från Havet (1986)'. I don't know if CHALLENGER was from Gotland or if they went there to record these songs.. but one thing is for sure - they are power metal monsters!. Their demo from 1988 are a bit softer though, but still delivers great melodic / heavy metal!. GRAB A BEER AND GET READY FOR CHALLENGER!!!.

Johan Hallberg are still an active musician, doing his own stuff. CHECK IT OUT.

The 1st single from BAKRUS - later known as fORCE. Recorded at Nacksving Studio - 2 september 1979. Photo by U. Nicklasson.

Started in 1979 when Sven, Roland and Kent ran into Bernt "Räven" Sandin with his motorcycle gang. They started to talk music and later began to jam together. BAKRUS played at some of the recreational's and schools, but were a little too rowdy and beer-thirsty for the show-premises. The band split around 1982 as the rehearsals where more focused on beer drinking than playing. Reformed as FORCE in 1983. Sven are today active in the band SMILING HEART, he also have a blog with a lot of information about his music music career: smilingblues.blogspot.com

No cover available, this shown here is made by sanctum. The band was formed in 1985 as POWERSLAVES. Also released a full-lenght album in 1995 entitled "Entrance" and contributed on the 'Norway Rocks' comp.LP in 1988 with the songs "Stay A While" and "Flyin' Away".

A bit of "His Story":
sanctum was on Holiday in Oslo, when he was approached by someone, who ask: "Do you like Metal? Then you might like this:" and gave him a tape. "Well, I'm not into death-metal" "No,no, some people compare us with Fates Warning" and went away. Well unknown stranger, heartfelt thanks for this gift of genius, too bad there wasn't even a contact-adress on the tape, I would 've ordered my own copy. This demo is without doubt among absolut best Progressive Metal Demos of all times. I prefer it even to the later CD "Entrance", because it has the warmer, more organic sound!

Uploader Notes: HIDDEN was a speed metal band from the city Gent in Belgium. They were formed late eighties and released only one demo tape, in the summer of 1990, limited to 300 copies. I used to be their manager at the time. The band only existed for about a year and played about 15 shows, before breaking up. As far as I know, there are no existing live tapes or videos from the band. The only thing that does exist are low quality recordings from rehearsals.

Only a handfull of copies of this record was known, no infos or reviews could be found anywhere,
and this was a really unknown and obscure release, a mystery even to the very few collectors that were aware of it's existence, and was considered to be one of the rarest metal records ever...
The story is that it was privately pressed in 300 copies in 1987 and were about to be distributed by ''Interdealer'' but the factory that pressed this closed down a while after the records pressing, so a big amount of copies were held locked inside the factory's storage rooms for decades. For our sake, a few years ago those copies were found (in the garbage if i'm not mistaken, i assume that someone bought the place and got rid of whatever was inside) so the mystery was solved and these copies became available (they would be lost forever otherwise...). A lot of copies have been sold by that time but i think that every now and then appears a copy for a decent price for anyone that's interrested.
Now to the music... First of all the production is weak (though i came to like it as it sounds very personal, strange and obscure) but i think it is expected as it is a Greek Metal record recorded in 1986/1987 (there were not appropriate equiped studios or specialized producers for a Heavy Hetal recording in Greece by the time, a problem also known in other countries). The band seems to be something like a solo prject of a guy called ''Ramos Alexiou'' that plays all the instruments and is responsible for all the music and the lyrics of the album. Mental Powers deliver Melodic, guitar oriented Metal with great harmonies, progressive/symphonic parts and nice atmospheres.
Generally i like this record but others don't, so i suggest a listen before purchasing.

Tracklist:
01. Throw The Dice
02. Fantasy
03. Thoughts
04. Dream On
05. It's Only You
06. I
07. Something Goes On
08. No One Wants

Great Heavy Metal from Mexico released in 1990 by Discos Y Cintas Denver.
Some Speed Metal extensions and some really nice structured Heavy Metal anthems
(like ''Aunque Las Estrellas Caigan'', ''Noches De Vengaza'', '' La Viuda Negra'' or ''Vida Y Muerte'' with it's amazing intro).
All in all a very good and recomended album.

This local compilation was released in 1982 and featured most notably the pre-PHOENIX band NAGAZAKI. At this point Mårten Sandbarg wasn't a member and Lars Hjelm played the bass + did the vocals. Mårten later joined and took over the bass and the band recorded a private 7" in 1986 entitled 'You Can Be / Nobody'.

Jackie Wulf and the band went into the Record Studio "Zuckerfabrik" in january 1986 to record a single with the songs "Mad House / Shanghai". Ralf Stoney was at the time with TYRAN PACE, which supported URIAH HEEP on their 86 Tour through Switzerland, Austria and Germany. Ralf Stoney persuaded J. Wulf to change his mind and instead of producing a single make a MLP. Ralf and Jackie wrote most of the songs on "Metal Wings". Bass-player Mick Shirley (known from OVERKILL, BEAST OF PREY and SINNER) wrote "Unforgiven".

The Songs was recorded in Autum 86 at the Recordingstudio "Synthon Esslingen". The studio belonged to the publisher of the label "Sound of Future". Sound of Future liked what he heard and gave Jackie an exklusive record contract telling him they want to record a complete record. Ralf and Jackie writes four new songs and try to record them in 3 days. They fail and the songs are not complete when they leave the studio. They try again and at another studio in Stuttgart. But when the band came to record, the doors where closed and the date was canceld. The reason was, that the Studio owners "dog" had died. The band finds a new studio; Tukan at Kornwestheim. The recording started on tuesday at the spring of 1988 and the record is finished shortly after. It's pressed in 5000 copies and sold worldwide. - http://www.myspace.com/jackiewulfband
