Share by templarsteel, thanks mate!!.

Uploader Notes: This is a semi-official Product ! In 1999 / 2000, Roberto "Drake" Borrelli proposed this CDR with their Demo 1984, their Unreleased LP 1985 + "Firecult" & "Wings of Death" Tx on it.

Of course, main of those Tracks have been re-recorded for the "Thunder of War" CD 2004 but THOSE are the ORIGINALS from 1985 !! Those recordings are available absolutely NOWHERE and so, it is a present for you, Metal rarities Forum members, for your participations and for having let me know some fantastic metal jewels on all of this year ..

Thank you to all ! A special thank for Strappado, our boss, who brings always great swedish Stuff, to the mighty Greek Legion (Achilles, Jasonkont, Fanis, Demonhellrogues) without forgetting Cyprus (Hi Sacreddeath !), and finally Metalhunter, Malinku, Witchcross, Boring Oldfart, Hobgoblin, Steeler for those great Japanese rarities, and so on ...

Uploader Notes: I recorded this soundboard bootleg (very good quality,IMHO!)with the kind permission of the band itself, as a longtime friend and fan of DQ this is one of my greatest satisfactions, the recording took place on the day of the official release of their fifth album "Symbols"; DQ headlined the festival,there were also bands as Skanners(i taped them too),Crying Steel etc.

I connected my minidisc to the mixer,then burned the recording to audio cd (Wav) and
now in mp3-320kbps,i also included some pics from that night in the rar,enjoy!!!

Uploader Notes: Hi Guys !!
In some of my posts, some of you have read me talking about an obscure Brazilian Band called HAGGAR ! It was, by his time, even requested by Westrogoth, and I say here all my apologies as I just have discovered this request now !! So here is this Demo, in an fuckin' EPIC HEAVY METAL Style in the pure Vein of early WARLORD (US) / OMEN (US) / MANOWAR !! I find this demo amazing and still is one of my favourite Demo of all times !!

The most incredible is THAT IT DOES'NT EXIST a single information about this Band on the net !! A guy took the credit on Metal-Archives for having listed in the site, just because I have uploaded this Demo on Thrashmageddon site some years ago ! Even few other guys who had this Demo on tape before had it by myself in a way or another when I was into tape-trading stuff between 1989 - 1996 !!

Here is the story :
In 1995, Jens BÖRNER (LONEWOLF's Leader - I was the manager of the Band from 1990 to 1994) lend me this tape to burn it for myself. He himself has exchanged the tape against 1 copy of LONEWOLF's "The Calling" Demo 1993. From the very 1st listening, I was amazed by this EPIC feeling although some low production. There is passion for Heavy Metal in this tape ! Still now, I still remind Jens of this Tape and say "do you remember this amazing Band ?" He told me he lost the original tape in a move .. The only thing I remember is that the cover was in black / white with a Warrior with an Axe in his hand. Probably, the band itself doesn't remember this undiscovered Jewel ... !!

Enjoy Metal Brothers !! I Have tons of RARE and undiscovered Jewels for you. / Templarsteel

Uploader Notes by Nonseinormale65 aka Marcone L'urlatore: The photo shows Me and Mark Shelton at KIT before MR's gig while giving him the copy of MR live at Play It Loud festival(2008-02-23) i taped in Orzinuovi(Brescia,Italy).

I taped the show with my portable minidisc,bitrate is 320 kbp,please note that i did not split the tracks,the sound in not so good as some of my others bootlegs(i'll post some of them sooner or later),i think this can be rated as 5 or 6 on a ten scale,but if you are a MANILLA ROAD fan don't miss this one,there are very few MR bootlegs floating around (i also taped MR at Play It Loud festival 2008 here in Italy,it was so good that Mark Shelton himself used four tracks as bonus for the double lp version of "Voyager", hope one day he will authorize me to share it)!

I also added some pics in the rar,enjoy!!!

Mark"The Shark"Shelton - Guitar and vocals
