Okay, so yesterday I'm walking down the road trying not to slip on the ice that is hidden by the snow... and I decide to take a path throw a field I normally don't, to cut some time off my journey. Over half way into the field I come across a CD jewel case laying on the snow. There are many other foot prints besides mine, so obviously someone has dropped this, but no one is around. I pick it up and flip it over it has 2 CDs in the case, but no paper booklet. The name on the CDs is "Mayhem Metal"... and what luck, the name of each song and artist is printed on the CDs. Seems to be some sort of compilation. Without the booklet, I can't seem to find any copyright date, nor recording studio, distribution company... nothing. I'm hoping by posting the info about the CDs, that someone out there knows more about these CDs, and can fill me in.
Here is whats on CD 1: Goodbye Thrill - Ticket To Paradise Air Raid - Nowhere Without Your Love Bootleg - No More Runnin Delerious - Heart On Fire Lec Zorn - Long Time Coming Shanghai - Big And Sleazy D Drive - A Little Bitta Sunshine Sonic X - Crawl Miss Crazy - So Long Smash Alley - Fire Wretch - Make This Garden Burn JK Northrup - Wired In My Skin Voodoo Moonshine - Locked And Loaded Ronnie Borchert - Take Me Away Cheater - Don't Give Up Eternal Legacy - Shadow Of Revolution Smoking Bird - Cool Ass Adriangale - Feel The Fire American Angel - Turns To Grey Kidd Blue - Restless Eyes
CD 2: Jesse Damon - Cry Out Loud Skin Kandy - Feeling the Sun Snakeryder - Hard Life Bombay Black - Who Do You Think you Are Ted Poley - End Game Mirror Mirror - The Bitter End Amsterdam - Not The Only One Backwash - Crash XYZ - Wild Megattack - Attomatton Demon Angel - Moving On Babylon A.D. - I'm No Good For You Lost Weekend - Forever Moving On Riot - Knocking At My Door Bonesmen, The - Guilty As Sin Cannon - Hellfire Wind Wraith - Bloodbath Quite Riot - Free Ruffians - Running Blind Violent Divine - Lets Go
Most of the songs seem pretty okay... but not overly hard edged. Only a handful of the bands do I recognize.
Yes, I did rip the CDs, just incase any of you are interested in hearing some of the songs.
i see that XYZ is one of the bands on there... terry the singer and i have talked thru myspace before. nice dude... find his myspace and shoot him a message. hell you might be able to do that with almost any band on there.
Hmmm... for some reason writing to the bands themselves never ran across my brain. Thanks berube!
I recognized the more heard of bands like XYZ, Babylon A.D. and Quite Riot. Even have some CDs from the bands: Goodbye Thrill, Bombay Black, and Riot. So interesting CDs that have a few big name bands, a few lesser known bands, and now with Ivans help, I know probably the others like Violent Divine are Unsigned?
Makes me really curious to know when these CDs where made.
I now thought I had gotten ahold of every CD from Quite Riot, and this song on the compilation isn't on any of Quite Riots CDs that I own. Anyone know if this song is on any of their CDs? If so, which one? I seem to be missing it.
I think it's a homebrew. Check out the Metal Mayhem website. http://www.metalmayhem.com/ The homepage has a list of their featured albums, each with a free mp3. The free mp3s match up to the songs on the CDs you found.
I should scan the CDs so you can see it, the print looks professional on it. But atleast this explains why there isn't any other info on the CDs, and why there was no booklet.
Damn... its a bootleg... I thought I had something really rare.
