Люцифер - Live at Rock Forum festival 1989

I know literally nothing about this band aside from the trivial fact that the name translates to "Lucifer". What I'm offering here is 5 tracks of Russian black/death/thrash. These guys took a lot of influence from Celtic Frost/Hellhammer and also a bit from early Samael, especially in the slower parts.

Despite being live tracks, the recording on these is actually very good, and I'm glad, because, as far as I know, this is the only recording of these guys, and if it was a super raw unlistenable pile, they might not ever get any recognition, and they're definitely better than that.

I'd love to know more about these guys, so if you have any information let me know.

Холостой Выстрел - Тотальный исход

This is some dark, nasty Russian death metal from the early 90s. Once again, being Russian, this isn't something I have a ton of information on. The band formed in the late 80s, and released 3 recordings: 1 demo in 1990 and another in 1991 and then this LP in 1993. Copies of the LP aren't super hard to come by for a reasonable price if you're patient, but for those of you who don't want to wait months for a copy to show up, I figured I'd post an upload of it here.

Metal from the former Soviet Union still seems to be unexplored territory for a lot of metal heads. It's not easy to digest because most of the information on it is not in English, and it's not super easy to find outside of those countries. I'm certainly not an expert either, but this is definitely one of the true gems of the Russian metal that I've heard.

Крематор - За Чертой

Being that this band is Russian and from a time when Russian music didn't reach the western world, I have no idea what to say about these guys. I know next to nothing about them, know no one who can fill me in, and have a feeling that even if I did, it wouldn't be as interesting as the music these guys made.

Totally ripping death/thrash from 1989.

I'm uploading someone else's rip of this because it's not available without having to use the horrible Russian iFolder service, and who the shit wants to do that?
