East-European metal

How're your thoughts on bands like Pokolgep, Rotor, Turbo, Ossian, Aria etc? I don't know many bands from here, but they are great imho. Especially Aria - Play with Fire and Pokolgep released some masterpieces (especially the first ones) as well.
Any further recommendations on bands like these?PS I know some are from Russia but..who cares

there is also a band called Karthago that had some good albums (and some very bad ones too) ...don't ask names, titles were in Hungarian I believe so I don't remember them. I also had an album of Cintron (Poland I think) , sounded very Iron Maiden -like. Another one is P-mobil ... (all of these are 80's)

Karthago is harder to find

Try Stimulans from Croatia http://www.truemetal.org/stimulans/

Great old school rock in the 21st century

Also STOS from Poland, thrash with female vocals. I doubt their album is available but I have it d/l complete in SoulSeek if anyone wants it

Pokolgep released some masterpieces (especially the first ones)

Rules !
I like Hungarian vinyl - it looks different...

Try Czech TITANIC 'Metal Celebration'.

Thanks for the promotion, Wyv...
People, if you want to hear 80s Croatian bands, go to http://crometal.cjb.net, there's a short history and a Download page with mp3s as well.

You could check out Ultimatum as well, a band whose recording I produced recently. It's a newer band, but they are totally 80s (I hope the sound carries the same feel), you can download 2 of their songs at:

Although they like to force "hard rock" to describe themselves, they are plain ole heavy metal to me...

Please let me know what you think of these bands.

Hawk brought the new(er) band Mechanical Poet from Russia to my attention, very well worth to check out if you wanna hear something different and progmetal related. Great music and very good vocals. Check out some MP3's on their website:

Hardly... The LPs reach ridiculous prices sometimes...
I'm just listening to Pokolgep's "Metal az Esz" and it kicks major ass!!!
