Stampij (English translation is Stampede) was a radio show in the early eighties on the Dutch Radio provided by the KRO radio station which was a Catholic station!!! Broadcast-ed only once a week on Wednesdays. It was hosted by Hanneke Kappen, who at one time was the front woman of the Hard Rock band 'White Honey', posted earlier on this blog by Strappado and shared by BE and Lord Bones. As being the DJ of the show she was immortalized in the song 'Hanneka' by Bitches Sin on their album 'Predator'.

This particular show was broadcast-ed on 29 July 1981.

Only one track is eluding me and that is track 12. On a side note: Hanneke had on that day a guy (Frits) in the studio who brought in the compilation album 'Heavy Metal Heroes' and according to Frits this comp was not even out in the UK. And it was already broadcast-ed in Holland! Oooh that comp is posted here. From the comp was played the Grim Reaper track and Bitches Sin.

Thanks to Strappado and Anonymous for additional info!

Rünic - Demos (1988 - 1989)


Artist: Rünic
Release: Remeber / Heros / Dernier Studio, Demos 1988 - 1989
Genre: Hard Rock / Heavy Metal
Country: France (Lyon, Rhône-Alpes)
Bitrate: 192kbps
?Mediafire

Many of you may have noticed a lot of rare french stuff being posted here lately from a user called Hughrunic. Hugh where the drummer of the french band Rünic who where active in the late 80's. Rünic where from Lyon, Rhône-Alpes and released a couple of demos between 1988-1989, I got Hugh's permission to put them up here so you all can check them out. Enjoy!.

Info on Rünic:
Late 1987 in Lyon, The drummer Hugh places an advertisement in the local to seek a band. Franck, bassist (and graphic designer - also the creator of all Runic's artwork/covers), responds. Hugh and Franck begins to form a sound and image for the project. As they both where fans of role playing and heroic fantasy, they opt for a music-style that was heavy and epic. They start looking for guitarists, Janfi and JC arrived shortly thereafter.

In a room of the 9th district of Lyon, Rünic where working several months to develop a directory that would be convincing. Before the summer of 1988, Flo was recruited on vocals and in September Runic performs their first concert in a small space in Lyonnaise. After some time in the studio the band finished their first demo "Remember."


The group would give two more concerts in Lyons in early 1989 before Flo later left the group to be replaced by Paul. Paul was the former drummer of the US band XYZ and had participated in the recording of the group's debut EP. Two concerts of this new formation are given in the fall of 1989 and
a second demo "Heros" are recorded. Unfortunately, changing the singer would be a big change in their music and the original spirit goes away. The band would broke up permanently by the end of 1989. - Written by Hugh (in French!, this is just a translation)

More info about Rünic can be found at their Official Myspace Page.

Country: France
Bitrate: 320kbps
?Mediafire

Hell fuck yes! some damn great french speed metal from an obscure band called "Kröm Thunder", how I love those metal döts, bands using them always seems to turn out to be badass!. Anyway the album was released on cassette only and contains 11 blasting tracks of pure traiditional speed metal in the vein of Vulcain, Motörhead and Tank. Although the album was released in 1995 the band have actually celabrated over 25 years of existence (they were formed in 1983) and you can by far hear that this band still have the 80's running in their veins, no modern 90's production sound here. Hail Kröm Thunder and a very big thank to METALFRANC who ripped and shared this obscure jewel exclusively for the blog, you rule mate!.

Additional Info delivered by metalfranc:
The band was formed in St Denis (region of Paris).

Line-Up:
Yann Querrec : lead vocals / guitars
Ludovic Ranseau : bass / backing vocals
Thierry « Titi » Damgé : drums

This could be one of the worst rock / hard rock compilations to come out from sweden, just look at the crappy band-names, Farfars Bluesband (Grandpas Bluesband)?? I guess that can't be the best name to start a career under. And no Exodus aren't the same as the Exodus who released Bonded by Blood.. I promise you. The actually listenable songs are from Teaterbandet, Rövarbandet and Tvärdrag, their song Satanist are also the only one with good lyrics! Well anyway I got a request to post this compilation so I do! and maybe one or two.. would be interested to hear it. Comes with a inner-sleeve with printed band-info/photos and lyrics.

Some Info about the compilation (taken from the sleeve):
In the autumn of 1979 grew an idea of some social workers in Gothenburg to take advantage of and develop the interest in rock music that existed in many teenagers. Young people are increasingly confronted with problems such as unemployment and drug abuse which leds to passivity and resignation. To enable young people to develop their interest in music is a way to break the passivity and show that it is possible to do something about the situation.

From starting in a local in central Gothenburg, LTSR expanded to include 13 music-locals, about 80 bands and 400 young people which are today with the business. LTSR runs together with Gothenburg, Leisure and Social services. The record LTSR is an attempt to provide a representative sample of the music groups that are involved and play under the slogan "Let A Thousand Stones Roll"
