I like Outlaw the best on Fire Down Under, but Don't Hold Back is great too.

How about...
Cities - Burn Forever
Praying Mantis - Captured City
Manilla Road - The Fires of Mars and The Ram
Pentagram - Madman
Cirith Ungol - Join the Legion
Satan - Ice Man
Rage - Sinister Thinking
Warlord - Lost and Lonely Days
Lethal - Another Day and Obscure the Sky

 

[Fangface]

Villain - Kamikaze
Anthem - Empty Eyes
Sortilège - Délire d'un fou
Attack - Death Rider
Savage Grace - Bound to be Free
Warlord - Soliloquy

@zinescene : I could agree on Piledriver if it was a real band, but sadly it was only a commercial project
how about "Gold n Glory" by Faithful Breath?

 

[TRrEiTxIxRiE DTrash]

Judas Priest - Living Bad Dreams

Not an obscure band obviously but it said obscure songs. And this was never released except now its a bonus track on the Painkiller remaster. One of their best songs ever.

 

[Legionnaire In Hiding]

WASP "B.A.D."
Reverend-"Butcher of Bagdahd"


That's all I can think of right now,have to dig deeper into my collection.

 

[Insania]

Viking - Hellbound
Cirith Ungol -- Blood and Iron?
Krank -- Rented Heat
Redrum -- Power Corrupts (title track)

There are others (like Artch,The Omen) but I don't remember the tracks off hand.

Has anyone been able to copy old tapes and vinyl to a digital format to rip to a CD? I gotta try this before my deck eats the last of some of these bands.

Blood and Iron is a cool song...Atom Smasher is great too. Have you heard their last album, Paradise Lost? Hard to find (it hasn't been reissued as far as I know), but it has some great epic songs on it.

I don't know those other bands, I'll have to add them to my list to check out (if I can find any samples anywhere).

That's a very good idea. Not only do you want to be able to enjoy your music after the cassettes expire, but some of that stuff doesn't have much distribution out there. That makes it difficult for people like me who are rediscovering classic metal to find some of these hidden treasures.

If you have a sound card on your computer, you can hook the line out from a phono or tape deck (or stereo/receiver if you have everything running through that) into the line in on the sound card. Then use some sort of audio program to grab the input. That will most likely store it as a WAV file on your computer. Then you'd have to encode it to MP3, which might even be some other program. I could help you if you're using a unix system, but if you're not, this is about as much help as I can give.

 

[Moonwitch]

1. Wasp B.A.D.
2. Riot don't hold back
3. Viking- hellbound
4. Warlord- Solioquy
5. pentagram Madman

 

[TRrEiTxIxRiE DTrash]

B.A.D. is among my favourite tracks on the first (and my fave) W.A.S.P. album It rules!

"Those teaaaaaaaars that you cry leave a... blood staaaaaaaain.... they fall to the ground like a sweeeet rain..."

Blackie is the greatest!

 

[Electric Savage]

Evil - Son of the Bitch
Legend - Negligence
Jesters Of Destiny - End of Time

Angel Witch - Hades Paradise

[TRrEiTxIxRiE DTrash]

I thought of another...

Motley Crue - Rodeo!

Don't know when it was done, sounds like somewhere between Theater Of Pain and Girls Girls Girls but it is GREAT! Obviously wasn't used coz they didn't want another ballad on the album.

 

[abrasiverock]

Anacrusis-Sound The Alarm

 

[Hawk]

Sucking my love - Diamond head
Stormchild - Tresspass
Strangers on the shore - Bitches sin
Test of will - Power of omens

Satan - Alone in the dock
Tank - Stormtrooper
Sentenced - Bleed in my arms
Chateaux - White Steel
Witchfinder General - Friend's of hell
Anvil - Scenery

I will try to make a top 20 and I will be back.

 

[Psychonaut]

[poundingmetal74]

Sortilège - Délire d'un fou

Absolutely amazing song. The vocals on that song are among the best ever recorded in the 80s metal scene. The singer for Sortilege was among the finest singers in metal. The harmonies in particular are insane. Best song Queensryche never recorded.

I'll add a few:
Z-Lot-Z - The Shadow
Lethal - Programmed
Banshee - We Want You
Edguy - Holy Water
