Gism, Amebix, Death SS, The Accüsed, Holy Moses; these bands definitely need to be recognized for what they did for extreme metal. Black metal particularly
Wow. 😳. I just heard about this demo referenced in another video about the origins of thrash metal. Forget thrash, this is pure black metal. I had no idea this even existed! Thank you, internet! 😉
It was probably the video Who invented thrash metal I just got through watching it jusst now and this was one of the demos and I knew right away this is more Black Metal than Thash maybe the beginning of Black Metal
Their demo before this is called black metal masters , sucks a thrash band like venom gets the credit for coining the term when they were 3 or 4 years late
@Simon Achebe I agree, the extreme unclean vocals were definitely becoming more of a mainstream technique around this time period. Still, it blows my mind that this even predates Bathory by 2 years. & Celtic Frost was still early Hellhammer when Holy Moses recorded this demo. People also forget to include Sodom & Kreator in the evolution of that early black metal sound. These early german extreme metal bands definitely attributed to that harsher, heavier, darker sound we know today as black metal along with the hardcore punk bands of the '70s & '80s of course. For the time period, and the fact that it's a female vocalist, these are pretty damn gnarly & impressive to me compared to other extreme metal bands of the day
For those, who likes this early black metal sound with witchy vocals, there's USA punk metal band Plasmatics with female vocalist Wendy O. Williams, she used all that satanic stuff like pentagrams on the stage, and for example tracks Black Leather Monster and The Damned where you can find dark apocalyptic lyrics, screaming, shreiking and blast beat part and even "ughs" before CF
If you look up death growl in Wikipedia it says that Sabina Classen uses growling vocals in this demo. Some punk groups like The Clash and Plasmatics use growled or gruff sounding vocals.
this was before venom and even sounds more true to the sound of black metal than venom, and its a chick. fake news is strong even in the BM community, glad i randomly found this band
Venom may have coined the term or whatever,but more than them this and Heavy Load might be the earliest things pointing towards true black metal,alongside Dorsâl and Attomica from Latin America ofc.
Dude! How the hell are Heavy Load, Dorsal, and Attomica even remotely close to black metal? HL is a classic HM band, Dorsal is a Crossover band, Attomica is pure thrash. The earliest band that pointed to black metal was Vulcano and early Sepultura. No South American band predates them.
@@ashkenad Oops! We can't forget those guys. The first Colombian extreme metal band and a huge influence on South American metal. Too bad they split-up. I'm not sure how that dude thought that those bands are BM? Its like saying that Priest and Accept were an influence to Grindcore.
@Acid Party From what was posted on the Metal Archives Forums, no one has it. At least no one with internet access, or that cares to share it, lol. Not one single copy has been verified in picture or audio on the internet that I or others have been able to track down. If someone does actually have it, they haven't posted any actual, physical evidence of it besides talking about it in interviews. Basically for all intents and purposes for us.... it doesn't exist.
According to Wikipedia this is the first band ever... I was curious about the origin of harsh vocals in metal. This is supposedly the first recorded instance of the death growl in metal.
@Simon Achebe death ss had one or two rehearsal tracks recorded prior to 1981 and they were just horror rock/metal, nothing to do with black/speed/thrash. On their compilations the years next to track titles actually correspond to the time the songs were composed, not recorded. For example the version of horrible eyes you refer to was not recorded in 1978 but composed that year.
@Simon Achebe Thanks! very interesting stuff, United Mutation never heard them before! by the way even Venom back on their 1979 rehearsal (which was released for first time before a couple years) their first singer was already using harsh vocals on the songs buried alive/raise the dead. Also does the Spk - Slogun song from 1979 count? The vocals at the end of the track become harsh enough I think...
@Simon AchebeFrom early industrial i would recommend these: the legendary slogun track by Spk from 1979: ua-cam.com/video/OZWmYEUoweg/v-deo.html and We hate you little girls by thobbing gristle released in 1979 but recorded in 1976: ua-cam.com/video/AWqNEItowi0/v-deo.html
@@WocklessGamingforAnimeMoms There's nothing thrash metal about them. This came before thrash metal. Those two genres have some musical qualities in common but they're very different
Venoms first album was in 81. But Holy Moses first demo was in 1980 so Holy Moses very well could have been Venom to the punch but Venom gets all the credit
@@hmpz36911 they certainly seem to be the first band to widely distribute an album or EP of the style known as BLACK metal or proto-black metal. This demo wasn’t widely distributed, but it’s damn interesting how some aspects - such as the vocals - are even more ahead of their time than Venom. I love Venom and I think they’re far better than Holy Moses here (although this is good). But it’s interesting seeing little shreds of what would blossom in 84-88 and then fully formulate in the early 90s.
pretty sure this demo is mere myth. it doesn’t exist anywhere on the internet and it is not acknowledged by the band themselves, who surely would capitalize off of creating the term black metal if they could. i could be wrong but until it is posted somewhere, it remains a mystery
@Commander Salamander Black metal masters do not exist, as far as we know the term "Black Metal" was created by the guys from Venom, but there is no proof that the guys from Holy Moses have created a demo with that name, there is no song or image of that demo that proves that in 1980 they created the term before Venom.

There's no blast beats on that song, you are confusing double bass and blast beat.

NO BODY i like both bands but holy moses demo tops venom in terms of black metal sound. They have dry snare and primitive vocals unlike venom.
