Any of you fellow Metal Area users into collecting bonus tracks? Then this thread may be the place for you.

Don't expect me to able to fulfil every of your request but Metal Area has thousands of registered users so I'm sure others are willing to help too.
We could use this thread for exchange and finding all kind of rare recordings, simply stuff hard to come by.

Feel free to post you own request list here. Happy hunting!

You're mixing the both tracks, licas33.

That's what I said:

I'm not blaming you for trading us pig in a poke. But the used codec is awful. When I say 320 I mean mp3 of highest quality (lame + correct options). So just not to confuse others lets call "320" only properly done lame. When spectrum falls tremendously above 16 kHz I can't call it good quality even if that codec states it is 320.

So we just need to find both japanese editions

You're perfectly right.
Think about it why lame is the leading codec, used not only by scene releasers for about 10 years now but for almost every decent audio tool and software (exception: WMP and iTunes). FhG comes with shitty Microsoft and they don't even bother to work on that codec.

Sorry for Wuthering Heights in FhG but, as I don't listen to them, the track is not my rip just coming from someone I know and trust. Will have to tell him to use lame in the future like I suggest to everyone on this forum to always use a software that has the lame codec involved for ripping your CDs.

*EDIT*
As I understand, licas33 has "River Of Love". Go for an upload mate!

On a side note, compare the both Japan bonus tracks from "Borealis - Fall From Grace" to the rest of the album... wow @ the sound discrepancy.

Shit happens, but Borealis is exceptional case - such a fail for japanese edition is surprising. The same with Neverland - Reversing Time (limited edition)

It's 2012 and Lossless almost being the most famous audio format by now (thank God). It's only natural people want their tunes in the best quality possible... I love music and play it on an expensive HiFi with big speakers. If you enjoy your music being webrips, fine. I don't.

Ask if interested
At Vance - No Escape japan
Angra - Holy Land japan
Dark Moor - Tarot korea
Kamelot - The Fourth Legacy japan
KENZINER - The Prophecies japan
Skyfire - Spectral korea
Wisdom - Judas usa with bonus

Interested in Dark Moor, Kenziner and Skyfire.
Are they in 320? I got them all in VBR (only).

All cd-rips. I have them is lossless but it's not my CDs so I have permission to spread them only in mp3. Will upload them in the evening

ok great.

The past weeks I spent alot of time going through compilations and found a few tracks that differ to the album version.
Are you interested in edit versions, single versions, rough mixes and such?

*EDIT*
non-faded tracks :D

If they are not "early faded" - yes.

Is it possible anyone has the following Japan bonus tracks (I know you do licas33 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/15.gif) )

Cydonia - The King (Different Version)
Masterstroke - Convicted
Silent Force - Say My Name
Vanishing Point - The Veil Of Deceit

Will love you long time!

Yes, I will send you the link in a few moments ;-)

here it is: http://www.mediafire.com/#r7pwp7otib6ks[hide][/hide]

oh fantastic!
You mind having a look into the link again please. I think the URL is wrong, at least it's not working for me.

(and simply put [hide] before the link and [./hide] behind, without the dot)

Sent you a PM

Thanks

sorry guys ,
really can't get what you are saying for the link ! why won't you simply use the classic mediafire way ? what is all these with [hide] before and after the link ?!

RTFM

You just need to place ? after .com/ before file code. Or replace any non-letter, non-number symbol. In your case, licas33 need to replace # with ?. That's mediafire syntax

I know it's not really a bonus track but does anyone have the latest Violent Storm digital single "Back Against The Wall".

My list is considerably shorter now thanks to this thread:

ADRENALINE MOB - The Mob Rules - Omertб Japanese bonus
DEMONIC RESURRECTION - Demonstealer - full-length album
GAMMA RAY - To The Metal (Demo) - To The Metal collector's edition 7" vinyl bonus
KEEP OF KALESSIN - The Divine Land (2011 Edit) - single
KEEP OF KALESSIN - The Dragontower (Edit) - single
MEGADETH - Head Crusher (Live) - Th1rt3en iTunes pre-order bonus
SATAN'S HOST - Archidoxes Of Evil - full-length album

(I removed some songs from my list that already appear on zYkL0n's list + few songs/releases from bands I don't care about anymore)

Primal Fear - Born Again (Acoustic Version) 320 kbps

Gaia Epicus - Warrior [Helloween Cover]

Does anybody have Lost in Thought - I Bleed Alone from 2008 self-titled EP?

God bless you!

Do you happen to have the full Tribute album because I'd be interested in that Armory version too. Looks like Signum Regis skipped their participation.

*EDIT*
yea, I just did a little research. thanks for the hint.

You can search and find it on shitty hostings like deposit etc.
NightProwler666, according to this preview The Mob Rules as japan bonus is the same as on 2011 - Adrenaline Mob (EP)

I didn't know if this Circus Maximus Japanese bonus tracks are already present here and if is in the same quality but that's the only one that I've found

Marion (bonus track for The 1st Chapter) 128kbps
Silence (bonus track for Isolate) 256kbps

"Silence" is the same we already got - a webrip and listed above as such.
"Marion" seems to be a proper CD rip but is in 128kbps only (still better than the previous 128kbps webrip which was also longer by around 40 seconds).

Thanks anyway! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile1.gif)

Does anybody have japan bonuses for Silent Force The Empire of Future & Infatuator?

Paradox - Timegrain

Need Electrify japan bonus Good Morning in 320?

Greatest thread ever!! zYkL0n, could you please re-upload Wuthering Heights - Salt? Link is dead.

I'm currently looking for the following songs (if possible @320):

Domine - Queen Of The Reich (Queensryche Cover)
Hibria - I Feel No Bliss (Acoustic Version)
Last Tribe - Blessed By The Dark
Wuthering Heights - Midnight Song
Wuthering Heights - Shadow Of A Gipsy (Ache Cover)
Tim "Ripper" Owens - A Challenge (I REALLY want this one!)

I have a couple hard-to-find (at least to me) bonus tracks, just in case anyone wants them:

Ride The Sky - Make The Spirit Burn
Ride The Sky - Trail Of Fame
Burning Point - The One (Acoustic)
Iced Earth - A Charge To Keep (Matt Barlow Version)

All in 320 except for The One, which is VBR.

Mediafire

Wuthering Heights - Shadow Of A Gipsy (Ache Cover) VBR
Hibria - I Feel No Bliss (Acoustic Version) webrip 128

---

Here you go mate (lossless rips in 320):
