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!

oh wow, awsome. thanks. you rule (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

I know you are a big Mercenary fan. Do have the original edition of Everblack or the re-release? I'm looking for the real "Nothing's What It Seems" bonus track from the digipak or reissue in 320 because the Outro is often mislabeled as the bonus track.

I'm huge fan, but tiny CD collector. Will try to find it. Btw, archives states existence of re-release of Everblack in 2006 by Karmageddon Media as remastered edition. But I cannot find any other references of such edition. I wounder what kind of remastering was done.

I edited Mercenary's page on the Metal Archives to its current state but have no idea how the remastered version sounds different to the original. Information is taken from blabbermouth.
And don't go crazy about the bonus track. I have it in VBR v2 only looking to replace my lower bitrate files.

Does anybody have bonus tracks from Sweden Decadence -> http://www.decadence.se/music.htm ?

Hey guys, I've been doing pretty well frm this thread I must admit, Jap/special ed. versions of melodic metal cds were all I used to spend my money on and I've freaking tons of stuff so thought I'd give a lil back, uploaded everything to my itunes at 320kbps, I don't understands all this hrtz crap lol

People wanna make a quick list of what they've got/not got n I'll try giving mediafire a whirl

I saw someone wants Dreamaker bonuses, I've got all those

Dreamaker in real 320 would be great! Nice to see there are real CD collectors in this topic. Hope there will be more like you

Anyone got a link to the new Theocracy album bonuses?

Check the album thread.

How about Dreamaker's "So Far Away From Home". Any chance to get it in real 320 too - mine is 192 only.

Here we have another slimy little scenester worm looking to capitalize off the hard work and goodwill of metalarea posters. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/13.gif)

I don't see them, be sure to point em out

I should have that song, I've also got circus maximus 'silence' from isolate, saw someone asked for that

Also got a bunch japanese bonuses from amaranthe, adagio, after forever, Altaria, angra, aquaria, ark, arwen, balance of power, beautiful sin, bloodbound, brainstorm, cains offering, conception, constancia, dark empire, dark moor, Delaunay, dgm, Dionysus, dragon force , dragonlord, dream tale , dreamland, dream evil, dungeon, ebony ark, edens curse, edenbridge, emerald sun, empires of Eden, empty tremor, essence of sorrow, Epica, excalion, firewind, freedom call, galneryus, gamma ray,harmony , hartmann, heavenly, helloween, hibria, iced earth, jeff loomis, James labrie, jorn, kalmah, kamelot, killing touch, kiuas, kotipelto, labyrinth, LANa lane, last tribe, leverage, lord, lullacry, lunatica, manticora, master plan, nocturnal rites, northern kings, pain of salvation, persuader, place vendome, primal fear, power quest, pyramaze, raintime, rein xeed, rhapsody, saint deamon, secret sphere, serenity, shaman, sikth, silent force, bunch more in the alphabet but I'm running out of space lol

I think I have most of them too but Saint Deamon sounds interesting. Is it possible it's "Pandeamonium (Karaoke Version)" you have? That's the one I miss.

If you're looking for anything yourself, just ask eh :D

*EDIT*
For those who want it, Dreamaker also contributed a cover of "Enjoy The Silence" to the 2008 Depeche Rock Covers Volume 1 compilation:


Note:
If you do a spectral analysis on the Dreamaker song you will see it dropping around 17KHz. That's due to the CD itself being lossy sourced - the files is 320 and not transcoded.

Yea I got that one, I'll upload tomorrow, sleep n work n all that lol.

Wow! Looks great. If you could upload the ones from:

After Forever
Beautiful Sin
Dark Empire
Edenbridge
Empty Tremor
Essence Of Sorrow
Harmony
James Labrie
Last Tribe
Saint Deamon

I will be very glad! ;-)

EDIT: Nvm, found it.

Silent Descent - Mind Tricks Japan bonuses in album's topic.
Btw I've failed with Mercenary - Nothing's What It Seems. I've relied on guy, but he said that CD was lost somewhere on the way to him. (
zYkL0n, upload this song please.
First Shadowdance album - Ageless in releases
Pathfinder - Fifth Element (japan) out on MMT today

From Lo5tProphet list I'm interested in
Adagio - Archangels in Black
Arwen
Bloodbound
Dionysus
Dreamland
Empires Of Eden
Excalion except first album
Killing Touch
Lunatica - Fables & Dreams
Manticora - 8 Deadly Sins

Would be great of you could make Ebony Ark discography using Japanese editions. I mean whole albums, not only bonuses.
About Kiuas. Is WINTER IN JUNE as bonus on Spirit of Ukko the same as on 2004 - Winter In June (EP) or it is re-recorded for album?
Some else bands are mentioned by others.

Hope it wouldn't be too much difficult. We are not hurrying. Also wish to see ending of your list

To make Lo5tProphet's work a little easier
Biomechanical, here goes Dark Empire & Essence Of Sorrow

Wow! Great! thank you! :-)

Track names would be easier but I'd be interested in the following Japan bonuses, if they are 320kbps (!):
(if they are not 320, screw that, I already got 'em. only looking to replace my lower bitrate files)

Lord (only "Silent Jealousy [X Japan Cover]")
Persuader (only "Domination [Pantera Cover]")
Power Quest (only "Find The Way To The Top" and "When I'm Gone (Vocals by Sabine Edelsbacher)")

May I ask for the source of your 320kbps files? Is it your own CDs ripped with iTunes?

Do media fire have an upload limit? I'm on a free service and I don't know if I'm allowed to upload/DL more than 200mb a month? Can't be sure someone let me know, I'll upload everything anyone needs if I'm able.

Yea everything's a cd rip to iTunes except lord - silent jealousy, I found that online n not sure if it's quality it states it is, could very well be.

Btw serenity - dark desire in red, it doesn't exist! I asked the band directly and they said they never released that song on any pressing of the first album, it's a total error that they never got round to correcting, don't think they even recorded it in the end

And kiuas - winter in June is from the ep, they version on spirit if ukko is actually no different I don't think even though they redid a few of the tracks

200MB per file is the limit for non-premium users on MediaFire. no other restrictions. and thanks for clearing up the Serenity issue. gonna fix the Metal Archives page.

I have Persuader - Alight the Heavens in 320, but now I am at work till morning so i can't upload it but here is full album with bonus in 320. Enjoy!

love you (in a non-gay way) \m/

maybe, somebody makes the release?

It's not actual today. It is present here in average quality. Real Persuader fans (like me) already found all albums & bonuses in good quality. Make posts for others just adding bonus about not so famous band is useless. The links will expire with only few downloads. When the band will be about to release new album, then the time will come. Hope they will this year but taking into account abundance of questions about new album and lack of any answers from band I have doubts about it.

Damm I should have picked up on that Mercenary track you were all talking about, I found the reissue with that bonus track on ebay about 4-5 years ago it took a bit to track down, least someone else has put it up anyway ;P

having problems with computer at current I'll try few more uploads this evening















seem to have some problems uploading I'll try more this evening

Another present for you, guys!

I like how it isn't really edited but a different mix. I know that singer. Is it Tony Kakko?

*EDIT*
hmm sounds quite similar to him but, no. Damn I know that guy. Who is it?

Sounds like dude from serenity on bulk the vox but guy in the bridge on both versions with high voice Its either the singer from Pathosray whos now in Eden's curse or when I saw them live it was the Pathosray bassist who sang for Fairyland, he was pretty good

Anyone got Japanese bonus from Emerald Sun's Escape from Twilight album?

Anyone got Japanese bonus from Emerald Sun's Escape from Twilight album?

It's Marco from Pathosray singing higher voice. Verse is certainly sung by Georg from Serenity

Japanese bonus from Emerald Sun's Escape from Twilight album is available only on youtube.
