bonus tracks, (rare recordings) Options

[zYkL0n]

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.

I've gathered quite a list of songs (studio versions only, no live recordings) over the years that I'm looking for:

From Powerwolf's Facebook:
The time has come to reveal a surprise:
After four Studio albums and countless live celebrations, the time has finally come for a POWERWOLF LIVE ALBUM to be unleashed upon you. The album featuring 10 songs will be entitled "ALIVE IN THE NIGHT", and will be exclusively released with the April issue of METAL HAMMER Germany, out on March 14th (the album will ONLY be available with Metal hammer, so make sure to get your issue). More details will be revealed soon, for now, hereґs the cover artwork, created by Matthew.

zYkL0n, we hope you will make us all happy with this release.

[SlaveToMetal]

Anyone have "Cumpãna" by Negură Bunget?

It comes off the vinyl release of their 2010 album "Vîrstele Pămîntului" and is also included on the "Better Undead Than Alive 2" compilation.

[Angren]

If you are really from USA, I can't understand why you need to ask for it. "Better Undead Than Alive 2" is selling on iTunes and you can simply buy it there. It is here in Russia, where neither iTunes, nor Amazon as well as spotify and many other services doesn't work we have to search hard for bonus tracks like this. Or $0.99 is too high price for 1 song, if you do want it? Just explain it to me.

[zYkL0n]

Since I'm not a subscriber to Metal Hammer, I guess one of the scene groups will be faster (OMA probably).
If there's more people interested in that Powerwolf live album I'm going to buy the 04/2012 issue so I can do a lossless rip.

You're on a forum where thousands of people from various parts of the world are posting, downloading and requesting plenty of music that is readily available from iTunes or one of many numerous other similar sources and you want me to explain why I want a certain track without having to go through iTunes or something similar? Really? Are you honestly that short-sighted? If you have the track, provide it. If you don't have it or do and don't want to provide it then piss off with your questions and holier than thou attitude. I really don't care how hard you have to search for your bonus tracks...I'm requesting what I need same as anyone else on this forum.

[Angren]

Oh, I see. You shouldn't write that much because your behavior is described by only 1 word - ignorance. If I had so much options to get music legally like you do I would never post messages here. You are simply disrespecting musicians work

[SlaveToMetal]

That's rich...you're on a board that is for the sole purpose of downloading music (the majority of it illegally) and you're trying to preach morality.

Take your holier than thou attitude elsewhere and maybe find someone who cares as it makes no difference to me...you've proven nothing except that you are the ignorant one here.

[Angren]

zYkL0n, if you will found anything yourself don't hesitate to inform us - we are also interested!
Do you have The Knife (Genesis cover) by Dark Empire?

The promo videos of Blind Guardian's album At the Edge of Time features Wheel Of Time (demo). Does anybody know if it was released officially anywhere?

[zYkL0n]

sorry for the wait.
I didn't get anything new the past weeks but got the feeling the list is growing longer instead of shrinking.

I used to have that Dark Empire cover. I remember the quality was horrid and instantly deleted it. Later I got told it was the real CD version I had - now I can't find it back :/

*EDIT*
Nightrage - Photograph was released last year on the 25th of december as "Nightrage-Insidious-Korean.Import-2011-EOS.rar (134.63 MB)" --> (16-nightrage-photograph-eos (8 MB)) but both links, filesonic and fileserve, are dead.

[kranium]

Hi guys, Does anyone have the bonus tracks of the collectors edition from the album Elysium of Stratovarius?, Wherever i find them they always are youtube rips in bad quality.

[Angren]

Does anybody have Disdain - 2007 - Leave This World (EP)

[NightProwler666]

According to Wikipedia and Metal Archives, there are two versions of Twin Flames - regular one and soundtrack one.

[Angren]

Nightrage - Photograph (Def Leppard cover)

Register

I always thought, that people like komhs, for example, with many releases are close to scene. So it's strange that you are searching for song, that was released. I was never into scene, but spend a few hours and was able to discover it

[zYkL0n]

I see my above information did help :D
Thanks a lot mate. Alot better than the youtube rip!

[Angren]

MEGADETH - Head Crusher (Live) isn't the same as Megadeth - Head Crusher from The Big 4: Live from Sofia, Bulgaria?
This Godless Endeavor Japanese bonuses

[NightProwler666]

Does anybody have NEVERMORE - The Purist's Drug (The Obsidian Conspiracy bonus) in MP3 @ 320 KBPS or lossless? If not, what's the highest quality available of that song?

[zYkL0n]

As written in topic, youtube only (~128kbps)
I have seen 192kbps versions over the internet but they are all transcodes.

Japanese edition of ReinXeed's Swedish Hitz Goes Metal comes with a bonus track:
15. Hooked On A Feeling [Roxette Cover]

Anyone got that by luck?

[komhs]

When hosters like filesonic, megaupload etc make so big damage and must reupload so many down links you dont have time to make good search!

[zYkL0n]

Anyone happen to have the Skeletonwitch 7" series from Prosthetic Records:

- At One With The Shadows / Bringers Of Death 7" (2010)
- The Skullsplitter / No Rest For The Dead 7" (2011)
- Onward To Battle / The Infernal Resurrection 7" (2011)

All of them include re-recorded versions from their "At One With The Shadows" debut.
