Gotham City - Live in Umeå 1985 (1985)

I have a 38-min DVD listed as being in Ersbodaskolan, Umeå, Sweden in 1986. Is this the same show, and one of the dates is wrong? Or did they play there both in 85 and 86? The tracklist on my DVD is
1. The Plague
2. Lost in Time
3. Be Aware (only known recorded version of this track)
4. 1995
5. unknown title (only known recorded version of this track)
6. Atlantic Ring
7. Hang On
8. Swords and Chains

Lineup:
Anders Zackrisson - vocals
Mårten Edlund - guitar
Michael Lundholm - guitar
Torbjörn Moen - bass
Lars-Åke Edström - drums

[Strappado]

Ersbodaskolan are not the same gig as "Live in Umeå". I have the Ersbodaskolan DVD to, got it from the guitarist a while ago. He labeled it as 1986 so it was recorded 1 year after the Umeå gig.

Live In Umeå have this tracklist:
1. The Plague
2. 1995
3. Going Insane
4. From a Forgotten Time
5. Fight and Die
6. Atlantic Ring
7. Borderline
8. Swords and Chains

[Thrasharn]

A new band, formed in 2011 (Umeå).

Witches' Coven - Fire Signs (2011)

Check them out here: http://witchescoven.bandcamp.com/ really good band.

[Strappado]

viewtopic.php?f=126&t=1223 they are awesome

[benja1990]

Swedish style's best melodic metal genre!

[breakingthelaw]

Gotham City is a great band, really. When I first heard their single I got chocked, I thought with myself: DAMN! THIS IS EVERYTHING I'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR!. Since then, I periodically check strappado's blog. Then I found Insane, another great band.

Sweden just Rules!

[Cloven_Hoof]

Axe Killers, with the song "Invasion" is what I would like to hear the most. Only heard a short clip from that song. Had it for several years, but never got to hear the entire song :(

[Strappado]

Me to man, me to!
I have contacted the guy who put them up at the Band från Söderhamn website several times!.
Haha I have even offered him $$ for mp3's or a tape/CD-R copy, but no replies so far :(

We should start spamming him with e-mails requesting full songs!

[Strappado]

Ah damn this is cool, I found a member from the band at the mighty FACEBOOK.
Maybe he are kind enough to help out here!

I'll keep you posted.

[CultopaidoGR]

Strappado thanks for this great list!

I don't know very well the swedish scene but some bands like Heavy Load, Axewitch, Parasite, Universe, Arrow, Witch, Sacrifice and Hels are really great!

Did Kjell Peders ever release anything? That live recording from -87 is pretty awesome.

[gammakai]

I love Swedish metal.. Heavy Load, 220 Volt, old Europe, Universe, Silver Mountain were all great bands!

[STONE91]

Last night I dreamed that I found Gotham City- Black Writs in my local record store. Woke up and was gutted that it wasn't real hahah

[Yohanu]

Trip Wire - Demo #1

I am not sure if this was actually distributed (it was my father's band), but i may be able to rip and upload it.

[Strappado]

It would be great if you could rip it Yohanu!
Til' then I am interested in all kinds of info regarding the band..

As Line-up (incl instruments), city, tracklist and release date for their demo / demos(?), photos, etc :)
Thanks in advance!

A live cassette (the one at Medan, Norsjö). There was also a rehersal tape and a live VHS recorded according to Peder.
