Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In 1984, Noise Records released a compilation simply called "Death Metal". It featured four bands. Which of these bands wasn't on the compilation?

It also featured Running Wild. Hellhammer went on to become the great Celtic Frost. Hardware was on Steamhammer Records in Germany. The original cover was recalled and replaced with a more boring one in red with "Death Metal" written across it in black.

Answer: Avalanche

The band's second, "Sloppy Seconds", was on Halcyon.

3. Which of these releases is not a Heavy Load album?

Answer: Death Conquers

Their fourth album was "Stronger Than Evil". They were a Swedish act that never achieved much acclaim in the States.

4. In 1982, which of these compilations was the first to feature Mercyful Fate?

Answer: Metallic Storm

Their first ever recordings. It was put out by Ebony Records.

6. The first Running Wild recordings were on which 1982 compilation?

Answer: Debut No. 1

Released on Raubbau Records. Only 1,000 were pressed, making it rather collectable now.

Answer: Witchery Spellbinders

This came out in 1975, even before the original Aussie release of "High Voltage".

11. The first Motorhead album, lovingly titled "Motorhead", was released on which label?

Answer: Chiswick

Bronze released a bunch of other stuff for Motorhead, as did Big Beat (early EPs and a '91 reissue of the first album). The Chiswick release was interesting because most had a black and white sleeve, but 600 were released in a silver sleeve and 10,000 copies were pressed on white vinyl.

Answer: Manilla Road

These were released in 1980, 1982, and 1986, respectively.

15. What is the only band ever to sign to Megaforce Records who had an album out in the '60s?

Answer: Blue Cheer

"The Beast is Back" was released in 1984. Unfortunately, not too many people seemed to care. Hawkwind released a few albums on Roadracer in the '90s, but their first LP wasn't out until 1970.
