The parties came to a settlement, with Danzig accepting thirty hours of studio time for his band in exchange for the rights to the Blank Records name.
Metal Compilation With Hades, The Beast, Tortured Dog, Sneak Attack from Megaforce 1984
Born To Metalize is a compilation issued in the very early days of Megaforce; it had a bunch of bands that never really did anything; perhaps the biggest of these obscure metal bands was Hades, which would later sign with Combat Records. I’m not sure what happened to the rest.

Cirith Ungol A Metal Band That Could Have Been Big: Why Didn’t They Remain Obscure?
Cirith Ungol was lucky and hailed Ventura, California which was home to Metal Blade Records in 1988. If you’re like me, you might remember the old days, (before the Internet) when you made decisions about what albums you were going to buy by the artwork. That is how I accidentally bought a lot of Molly Hatchet and Nazareth albums.
Whoops!
Such is the case with Cirith Ungol. Now that I listen to it, it’s actually pretty good. At the time, I only like really heavy thrash or black metal bands. Hands the recent resurgence in the popularity of this Cirith Ungol! Listen for yourself, but first for a few facts.
Cirth Ungol Where Are They Now?
The band broke up in 1992, citing frustrations with their record label.
In 2001, Metal Blade released in “Germany Servants of Chaos”, a compilation of unreleased demos and live songs.
Founding guitarist Jerry Fogle died from liver failure on August 20, 1998. RIP
Lindstrom now plays with Falcon, who perform some Cirith Ungol songs

Type O Negative Slow, Deep, and Hard – (First Album 1991)
Type O Negative released their first album in 1991. The band is fronted by Peter Steele from Type O Negative. Slow Deep And Hard came out in 1991 on Roadrunner Records.
Here are some random Peter Steele facts you probably don’t know:
Slow, Deep, and Hard is a self-financed demo that was supposed to be the 3rd Carnivore album.
Roadrunner Records would not bind Peter to a 5 album deal he had signed as the songwriter for Carnivore. He was not allowed to shop for Type O Negative or other labels. This is why the demo Repulsion/Carnivore became the first album.
Peter Steele worked for the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation until he was 29 and began touring with Type O in 1994.
Type O Negative’s first out-of-town show was in Atlanta, GA.A College radio show (Wreckage) paid to fly Peter up the day of the show so he wouldn’t miss work.
Peter Steele claimed that posing for Playgirl was nothing more than a publicity stunt. When bandmate Josh showed him the statistic that 74% of Playgirl readers were men, he said it is “something he regrets”.
Peter Steele wrote the lyrics for Agnostic Front’s “Cause For Alarm ” album.
