Belial was a Finnish Black / Death metal band founded in Oulu in 1991.
Discography :
Rehearsal ( Demo, 1991 )
The Gods of the Pit ( Demo, 1991 )
Wisdom of Darkness ( EP, 1992 )
The Gods of the Pit pt. II (Paragon So Below) ( EP,1993)
Never Again (Full-length, 1993)
Aftertaste (Single, 1994)
Aftertaste 1 1/2 (Single, 1994)
3 (Full-length, 1995)
The original "Gods of the Pit" demo tape sold out the entire pressing of 500 copies and gave the band cult status in the underground. This resulted in the re-release of the demo, entitled "Gods of the Pit pt.2 (Paragon So Below)". However, the re-release and the original demo are two different items, as they have different tracklists, with the exception of the first two tracks.
After their first full-length "Never Again" and the loss of their guitarist Jukka Valppu, who continued with another Black / Death metal band called Mythos, the band headed for musical style, best described as progressive / gothic punk rock.
Since Belial, the members of the band have also worked in countless other extreme metal projects such as Impaled Nazarene, Torture Pulse and Survivors Zero.
This song is from their first full-length "Never Again" of 1993

![Hard Rock Sallinen - Heavy Metal Symphony
Have you ever wondered, where did the Finnish Metal start its glorious voyage ?
Hard Rock Sallinen was founded 1975 in Kauhava, and was probably the first Metal band in Finland ( Music had lots of Hard rock tendencies though ) [Sarcofagus was first Finnish Metal band to record in 79]. Hard Rock Sallinen recorded Lets make love/Solong my friend Single in 1980 through Rockit and Heavy Metal Symphony full-length in 1982, through Zero label. Band also recorded live albums in Rock Rallye 77 and Provinssi Rock 80.
The band didnt apparently have such a big influence to the finnish audience back then and after Hard Rock Sallinen came to its end after their full-length, the bands members did not continue with any new projects. Still this band can be considered as the first milestone in the Heavy Metal History of Finland.
This song is the title and opening track of their 1982s Heavy Metal Symphony Hard Rock Sallinen - Heavy Metal Symphony](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/inrsiKS88P4/mqdefault.jpg)
