looking for old obscure death metal band???

[speffigy]

ok so, this is my first time posting in a forum like this, but im searching for an old death metal band from ireland.

my friend has mentioned that her dad used to be in a death metal band when he was 17-18 (so around 1998-1999), called subterror. it was a really small band, and they only ever had one gig, but i want to see if somebody knows or remembers seeing them.

they had a drummer, 2 guitarists, a bassist, and a lead singer. the lead singer had ginger hair down to his hips. they had a demo for a cover, and 2 originals, one of which was called "disfigurement". the gig was held at a festival in maynooth, kildare, and the lead singer was drunk during the performance. after the gig, one of the lead singers friend's dads came over and told him off for having bad language.

whenever i try and look them up, all i get is stuff for another, much more recent band by the same name. if anybody here went to the gig, or even knows what im talking about, it would be greatly appreciated! =D

Hmmm. You're going to have a hell of a time tracking down anybody who might have been at one specific show and saw one specific band back in '99. Honestly, you should probably (with your friend's permission of course) try to contact your friends dad via the usual social media networks. It's just not very likely that any given forum might have somebody who there in that place at that specific time and sees your post. Good luck with the sleuthing though.

A band with one single 3-song demo, that probably never got released outside of the town it was created in, from roughly 25 years ago? Unfortunately, you're essentially talking about a glorified garage band, and trying to find anyone who just happened to be at the right place at the right time, for that one gig, is going to be like finding a needle in a haystack. You'd be better off trying to find out which town the band was from and maybe talking to some of the locals...and even that would be a longshot

I looked them up on Metal Archives and all I got was a Brazillian band that was around in 2009-17.

Talk about a needle in a haystack.
