I miss John Peel a lot. He was a total legend and I feel so fortunate to have been part of the Peel Sessions history. There are not many people who you can say changed your life, but for me John Peel is definitely one of them. A...

...we actually recorded an earlier version in Florida during the summer of '86 that came out so shitty sound-wise, that Combat wrote it off as a mistake and sent us to Los Angeles to do it right. I almost wish I had kept my cassette of the old...
This month in 1996 KATATONIA were in Finspång, Sweden at Dan Swanö's Unisound to record their classic dark doom album Brave Murder Day. KATATONIA had used Unisound for previous releases: Dance of December Souls, For Funerals to Come... and others. After Brave Murder Day they began recording at...
The key to the real heaviness was getting the two guitar attack going. The first demo was a great start, but we of course wanted things to be more brutal and saw to it that we made that happen. Song-wise, there's not any difference on the first demo,...
It's a real good album, I like it a lot. It represents two years and we've grown a lot. We've learned a lot about songwriting, what works and what doesn't and how it all comes together in the studio. I'm real happy with it, it's a nice solid...
HYPOCRITE spent two days at Sunlight Studio recording their first demo Ruler of the Dark in June 1991. The day after they finished, GRAVE arrived to record their debut LP, Into the Grave. The band had moved from Visby, Gotland to Stockholm that January. For Your God Recording...
This day in 1993 was the last of two BLASPHEREION spent in Hautregard Recording Studio, Liège - Belgium. The three tracks recorded became their self-titled demo. This came after their 1991 LP Rest in Peace (a very early Osmose title). BLASPHEREION was formed out of MORBID DEATH (86-91)....

UPDATE: Many thanks to Mark LaVenia for writing to correct the details below! The bassist in this video is a different Mark:"The Mark in the video jammed with the Howard brothers for a period, but was never a formal member. I do see my amp and RAT pedal in...
Total possession of the atmosphere! After receiving the Concession of Pain demo (September 1987), John Peel arranged for a session. They recorded 4 songs on 3 January 1988: "Forgotten Existence", "Attack in the Aftermath", "Psychological Warfare", "In Battle There is No Law". The session was broadcast on Wednesday...
Formed by members of ORCHRISTE ("Sin" from this album was an old ORCHRISTE song) and TOTAL DEATH in 1990, SEANCE released Fornever Laid to Rest on this day in 1992. This was the debut SEANCE album, recorded and released within a year of their only demo, the extremely...
We have changed our name to TIAMAT because it does really fit our lyrics better. The Satanic image is to keep the Unholy Black Metal alive. Some people (in fact, alot of people) want to kill it but early Venom, Possessed, Destruction, Slayer, Sodom will forever live on...
CENTINEX recorded Transcend the Dark Chaos at Dan Swanö's Hellspawn/Unisound Studios over a weekend, finishing on this day in 1994. ...we recorded it during 2 days so it went pretty fast. We had a good time, but there was not that much alcohol involved in that recording though...- Martin...
Also a big thank you to our musical influences - REPULSION, SLAYER, R.A.V.A.G.E., DEATHSTRIKE, AUTOPSY, CHRISTOPHER YOUNG and VOMIT (Norway). Left Hand Path (Official Video) ENTOMBED released their classic debut on this day in 1990. Most of the songs on 'Left Hand Path' are old NIHILIST songs and...
Their final record (not counting the 1988 CD compilation or Torrao demos), POSSESSED released The Eyes of Horror on this day in 1987 through Combat Records. I don't think that we ever "moved" away from the heavier stuff, I think that we were just doing something different at the...
Yes, so far, and we're waiting to get the year end figures. It's amazing that sales have been good since our tour with Pestilence was cut short in Europe and we haven't toured at all in the U.S. It's been totally the underground which has supported us with...
...it's a five-album deal. As far as I know, Randy Burns will hopefully be producing and we will start recording in mid-to-lare July....I'm very confident in our new material. We've got a fairly large following. Just wait for the album - it will devastate. Combat are very supportive...
At the moment we're working on the LP and we are keeping our new songs a bit of a secret for a while. They will be quite different from the usual Death Metal style though.- Aaron Stainthorpe / My Dying Bride interview, Mortuary #3, 1992 MY DYING BRIDE...
