We didn't have a theme for this one. It was just get it out. We worked with Mike Clink on the production. He's the best producer I've ever worked with, and I'm looking forward to working with him again. The record was mixed by Max Norman. It ha...

...when the Kraut rock thing came up, back then, in the early Seventies, it was like all the international stars in big music magazines: they got big articles and nice features - it was like they were putting us down and making us very small. It was like,...
For one thing, it will be on CD finally! You'll definately notice that we've gotten a hell of a lot better. The progression on this album is just amazing. That's what I feel. The production fuckin' rules. We're not a trebley band anymore. I know we always had...
Their scorching new release, featuring the gargantuan title track and video Painkiller.
Awesome! Backwards or Forwards.
JUDAS PRIEST released their classic twelth album, Painkiller, on this day in 1990.
All of these death metal bands who are terrible will hopefully listen to this album and say "I quit!", and put the guitars away and go working at a counter, and not playing anymore. We were hoping maybe that would stop people, but actually I think it had...
I have so many fantastic memories about that time. The band lived in London while we were recording 'Wildcat,' and we were out every night partying! All the bands used to meet at the Ship then on to the Marquee Club in Wardour Street in the West End...
England's favorite speedsters XENTRIX (pronounced Zen-tricks) are back to capture America's ears on their second full-length album... XENTRIX released their second LP, For Whose Advantage, on this day in 1990 through Roadracer Records. For whose advantage, was more thought out and technical, we spent more time on the songs...

Eviction are a Crossover band out of Pittsburgh, PA. They are a very good Crossover band in the vein of Crumbsuckers, only much better, and not so lame. The vocals sound like the original Crumbsuckers singer. Musically they play well arranged Hardcore with a Thrash style. Live they...
PERGAMENT - from Novi Sad, Serbia (former Yugoslavia) - released their only album, Vruća linija, on this day in 1988.
It's got some parts that are a little faster than "Gothic," but then there's some parts that are slower than anything we've done before. It's a more listenable Lp than anything we've done before, it's got more variation. Gregor Mackintosh / Paradise Lost interview, Thrashikus #5, 1992 PARADISE...
A couple of years ago, when we started playing [in Atlanta], there wasn't anything happening, but as time went on, they finally caught on to what we were doing. The first time we played in Atlanta, they never saw or heard anything like us, and these people weren't...
The whole concept for the next LP has already been created. The concept involves a journey that the Voivod will take into another dimension. This new dimension is called Hatross and it will be created in the Voivod lab. The whole thing is very difficult to explain. The...
I believe I have my own place in the Rock sphere. And no-one else can really occupy it. You see you can't be anything else but yourself and carve out your own niche. People have influenced me sure, but what i do doesn't sound like anyone else. I...
We played LIVE and concentrated on getting Larry Howe's drums perfect to begin with, then building up from there with the other instruments. Mike Varney had a pretty rigid deal back then for all the Shrapnel Records bands. We had only 100 hours to do everything in the...
Our brand new material is more technical and ofcourse still speedy and heavy. Songs like: "Black Death", "The Ritual", "Death Trap" and "Bestial Invasion" are real killer!!

...in order to make the record in the first place,my mother helped us get along for $5000,so we had forty hours to studio time to do the whole thing and then we recorded it and pressed it and everything was done with our $5000 budget!That's all we had.We...
