20 Years Ago: MACABRE OMEN release The Ancient Returns

...the music needs to be grand, monotonous, repetitive and melancholic. All these elements can be found in _The Ancient Returns_. There is no point to mix hundreds of riffs with virtuoso solos as the listener (in this case myself) will lose the plot and will not be able...

20 Years Ago: SAPTHURAN release In Hatred

I was quite young when I wrote and recorded that album... still in high school, in fact. I suppose if it seemed cruel and hateful, it was nothing more than youth that spawned such emotions. I do not remember any specific events or ideas that may have caused...

30 Years Ago: BLUT AUS NORD release Ultima Thulee

...I think that everything that makes Blut Aus Nord is already at the heart of Ultima Thulée which, even if it is a rather naive album in its expression, contains this feeling found on what was recorded by BaN since. There is an obvious progression over the years,...

20 Years Ago: STARGAZER release The Scream That Tore the Sky

Many bands tend to move in one direction only, when there is seeming "progression", but what would that entail? Faster blast beats? Cleaner production, shredding solos? All that is still subject to objectivity! We have simply written unique songs which move in many ways, like branches from the...

35 Years Ago: DEATH SS release Black Mass

People were shocked to see five crazy young boys, masked as monsters, that, from a stage set up with authentic cemetery artifacts (stolen the night before from the local cemetery) threw worms, real blood and rotting flesh to the audience, playing a kind of music so dark and...

MARDUK released their third album, Opus Nocturne, on this day in 1994 through Osmose. ..."Opus Nocturne" lacks alot production wise, we are still very, very satisfied with the music featured on the album. Something that has been very positive for us is that we have changed studio from...

30 Years Ago: OBITUARY release World Demise

The new album has 12 songs. It was produced by Obituary and Scott Burns and help-mixed by my live sound man, Big Shirt. So it's a combination of these that brought the production together. I was pretty excited about the new album because we've gone through a lot...

30 Years Ago: BETHLEHEM release Dark Metal

We're specialized in creating innovative songs played at slow or moderate speed. Sometimes we do faster because in our opinion it's more interesting to create a far-reaching irization. We set great stores by simple arrangements joined with deeply depressive melodies. These depressive melodies crassly change with very brutal...

30 Years Ago: AMORPHIS release Tales from the Thousand Lakes

Just before we released Tales From The Thousand Lakes we got the idea to use the Kalevala for our lyrics. Amorphis firmly rooted in folk, ethnic and oriental music, using that in combination with stories from the Kalevala seemed like a very original and unique idea to us....

30 Years Ago: CANNIBAL CORPSE release The Bleeding
