It was a very weird thing. We started that stuff with the Under Jolly Roger album, and everything started with the song "Under Jolly Roger." At that time we were looking for a title for the whole record, and I said that was a great title for the...

In ways, it's different, but it's not so different in other ways, you know?! That's how I see it. The musical progress is clear, I think. "...And So The Night Became" has more pounding sound, better arrangement and more 'focused' emotion than "Beyond The Wandering Moon". Aeternus interview,...
...we did another EP, Quick Fix of Melancholy, which was our way of trying to get back into writing songs—or something resembling songs—and also find out where we wanted to take things. Kristoffer "Garm" Rygg / Ulver interview, Modern Fix, 2005 ULVER released their fourth EP, A Quick...
SAINT VITUS released their fourth album, Mournful Cries, on this day in 1988 through SST. The band practiced in a shed behind a crack-house in Torrance and they worried they might get their amps impounded or stolen before the studio date came. Whereas for the first album the...
I began a Death Metal band called Molested and that was really cool times. It was kind of being an apprentice, learning to play guitar, and we rehearsed and all that for four years, I think every second day. Really intense period. Øystein Brun / Borknagar interview, Cryptic...
FUNERAL MIST - formed by Arioch (MARDUK) in 1994 - released their first major release, the Devilry mini-album, on this day in 1998. Recording took place in late 1997 through January 1998 at Necromorbus Studio. Some of the songs, including the eponymous track above, originate at least as...
It's occultist roots stemming back to the ancient Vampiric society of UR mixes well with our dark music. It is still very Satanic in nature, but it is something different than anything I wrote before. Rev. Vincent Crowley, Acheron interview, Dark Ages, 1998 ACHERON released their fifth full-length...
It's definitely our best one, the best songwriting, the best production and all that stuff. So it is definitely a step forward for the band and as far as a wider audience goes, the record label, Morbid Records, helped that. They've taken care of a lot of the...
BRATMOBILE recorded their session for the John Peel programme on this day in 1993 at Maida Vale 4. It was broadcast on 10 September.
We did one tour in the States with DEATH ANGEL and [Capitol Records] gave us a lot of money! Basically for a band that comes out of nowhere, that did one demotape, 500 copies... we had no idea what the music business was all about as far as...
MASACRE released the Barbarie y sangre en memoria de Cristo EP on this day in 1993 through vocalist Alex's Mórbida Productions.
Grindcore wasn't that hot at that time. Napalm Death had made a few non-grindcore albums and it was evident that we filled a void. There was a hole in the extreme music world that we happened to fill. Many of the reviews had passages like "I don't usually...
The album was recorded in our first rehearsal space in Drammen, as well as in the basement of the old drummer's house, using a lot of equipment that we had brought there ourselves. It was not a very structured process, and none of us had that much studio...
Yeah, I'm pretty happy with it. I think the drums could've been louder in some parts but other than that, I think it's killer. Yeah, I think it turned out really good. Rob Flynn / Vio-lence interview, Out of the Underground #1, 1989 VIO-LENCE released their debut album,...
The meaning of it... directly you can't say... "Nexus" means a connection point between 2 things and "Polaris" has two different means... It's a guiding star, and at the same time it's the name of the first NUCLEAR MISSILE ever made...Compolaris... so... for me, the title means "Progressive...
...i don't know what the purpose [of the EP] waz actually, we just wanted to record those songs, and metal blade were interested to see if we could sell something without a gruesome gory cover. Alex Webster / Cannibal Corpse interview, Eruptions From Below #5, 1993 CANNIBAL CORPSE...
I have tried to combine my way of playing to get the most darkness out of the riffs. It will contain more and more of the old spirit. The old spirit of Black Metal will be more present than in some years for us you know. Nocturno Culto...
I am satisfied [with Aske] yeah, but it was the second full length album that supposed to be out by now, I guess D.S.P. did not understand that in time. The second LP is recorded in April 1992 and it's getting rather old, it'll be out in September...
