25 Years Ago: COVENANT release Nexus Polaris

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...

30 Years Ago: BURZUM release Aske

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...

25 Years Ago: ANGELCORPSE release Exterminate

"Exterminate", our second album, was released at the end of February (1998), I'm not sure when the Aussie release will occur. Expect the album to be everything you know about Angelcorpse only much more obsessive and ripping than ever before. This new album has a lot more blasting...

20 Years Ago: SATYRICON release Volcano

Strong, dark atmospheres, coldness, eeriness - you can expect "Volcano" to invoke this in you. This album is mostly about powerful and quite straightforward Black Metal, with some Thrash and Hardrock elements thrown in. Don't bother so much with how it eventually differs from the other albums or...
25 Years Ago: BURZUM release Daudi Baldrs

25 Years Ago: BURZUM release Daudi Baldrs

Balder's Death is meant to stimulate mortal's ability to think beyond the normally accepted 'truths', to make them think for themselves. Dreams change nothing. Thoughts change nothing either, but perhaps the next album will stimulate mortal's will to act? We need no more dreams. We need no more...
20 Years Ago: NEGURA BUNGET release n crugu bradului

20 Years Ago: NEGURA BUNGET release n crugu bradului

'N crugu bradului opens and closes a complete and expressive cycle, a unitary vision melting mythological ambient, psychedelic and Transilvanian feeling into a complex layered musical and ideological structure. Sought original musical and lyrical structures, a deep personal emotional approach, make the album not just a cyclic dream...
