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...

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: 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: DARKTHRONE release Transilvanian Hunger

No other band has been boycotted to such an extent as DARKTHRONE. This feeble attempt to shut us up simply enables us to take this title: The worlds most hated band. We have no problems with that...... DARKTHRONE released their fourth album, Transilvanian Hunger, on this day in...

30 Years Ago: DAWN release Naer solen gar nither for evogher

Our debut album was NOT a blend of black metal and death metal, but rather a blend of heavy metal, thrash metal, death metal, alternative, and classical music/guitar. This album was created between 1992 and late 1993, so it was a time when death metal was very hyped....

25 Years Ago: AETERNUS release ...and So the Night Became

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,...
