23 Years Ago: ENSLAVED release Frost

Yep, that's right. I also sometimes add plain pieces of poetry (ex. "Isøders Dronning"/"The Queen of the Vast Icelands" which will be on our next album "Frost"). This is more mood based stuff springing from my dark and sometimes melancholic moments. But the Viking concept is something that...

21 Years Ago: LORD WIND Forgotten Songs CD released on Full Moon Prod

At that time I was keen on Celtic mythologies and Druids' mysticism. I lived in a world of my imagination and my spirituality and I did not pay any attention to the outside world. I prayed to Gods on holy Samhain night. All these things had great impact...

11 Years Ago: LIFELOVER release Pulver

This was an instantly popular release when it arrived on this day in 2006. LIFELOVER, and this album in particular, influenced a wave of new bands although most lacked the sardonic self-awareness and humour behind these songs of modern urban depression and introspective hate/violence fantasies. The members disguised...

20 Years Ago: EMPEROR release Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk

The new album is more aggressive, but it's also more beautiful and nicer in other ways. Lyrically, it's not so one-sided, and the same with the vocals: there are more atmospheres on the new album. You can say, perhaps, that In the Nightside Eclipse is more whole, as...

24 Years Ago: BLASPHEMY release Gods of War

There wasn't any kind of a plan really, it was just a collection of leftover songs and a few newer ones that Black Winds wrote on his own. I think maybe Black Priest had to do with some of them too but he didn't stay in the group...
