Originally available on tape, NOKTURNAL MORTUM released their debut album - Goat Horns - on this day in 1997 through Polish label Morbid Noizz. It was released on CD in March the next year by American label The End Records (now part of BMG) and Nuclear Blast.
As a whole, it was received well. Of course some said the sound was a bit poor, but that I don't care about, I like raw!! It's a demo, do they expect CD quality production?? The only complaints were on the vocals being too screamy, but at the...
We spread a seriouse point of view about satanism and that we are the only one. Also different aspects seen through the eyes of a demon. Also we spread our own feelings through the music and who we are. What we stand for and what to be destroyed....
After ending MAYHEMIC TRUTH in 2000, Beliar and Balor formed the equally epic MORRIGAN. Morrigan was born in summer 2000. We never considered to call the band MAYHEMIC TRUTH, because after the relase of "In Memoriam" this would be a joke... Balor / Morrigan interview, Tales from the...
Musically, AETERNUS stands between black Metal and death Metal mostly. We have our own style and the term 'dark Metal' suits it all perfectly, if one wants to label our music. Aeternus interview, Random #4, 2000 AETERNUS released their debut album, Beyond the Wandering Moon, on this day...

We are what our name uphold. Wolves.. During night we find a mental and to some extent also a physical (!) well-being that we most likely are never to find at daytime. The truth is simply that ever time the sun breaks through it has a detrimental effect...
We are the New Darkthrone. We deny old Darkthrone stuff. We formed in 1991. All has changed. Unholy black metal and satanic poetry are us. We hate death metal and trendy scene. We will not be part of it. To isolate it what we must do to make...
...we released "Í Blóði Og Anda" on a German label called "Ars Metalli" in 2002. We started recording that album in early 1999 but ran into lots of trouble, so it might seem to the outsider that we were idle for those 3 years. Then shortly after it's...
It's more of a statement of what Krieg actually is as far as our ideological and musical side goes. I don't think the themes have changed too much but the execution is certainly different than before. Lord Imperial / Krieg interview, Feo Amante's Horror Home Page, 2002 KRIEG...
...our lyrics are based on historical events and mythology of the ancient Balts, and all that is presented through individual experience. In some way we are trying to recall paganism, and show the values, that now are uncommon. In other way we pay honour for our blood. It's...

With Warfare Noise I, Brazil and - in a way - the rest of world, paid more attention to Belo Horizonte. The bands were really good at the musical level. Of course, things weren't so great when it came to organization. Most bands here didn't have that entrepreneur...
ROOT released their seventh album, Black Seal, on this day in 2001. The cover design is by Seth Haymon (LYCANTHROPY). Seth ICQed me as a Root fan. I had no clue he's a painter and he plays in some band... nothing. After a month or so he wrote...
