Alot of people think we sound more constructed now but that's not true!! We still play uncontrolled and we don't know what we will play before we record the stuff. Only the sound is so much better that some people won't recognize our music...I think it came out...

Ancient Rites was formed early '89 and consisted of an entirely different line-up of which I am the only one left. Soon after releasing the "Dark Ritual" demo, Philip (guitars) died in a car accident, Stefan (drums) was fired and committed suicide, Johan (guitars) left the entire metal...
Barbarian! Destroyer! Warrior! The Return of True Power Metal Unleashed from the darkest depths of Damnationto bring forth the book of Armageddon ... Barbaric black metal (NEAT 1015, that is) arrived on this day in 1984. VENOM's third album, At War with Satan! You won't believe it, we...
VELES released their last album on this day in 2004. Great album by an important band within the notorious Polish 90's underground! Released by Der Sieg Records.Rich atmosphere aided by Darken (GRAVELAND) and a strong production. This is not the savage Black Hateful Metal album from a few...
ACHERON released their debut album - Rites of the Black Mass - on this day in 1992 through Turbo Music. It was released by JL America in the US later that year. Cast thy shadow over the earth on this blackened night... Preceding each ACHERON song is a...
Fear the stench of the cauldron... GRAND BELIAL'S KEY recorded their first demo, Goat of a Thousand Young, on this day in 1992! Let's clear things up. I wrote for the first demo alone. Till this day I own the 4-track cassettes with the fucking work I created,...
MERCYFUL FATE were playing live at the Dynamo Club on this day in 1983. The full gig does exist on video (watch below), sourced from decent quality VHS. Three songs have been preserved in amazing quality though and can be found on the DVD included in the Melissa...
The posters read... BLACK METAL RETURNS Thirteen Power Packed Tracks This month in 1987 VENOM unleashed their fourth album - Possessed. The last VENOM album with Mantas until the mid-90s reunion. I don't think that everybody had enough input, because when we came to record the album, nobody...
It was released more than one year ago. Now I think that it could have been better, especially the sound. The experience we have now will be useful for the recording of the next album. About 'Worship Him' I think it's all the same good album.- Masmiseîm /...
Primitive and barbaric Black Metal, BATHORY-style. This demo is fucking great, even if the drums sound like being handled by a hippopotamus, or some other animal lacking anything close to rhythmical sense!- Frost / Satyricon interview, Voices from the Darkside, 2002 SATYRICON recorded their second demo - The...
Yes, the band still consists of only two members. I would prefer to have a full band; but unfortunately, "true people" who can play dark and original riffs are extremely hard to find. We have played live with two session musicians once. Of course, a good stage show...
For example we have been rehearsing for our second album which AVANTGARDE MUSIC will produce. The reason for changing a label was that Michael Piesch of LETHAL RECORDS unfilled His duties for us. In other words He is a rip-off guy. (I know that too...-ED) Well anyway AVANTGARDE...
NAZXUL released their debut album on this day in 1995 through Vampire Records, the NSW label that first released SADISTIK EXEKUTION's The Magus in 1991. We have always considered our sound to be a part of the black metal cult and shall always remain that way. The authentic...
In this year fierce, foreboding omens came over the land of the Northumbrians, and the wretched people shook; there were excessive whirlwinds, lightning, and fiery dragons were seen flying in the sky. These signs were followed by great famine, and a little after those, that same year on...
Yeah, I see ABRUPTUM releasing LP's, and that is already planned. Our debut album will be released by OCCULTUS & EURONYMOUS (Only EURONYMOUS) but I don't think it will be release by D.S.P., and it will be absolutely not to get in any normal record store. The album...
On this day in 1984 HELLHAMMER were putting the finishing touches to their only major release, the total cult Apocalyptic Raids, which began on the 2nd at Caet Studios, Berlin. Produced by Tom Warrior & Martin Ain, engineered by Horst Mueller. Tom Warrior - SATANIC SLAUGHTER - V-...

A three song mini CD featuring "The Loss and Curse of Reverence" (acting as a single / preview for Anthems...
From Peaceville's original promo sheet: Darkthrone are not like any other death metal band from Norway, in fact they are not even a death metal band! They prefer the title 'unholy black metal', which this second LP 'A Blaze in the Northern Sky' will show you.It's more of...
