Five years after the self-titled debut - released by THR - the follow-up features three of the five original members: Imperial (KRIEG), Wrest (LEVIATHAN) and Azentrius (NACHTMYSTIUM). Malefic (XASTHUR) and Hildolf (DRAUGAR) are replaced...

ALGAION completed recording of Vox Clamentis - the follow-up to their FMP debut LP Oimai Algeiou - on this day in 1995. The mini CD was released about a year later through Italian label Wounded Love. Vox Clamentis was again recorded at Peter Tägtgren's Abyss studio. When we...
10 Years Ago: AKITSA release Au crepuscule de l'esperance

10 Years Ago: AKITSA release Au crepuscule de l'esperance

It possesses the deepest, most sincere lyrics we've ever written. Musically, it is evolving toward new ground while retaining the fundamental roots of Akitsa. The songs were sporadically recorded at different time periods. This should explain the changes and variation in our sound as the settings were changed...

25 Years Ago: NAZXUL release Totem

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...

25 Years Ago: SUMMONING release Lugburz

SUMMONING released their debut album Lugburz on this day in 1995. This album contains most of the demo-songs, but highly rearranged. Most of the basic riffs have been composed on bass-guitar, while Protector added the other melody-lines on guitar. On this album keyboards have been used, just as...
21 Years Ago: EMPEROR release IX Equilibrium

21 Years Ago: EMPEROR release IX Equilibrium

I think the new album is a bit beyond the terms of Black Metal. We have used a more "all over" Metal influence, ranging from strict Heavy to Trash/Death Metal. After finishing an album, there are always things one could have wished to do differently, but I feel...

30 Years Ago: TORR record Armageddon

TÖRR completed the recording of their debut LP, Armageddon, on this day in 1990 at Studiu C. It was released through Czech label Multisonic. I like this record. It was our first and over 80.000 copies were sold. We had a good luck for a big label with...
22 Years Ago: ABIGOR release Supreme Immortal Art

22 Years Ago: ABIGOR release Supreme Immortal Art

...the album is very technical and complex. It's for sure the most matured release so far, even I am not that satisfied with the production, anyway, I think we've managed to create a kind of restless harmony between the keyboards and the guitars, without any loss of the...
30 Years Ago: MAYHEM live in Jessheim

30 Years Ago: MAYHEM live in Jessheim

We just started playing live after a break which lasted 4 years, and the reasons were lack of members and rehearsalplaces. And songs. Now we did a couple of gigs, it was cool except that all the equipment fucked up on the 1st one... Euronymous / Mayhem interview,...
20 Years Ago: RAGNAROK release Diabolical Age

20 Years Ago: RAGNAROK release Diabolical Age

...the third album is on it's way. It will be called "Diabolical Age" and contains 8 tracks including a very nice and melodic piano outro. Though it is only 8 tracks on the record, you can still enjoy almost 60 minutes of black metal at it's best. Jontho...
21 Years Ago: TAAKE release Nattestid ser porten vid

21 Years Ago: TAAKE release Nattestid ser porten vid

Nattestid...' (simply meaning 'Night time') is but a small representation of my inner feelings, thoughts and emotions; fractions of my aggression, frustration, yearnings and melancholy. All expressed metaphorically through self-created old Norwegian lyrics scenery, accompanied by my own interpretation of extreme metal. The material on this album was...
