I can not hide that "Sleep of the Angels" has a lot of enemies. The album sold a lot still, but we had lost our reputation as a band. It was an era that I was passing back then and I think that every artist has this right...

Meine persönliche Ansicht ist, daß Vergleiche mit diversen skandinavischen Bands (leider) nicht abgestritten werden können. Andererseits halte ich "Hünengrab im Herbst" für eines der bestproduziertesten und auch charismatisch intensivsten Black Metal Alben überhaupt. Mit ‚charismatisch intensiv‘ spiele ich nicht auf Originalität an, sondern auf die Intensität bzw. die...
The main inspiration for the creation of UNPURE is probably our inner selves and our thoughts about evil, darkness, cold, war and destruction... I haven't give this question much thoughts so I think starting the band just came natural for us ! Kolgrim / Unpure interview, Tales of...
We don't use make up, breath fire, and everything anymore. This "new" Black Metal "rain" is a shame for the ancient ones. I laugh at, when I hear some of these goth or dark bands calling their soft music of Metal. I don't believe them !! But, the...
I really like when music goes beyond the typical black metal standards into a something like a dreamworld. That's why we use in some parts of the songs clean guitars and noisy backgrounds in order to transfer the listeners imagination into the abyss we created. Khal Drogo /...
ROTTING CHRIST have already started the recording of their first full lenght LP too. (Actually we have started last night...). It will be out on Osmose Productions - the known upcoming label from France. It will be entitled - "Thy Mighty Contract" and should be out by the...
MOONBLOOD completed work on Sob a lua do bode - their side of the split with DEATHSPELL OMEGA - on this day in 1997. Recording took place at Digan Tonstudio, Annaberg, Saxony on the 2nd of November, then finalised and mixed on the 8th. The material from this session...
MAYHEM live in Italy on this day in 1998. The set, recorded at the Rainbow Club in Milan, was released by Avantgarde in 1999 as Mediolanum Capta Est. The official release does not include the last song performed that night, "Funeral Fog", with Attila (in Italy to record...
ABIGOR released their debut album on this day in 1994. After "Moonrise" Tharen had been replaced through Silenius who's also involved in Summoning. The reason for the removal of Tharen was the lack of dedication and passivity from his side, so this was the only suitable solution for...
We always try to give a chaotic atmosphere to our sounds. We are realistic and pessimistic without using artifacts of transcendetalism or exaltation of life. That's the album. The war as a motto of the final destruction of the human race !!! Sabbaoth / Goatpenis interview, Templo del...
It has been planned that Warloghe's next release might be a 7"ep. The day of unleashment has been scheduled somewhere in the autumn. The new songs are much more complex and mightier than the songs on the debut release, but of course they too have that black primitivity...
BESTIAL SUMMONING recorded a rehearsal on this day in 1991. This is some of their earliest material, recorded several months before their only album, The Dark War Has Begun. This rehearsal circulated on tape for years but was released on CD and vinyl as a split with HERETIC...
"Pentagram" contain 8 hatefull track's, very brutal, thou also melodic. This is pure, true Black Metal as it was ment to be. There is 6 new track's + the two from the demo A Sorcery....thou a bit different. I don't think its any big difference between our new...
The melodies are my music. Some people use melodies to give the music a bit extra, but for me the music is there to give the melodies the extra. I always use chords that are related to each other so that the melody can be harmonic. So I...
"Blood Fire Death" was a complicated album as we were doing it almost for a year, back and forth. We had plans to do a concept album and were really into this Viking thing. Swords, muscles and Conan. We started to write songs for an album called "Blood...
AMESOEURS released their debut, Ruines humaines, on this day in 2006. Neige (ALCEST, MORTIFERA, PESTE NOIRE) formed the band in 2004 with Audrey Sylvain (PESTE NOIRE, ASPHODÈLE) and Fursy Teyssier (LES DISCRETS). ...this concept was already in my mind before I met Neige. I wasn't a musician at...
...the recording of "The Burning Season" is done...it turned out rather well considering it was done in 6 (count em 6...yeah 6...666 ?) days !. And it clocks in at over 30 minutes...for four tracks. We conquered again in the face of adversity, or rather temperamental computers and...
I think it was only 45 minutes to record hahaha, it was recorded live in our rehearsal room, everything was miked up, the guy pressed record on his machines and we went for it, we rehearse hard to play easy, all of our Albums are done in the...
