This was a bit of a weird one. We actually recorded it as our second release, but we then had to take our label to court which meant that most of it was temporarily lost for legal reasons. The next thing I know the band had split into...
I remember I felt a profound rush of satisfaction when the music for The Olden Domain started to come together in terms of writing, producing, and, even more so, when the album was finished. Finally, I felt that all the pieces of the puzzle came together in a...
FUNERAL MIST, formed by Arioch (MARDUK) in 1994, released their first major release - the Devilry minialbum - on this day in 1998. Recording took place in late 1997-January 1998 at Necromorbus Studio. Some of the songs, including the eponymous track above, originate at least as far back...
...out style has progressed a lot since our demo. The new material is more melodic and has a lot more keyboard and acoustics than our demo. Dolgar / Gehenna interview, Petrified #3, 1994 GEHENNA entered Soundsuite Studio to record their second EP, First Spell, on the 3rd of...

DARKTHRONE live in Lahti, Finland on this day in 1991. This gig took place a few months after the release of their debut Soulside Journey, while material was being written for what would be released as Goatlord (e.g., the second song, "Life", is "In His Lovely Kingdom" on...
Many of my songs are filled with melancholy and pain for the past heritage, forgotten by my folk. The new songs are written more consciously because with life experience grows the wisdom, which can be reflected in creativity. I think there is no point in comparing the releases...
Japan's SABBAT live on this day in 1987 at YANTA鹿鳴館, Osaka, Japan. YANTA鹿鳴館 was a heavy metal club in Nishikujō, Osaka which opened in 1985. The location still exists and is now known as 西九条BRAND NEW. Sabbat - The Curse of Hamagrism: Hamaguri Mythology This gig has been...

...I think we'll have to record it on your side of the world. It's certainly the best thing I've ever been a part of, that's for sure. Shrapnel has written 3 songs and Berzerker wrote 1 song. But as usual, they contribute bits and pieces here and there,...

CARPATHIAN FOREST live at Studio TVP in Kraków, Poland on this day in 2004. This recording was released as the first half of the DVD We're Going to Hollywood for This: Live Perversions later that year through Metal Mind.
I've actually been wanting to re-mix the album - not every song, but like half the tracks. For example: "A Magician's Lapis-Lazuli" - the snare drum's completely buried. I really wanted to experiment on this recording, because I used four different snare drums on the recording - a...
Widar completed the recording of BILSKIRNIR's debut album, In Flames of Purification, on this day in 2002. The original five songs were recorded in sessions over four weeks and released later in the year by Solistitium Records' short lived imprint Millenium Metal Music. For all those who burned...
