27 Years Ago: IMPETIGO record Ultimo Mondo Cannibale

The l.p. is the sickest, heaviest, and best thing to date. It has all the songs from the "Giallo" demo on it, but I think it has better production and the vocals are heavier. The l.p. will have 16 songs altogether, some old and some new. It'll be...

22 Years Ago: DARKTHRONE release Total Death

29 Years Ago: NIHILIST complete Only Shreds Remain demo at Sunlight Studio

We used Sunlight only because Morbid had been there. But I was not pleased with the studio. I think the production on our second demo sucks. The drums, especially, sound awful. Skogsberg didn't know much about how to take care of death metal back then. The reason we...
