26 Years Ago: DEATH release Human (Lack Of Comprehension video + Making of video)

Released on this day in 1991. "Human" really says it all for me, personally, and it describes that album, 'cause it all revolves around human nature and my views as a fellow human being, it's definitely not about some satanic or made-up demons. I just want to make...

21 Years Ago: MY DYING BRIDE release Like Gods of the Sun

...that's actually possibly the only album we planned, because normally we just write stuff and we put it on record; we don't really know what the sound, what the finished product is going to be like. For Like Gods of the Sun, we knew that so many bands...

30 Years Ago: SINDROME complete Into the Halls of Extermination debut demo

Well it is a cool demo for the time although to this day and it was a good overall sound of the band. The songs were strong enough to live on their own and most thought it sounded album quality back in that era. I like 'Rapture In...

27 Years Ago: FUNEBRE complete Demo 90 (Early Finnish Death Metal)

I usually write the riffs, but nowadays the others have plenty of ideas about how to put the riffs in a fitting order, and sometimes we have to throw out some riffs. I think you can call us a democratic band in a way or another, but in...
