24 Years Ago: GATES OF ISHTAR record A Bloodred Path

I'm quite satisfied with "A bloodred path", but the only reason that it's not full-pointer is because of the old material which is on it, but it's a great album to do a debut with. Andreas Johansson / Gates of Ishtar interview, Ichor #2, 1997 Finnish melodic death...

25 Years Ago: SENTENCED release Amok

Yes, you either like it or definitely not like it. Amok is a release that forces you to a definite opinion, and usually they are from both extremes! To me the negative reaction is just as flattering as the positive. Taneli Jarva / Sentenced interview, Word of Mouth...

30 Years Ago: FUNEBRE record Cranial Torment

30 Years Ago: FUNEBRE record Cranial Torment

We have big laughs about it, it's so primitive! But doesn't almost everyone kind of progress in the songwriting area as the time goes on? I don't what's the attitude towards Samppa and Seppo, but I suppose their feelings are the same. I've never asked what they think...
