One day I came in with this riff and Abaddon started pounding the toms to it in a really tribal way. I was expecting a straight beat, but this rolling thing started happening with the song. And the solo is just a bunch of single, sustained notes with...
SLAUGHTER LORD, the pioneering Australian thrash & death horde, live in Melbourne on this day in 1987. The scene here is getting bigger and better all the time. Heaps of bangers are getting into THRASH / DEATH / H'CORE bands 'cause they have finally got their own bands...
The basics were recorded at the end of the last summer. We've let them "ripe", we recorded 12 or 13 songs. We've choosen seven which will be out on the album. The reason there are so few songs is that we have three songs which are more than...
The word [Pure] has got so much - it is loaded because it's not even blatant. I like the extremity of it as well. Essentially we are coming from extremes but it's extremes that get a bit lost in the mangle because you just can't be that specific...
The recording date isn't listed officially, but some cleaver soul used an interview with Phil Cope to work it out. At the start of '82 like I said before the love of my life left me and I was gutted. And we did a gig and it went...
MERCYFUL FATE were playing live at the Dynamo Club on this day in 1983. The full gig does exist on video (watch below), sourced from a decent quality VHS. Three songs have been preserved in amazing quality though and they can be found on the DVD included with...
Cheers you lot! The gig was actually recorded way back in August 1980, but on this day in 1981 the old Associated Television (now ITV) broadcast MOTORHEAD & GIRLSCHOOL on the Rockstage programme. Watch both sets, recorded at Nottingham's Theatre Royal, below. MOTORHEAD get 35 minutes, GIRLSCHOOL about...
"Killing Technology" lyrically will be a little more political though. We've never tried to side with one point of view but in the lyrics we like to tell people about nuclear war and polluting the atmosphere and stuff, and "Killing Technology" has quite a bit of that -...
We basically knew what we were going for. I'd say this record is more of an epic undertaking than the last one. We know how to get a lot more out of one note these days and we are a lot more trance-oriented in our music as far...
We'll begin with FORBIDDEN EVIL in 1988, we did a lot of touring and everything went well. Next, we did TWISTED INTO FORM, then everything went well again. However, somebody wanted to put us in the studio instead of keeping us on tour when TWISTED INTO FORM was...
Anyway, we had to make a move, because "War and Pain" had been released more than a year, before we decided to enter the studio and record "RRROOOAAARR". Our material had been ready for a long time and we were looking forward to listening to our new songs....
We always write about our real experiences. We never invented an honour story or a satanic rite. That's why we're not a "Black Metal" band. "The Exorcism" is a real personal story, and that goes for the other songs - they're real experiences that we (or I) happen...
Just months after the fall of the Berlin wall, and still several months from formal reunification, the Thrashing East Festival took place at Werner-Seelenbinder-Halle, East Berlin on this day in 1990. Headlined by KREATOR with TANKARD, CORONER and SABBAT! There is a lot of killer footage from the...
Here in Blighty Twilight Zone was a non-album single; a double-A side with "Wrathchild". We couldn't afford to pay for another video for 'Twilight Zone', so we did a double A-side, because we knew we were gonna be off touring a lot and, if by any chance they wanted us on...
ROCK GODDESS released their debut eponymous album this month in 1983. The band were already building a dedicated following in the rock and NWOBHM scene after gigging the circuit (later supporting IRON MAIDEN and DEF LEPPARD), appearing at the 1982 Reading festival, a Sounds cover feature and Kerrang!...
The Silver Machine single was recorded live on this day in 1972 during HAWKWIND's set at the Greasy Truckers Party, The Roundhouse, London. Other artists playing that day were MAN, BRINSLEY SCHWARZ and MAGIC MICHAEL. The original vocals were performed by Robert Calvert. The band considered them inadequate for the single,...
METALUCIFER live on this day in 2002 at The Live Station (also known as Meguro Live Station) in Shinagawa, Tokyo. The venue opened in 2000.
The recording was released as Heavy Metal Genocide - Live in Japan 2002 by Dozin Destroyer in 2003.
