The Among . . . CD is material written in the time span of 1992-1994. We went through a complete change of members in the second guitar spot and added keyboards in late 1993. The line-up on the CD survived for maybe a year or so. It was...
For the upcoming third CD FLIGHT OF THE BEHEMOTH our recordings were culled from across our entire existence so the methods varied but were mainly improvised in the studio. FOtB has two tracks mixed / assembled / deconstructed / produced by outside individuals: Masami Akita aka MERZBOW and...
The story behind Phantasm was me… and a good friend of mine from Metallica, Ron McGovney… would put together this band that I had an idea for called Phantasm. I knew Ron from back in the early days… when HIRAX and Metallica would hang out…drinking Vodka and beer...
I basically lost interest in DEATH METAL about 3-4 years ago, but CATHEDRAL is by no means a DEATH METAL band as far as I'm concerned!! TROUBLE, SABBATH etc. have been my fave bands for the last 5-6 years, and at last now I have the chance to...
Formed by Manolo Schäfler in 1993 after leaving TORTURER following their debut LP, INQUISICION released their debut album, Steel Vengeance, on this day in 1996.
We push ourselves - every strum is double time, every ride/hi hat beat is DOUBLE time, etc. We have what I call 'the overkill factor', you've got heaviness, you've got speed, you've got blazing, then you've got 'the overkill factor'. Where everything is pushing its limit; you're about...
Our music sounds exactly like five people from the Bayou should sound. Five different directions that just so happen to come together. Listening to Blondie, David Bowie, Moody Blue, Dead Can Dance, Black Sabbath, Devo, and Thrill Kill Cult influences that make a big pile of chaos that...
ANATHEMA released their third album, Eternity, on this day in 1996 through Peaceville. The concept of "Hope". That was the choice, the concept itself of the song. Maybe we're not just spirits disappearing, maybe there is some sort of light at the end of the tunnel as far...
Totally different from the EP, it was recorded in a 16 track studio and we had a week to record it. The songs are faster & heavier than those on the EP. And the production is also much better. So I can tell you it has everything to...
Our current manager, Matthias Prill, knew Tommy Ziegler, the head of Disaster, so he invited the guy to the show. We brought Warfare over from England and we really played our hearts out; the offer came from that night....we did receive some other offers, but I won't say...
This album feels like it is a new beginning for the band. We feel really excited about having Ted Parsons in the band and working in the studio with him. There are two noticeable differences with this record than any past albums we have done. Unlike past albums,...
Formed by members of KILSLUG, UPSIDEDOWN CROSS released their self-titled debut LP on this day in 1991 through Taang!J. Mascis (DINOSAUR JR) is the drummer on this record. The Upsidedown Cross record is one of my favorite records I've ever played on. I was flirting with real punk...
Hailing from Florida, CRIMSON GLORY released their classic debut LP on this day in 1986 through local label Par Records. Not long after the original release, CRIMSON GLORY signed to Roadrunner and re-released Crimson Glory in 1987. They followed it with a second classic, Transcendence, in 1988. Both...
When I look back upon my many years spent as the vocalist and lyricist of SKYCLAD, I feel enormously proud of what we managed to collectively achieve. I think that basically we created a brand new sound with that band, which has over subsequent years influenced a whole...
I don't want to be a rock star, I want to make music I like, which happens to have a limited audience. But you never know. Who ever thought Nirvana would be huge?I like people to have a reaction to the music. If they like it, great. I...
WOLF SPIDER (formerly WILCZY PAJĄK) released their fourth album, Drifting in the Sullen Sea, on this day in 1991 through Under One Flag. The band split soon after the release but reformed two decades later. Their fifth album, V, was released in 2015.
METAL CHURCH released their second LP, The Dark, on this day in 1986 through Elektra. [On the album sleeve] We're standing in front of a place in Seattle. O.K., Seattle, the city, it goes in a circle, right, and right in the middle of it there's a lake...
