24 Years Ago: THE 3RD AND THE MORTAL release Painting on Glass

We have all the way since the beginning in 1992 tried to capture a unique sound. The idea behind the band was that it t was not to have any musikal bounderies what so ever, in a process of creating songs and different soundscapes. In the beginning every...

30 Years Ago: ROTTING CORPSE record Neck Breaking Fury

For instance this band Rotting Corpse consists of what I would call true metal fans. They've been into metal from it's early days. You know when Black Sabbath, Thin Lizzy, Rush, Saxon, MSG etc. were the hardest you could find. Then you probably wonder why they've chosen such...

20 Years Ago: RUNNING WILD release Victory

I think the entire professional career in all its fifteen years has been one single learning process as far as songwriting, production and self presentation goes. I think there has been a constant development from one stage to the next whereas Death Or Glory was the only exception...

33 Years Ago: FALL OF BECAUSE (Pre GODFLESH) live

At that time, Fall of Because was the entire opposite of all the speed stuff happening. We'd do gigs with Napalm Death and Extreme Noise Terror. When we would play, Paul and I would face Justin with our backs to the crowd and play for ourselves. And everybody...

15 Years Ago: MINOTAURI release Minotauri

With MINOTAURI, the idea is more riff-based the hard way, ya know? Also, my vocals are nothing nice or beautiful. I like hard sounds and I think there`s no point to sound radio-friendly or nice when playing Doom Metal. A mix of HELLHAMMER, CELTIC FROST, DEATH ROW (PENTAGRAM),...

28 Years Ago: DEATH SS release Heavy Demons

When I started with the band I was very young and I wanted to break the world. When I then reformed Death SS in 1988 I simply had the purpose to start a professional music career, which could grow artistically over the time. I was never interested in...

25 Years Ago: TIAMAT release Gaia

It's about nature. It's one of the few songs that is more direct, I think, my personal view of it. We don't like to discuss the lyrics and everything, I think it's more up to the listener. Johnny Hagel / Tiamat interview, Word of Mouth #3, 1995 TIAMAT...
