...we made our first demo in november 1990. It is titled 'When Death Join Us' and contains five tracks of aggressive death metal. We recorded it on 16 tracks in a professional studio and it has a good sound quality. Of course there are things we would have...

Everytime we write an album we don't go like, let's make it more mainstream or whatever, just to go into the studio and make something. We don't think like that. YOU know we play the music for ourselves and we want to have fun with the stuff we...
That album was the last of 3 for the Peaceville label, we spent a lot of time on it and the music was over thought I feel. We wrote more as a band unlike the second album which I didn't have much to do with writing music. And...
BAUHAUS released their debut album, In the Flat Field, on this day in 1980 through 4AD / Beggars Banquet. We didn't need [critics] and we didn't need labels; we just formed our own force. By the time Beggars Banquet had signed us we already had a large audience...
[Black metal] is to many the reason why we are still alive today, and to others why they've already died. This particular form of art have such a special aura. For me, it's the most spiritual art form that exists. Also the most philosophical genre of metal. It...
MORTES SALTANTES recorded their debut demo on this day in 1995 at Studio Penta, Kichijoji. MORTES SALTANTES continued for two more demos - 黄泉人舞 (1996) and Call from Yomi (1998) - before renaming themselves 凶音 (MAGANE).As 凶音 they released two albums, including their killer debut Mortes Saltantes, named...
I've tried to be a little bit different from the mainstream and to follow my own path, as much as possible. I changed everything between The Rebirth of the Middle Ages and The End of the World because I was so fed up with that black metal clichés....
Photograph: Catherine McGann We started off being influenced by a lot of the noise bands. We loved The Birthday Party, we loved a lot of punk music. When Rob and I met he loved The Misfits, I loved the Cramps, and we both loved Black Flag. We would...
MORBID ANGEL released their sixth studio album, Gatesways to Annihilation, on this day in 2000 through Earache. ...this one has a better production. We had a better engineer, Jim Morris, he got involved so much more than Tom did in the past. I think this album is, I'm...
The whole "Hallucinations" LP deals with the story of a young girl and her life from 4 years to death by an overdose of heroin. It's a concept album and I think we did a good job to combine the music with the sense of the lyrics. Mathias...
I think the next album is going to be rougher, but it's not going to be noisier. People who are expecting more commercial songs are going to be disappointed. People who are expecting Slayer-sounding songs are going to be disappointed as well. I think a lot of people...
...it's apathy on all levels that is depressing this country. Music has been suffering for years, but today apathy is like a disease that is spreading through every area of life. People seem to be retreating into themselves and becoming selfish, rather than going out and actually doing...
Photograph: Terry Lott Time for me to step into the cold shower again and listen to another one from Altered Images... ALTERED IMAGES recorded their first of three sessions for John Peel's programme on this day in 1980. Peel had first met the group less than a month...
Great roaring post-punk with an abrasive sax, horror themes, and frantic drumming, especially on "Mind Disease." "Nine" is more arty and hence less effective, but these guys have real potential. For early KILLING JOKE fans. Maximum Rocknroll #3, 1982 RITUAL released the Mind Disease 7" on this day...
There's always been a development in our band. When you create the songs, you have aims. And these aims are something you reach for when you shape an album. It means a lot to reach our aims. When we did "Mardraum", it meant a lot to us to...
This war theme has always been around us. If you read newspaper every day and watch TV shows every day, there is always a war raging. I just wanna describe wars; I can't write anything about World War II because of Germany. I use the Vietnam War because...
This is, as far as I know, the earliest DANZIG live footage! On this day in 1988 at Sheffield City Hall. supporting METALLICA. Six dates into their Not of This World Tour which began in Edinburgh on the 24th. After 14 UK dates the band returned to the...
I used to say Joyless was a Black Metal band trying to make pop-music. Not entirely true obviously, but not too far off the map either. We were sick to death with everything concerning Forgotten Woods. Instead of changing Forgotten Woods, we gave it all a new name....
