30 Years Ago: DEVISER record Forbidden Knowledge

There is no music direction and no specific sense of style. We are playing with a simply, truly and clearly way. The style is affected differently by each member influences. Don't forget that Deviser started as a one man project band in 1989 by Matt Hnaras in island...

31 Years Ago: XYSMA record Swarming of the Maggots

I didn't know it was a "gore core classic"... but it's nice to know. We didn't expect to become this famous......fortunately we didn't advertise it a whole lot. You see, it's not very funny to tape those demos and send them out. Janitor / Xysma interview, Isten #5,...

40 Years Ago: IRON MAIDEN release Iron Maiden

I started five years ago in the East End of London. At that time, I couldn't find any musicians or contracts so, with Dave Murray (guitar) and Paul Di Anno (vocals), we used to play in East End pubs that don't exist anymore, or even in clubs. Then...

29 Years Ago: GOREMENT record Human Relic

We're satisfied with "Human Relic" demo but the vocals are too down-pitched, especially with our old singer Micke. The sound is quite good, but not really the special sound we're looking for. We want a more brutal and dark sound, we've not really found it, but we'll. ...we've...

SKYCLAD released their second album, A Burnt Offering for the Bone Idol, on this day in 1992 through Noise. ...[the debut album is] essentially a thrash album, with one folk metal tune; we had a violin player to come down and play on that song, and while he...

10 Years Ago: AKITSA release Au crepuscule de l'esperance

It possesses the deepest, most sincere lyrics we've ever written. Musically, it is evolving toward new ground while retaining the fundamental roots of Akitsa. The songs were sporadically recorded at different time periods. This should explain the changes and variation in our sound as the settings were changed...

35 Years Ago: SLAYER, EXODUS & VENOM live at Studio 54 (Ultimate Revenge Tour)

Playing Studio 54 was a real treat; I had heard about that club and the whole Saturday Night Fever disco era, so for the band to play that club was pretty damn cool. For it to be Venom, Slayer, and Exodus, that was definitely the end of the...

22 Years Ago: BEYOND DAWN release Revelry

With Revelry we practiced a lot, played live, started to use a drum machine and got the hang of it. There are some great songs on it. Of course, the sound is very compressed but there are some nice things on it. Espen Ingierd / Beyond Dawn interview,...

35 Years Ago: SONIC YOUTH release Bad Moon Rising

...the direction of our material is more or less dictated by our instruments. After we got back from Europe the last time, we decided we were tired of doing the old set, so we took all the strings off the guitars, threw them around a little bit, put...

20 Years Ago: DARK FUNERAL release Teach Children to Worship Satan

When we decide to do cover songs, there are a few criteria they have to uphold. At first the band/artist and song in itself must have made a sort of impact on us personally. The songs we do should also be musically a bit different from what we...

30 Years Ago: ATROPHY release Violent by Nature

I thought the second album had a lot more to it. First of all the production quality was much better (more money and more time in the studio). We worked extremely hard on it and I thought it had more groove to it while still keeping it fast...
