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.

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...

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...

21 Years Ago: EMPEROR release IX Equilibrium

I think the new album is a bit beyond the terms of Black Metal. We have used a more "all over" Metal influence, ranging from strict Heavy to Trash/Death Metal. After finishing an album, there are always things one could have wished to do differently, but I feel...

40 Years Ago: DEF LEPPARD release On Through the Night

You know, that first record, Tom Allom produced it, God bless him. Lovely guy and a good producer. But I think his instructions from the record label must have been something like, "Just capture the band's energy, man." We'd been playing most of those songs live for 18...
