28 Years Ago: DECOMPOSED record The Funeral Obsession

...Decomposed is a kind of death metal band. The only one in London I think? We may not be? Who knows! We play a weird kind of doom/death with very strange influences from Voivod to Dream Theatre to Confessor and everything!...No band directly influences out music but every...

21 Years Ago: ROTTING CHRIST release Sleep of the Angels

I can not hide that "Sleep of the Angels" has a lot of enemies. The album sold a lot still, but we had lost our reputation as a band. It was an era that I was passing back then and I think that every artist has this right...

25 Years Ago: SENTENCED release Amok

Yes, you either like it or definitely not like it. Amok is a release that forces you to a definite opinion, and usually they are from both extremes! To me the negative reaction is just as flattering as the positive. Taneli Jarva / Sentenced interview, Word of Mouth...

20 Years Ago: AKERCOCKE release Rape of the Bastard Nazarene

...it's like an account of the early days of the band, of the formation of the band. We had a very isolated upbringing; all we knew was the music we had been into in 1990/1991 when Jason and I played in our last band, Salem Orchid. So we...

33 Years Ago: TAPPI TIKARRASS release Miranda

It shows how things were operating at the time. We weren't really into marketing or anything, we were just doing it. Even though [the album release] was the night before Christmas, it didn't matter! It was still about having fun and doing whatever we wanted to do. The...

31 Years Ago: VOIVOD live in Montreal (A Flawless Structure)

We were extremely worried when Piggy was ill with cancer, it gave us a big shock to find that something like that could just come to the surface like that. We've become mote health conscious, we've grown closer together, personally and musically, and now after this record, which...

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),...

30 Years Ago: GOREFEST record Tangled in Gore

We were all really proud of that tape, and I think we captured something that struck a chord with a lot of people in the dutch death metal scene. It might have been the catchiness of the tunes, which in turn came from the bare and basic song...

Virgin released Sid Sings, a posthumous Sid Vicious solo record cash-in on this day in 1979. Danny Baker, in the NME, started his review with: If rock 'n' roll had any backbone it would close Virgin Records down. The majority of Sid Sings is made up of live...
