De Principii Evangelikum is another stone to the edifice, yet not the final one, just taking part of those pillars, making sure the schrei X kathedral is still standing and holding the void. MkM / Antaeus interview, Darkened Zine, 2002 ANTAEUS released their second album on this day...
...I haven't even talked to the guys about this, what this album sounds like. I've been sitting here trying to think about what to say. The best thing I can come up with is that it's kinda like a mixture between the first and second album but it's...
Part of the first generation of thrash mtal bands from Rio de Janeiro, METRALION, completed recording their debut album, Quo Vadis, on this day in 1987 at Master Estudio.
All of these changes through the years are important for us, but playing what we play now is very important. We have molded our music. When we started off we were very young; we played black metal and we thought it was so cool. It was. The second...

KAMPFAR released their debut album, Mellom skogkledde aaser, on this day in 1997 through Malicious Records. ...as for that album [cover artwork] the story is that a French guy did the cover and he mixed it up a bit, and just found a picture that he thought fit...
Originally available on tape, NOKTURNAL MORTUM released their debut album - Goat Horns - on this day in 1997 through Polish label Morbid Noizz. It was released on CD in March the next year by American label The End Records (now part of BMG) and Nuclear Blast.
As a whole, it was received well. Of course some said the sound was a bit poor, but that I don't care about, I like raw!! It's a demo, do they expect CD quality production?? The only complaints were on the vocals being too screamy, but at the...
...when we started, we never thought 'Wow, this sounds really different to everybody else!' It was only when we started getting letters through saying 'You're fucking brilliant' and this sort of thing, that we started thinking fucking hell! You know? Dick Lucas / Subhumans interview, Sounds 22 January...
Some songs we work are very difficult to write. It's not easy to put an eerie atmosphere around the songs. Frank & Rene are the riff writers and together we tight the songs. We are always try to develop a tragic and doomy atmosphere. The real feeling must...
Yes the second LP called "Horror of the Zombies" will be out by June 5th! The delay is for no real reason, the payment to the studio was a little late and it held things up some, also it took longer to put the cover and layout together...
I think it'll be available in August sometime, because the place where we're gonna copy the demos has closed for the summer so we just have to wait. We will also have one track on some compilation tapes but I don't know when they're going to be released....

THE THIRD AND THE MORTAL released their fourth and final album, Memoirs, on this day in 2002.
I thought it was a bit strange that Peel was so keen on our track, because there were much more established and capable bands on the record, like Glaxo Babies, Joe Public and The X-Certs. I spoke to John for the first time, a few years ago, pointing...
