35 Years Ago: VIO-LENCE release Eternal Nightmare

Yeah, I'm pretty happy with it. I think the drums could've been louder in some parts but other than that, I think it's killer. Yeah, I think it turned out really good. Rob Flynn / Vio-lence interview, Out of the Underground #1, 1989 VIO-LENCE released their debut album,...

25 Years Ago: COVENANT release Nexus Polaris

The meaning of it... directly you can't say... "Nexus" means a connection point between 2 things and "Polaris" has two different means... It's a guiding star, and at the same time it's the name of the first NUCLEAR MISSILE ever made...Compolaris... so... for me, the title means "Progressive...

30 Years Ago: CANNIBAL CORPSE release Hammer Smashed Face

...i don't know what the purpose [of the EP] waz actually, we just wanted to record those songs, and metal blade were interested to see if we could sell something without a gruesome gory cover. Alex Webster / Cannibal Corpse interview, Eruptions From Below #5, 1993 CANNIBAL CORPSE...

20 Years Ago: DARKTHRONE release Hate Them

I have tried to combine my way of playing to get the most darkness out of the riffs. It will contain more and more of the old spirit. The old spirit of Black Metal will be more present than in some years for us you know. Nocturno Culto...

30 Years Ago: BURZUM release Aske

I am satisfied [with Aske] yeah, but it was the second full length album that supposed to be out by now, I guess D.S.P. did not understand that in time. The second LP is recorded in April 1992 and it's getting rather old, it'll be out in September...

25 Years Ago: BEHEMOTH release Pandemonic Incantations

The new songs differ from the ones on Grom. They are surely more mature in each way. You'll see, we've developed as musicians, and it's audible on our new record. It's full of extreme emotions. The sound is also much better than on our previous release. There may...

25 Years Ago: ANGELCORPSE release Exterminate

"Exterminate", our second album, was released at the end of February (1998), I'm not sure when the Aussie release will occur. Expect the album to be everything you know about Angelcorpse only much more obsessive and ripping than ever before. This new album has a lot more blasting...

SATANIC WARMASTER released their second album, Opferblut ("Sacrificial blood"), on this day in 2003 through No Colours.

25 Years Ago: SETHERIAL release Lords of the Nightrealm

First of all, black metal lies in the intellect, not in the tempo. We play fast as we find it most satisfying that way, not for any other reason. No band gets to be a pure black metal act just by playing fast, nor by playing slow. Real...

20 Years Ago: SATYRICON release Volcano

Strong, dark atmospheres, coldness, eeriness - you can expect "Volcano" to invoke this in you. This album is mostly about powerful and quite straightforward Black Metal, with some Thrash and Hardrock elements thrown in. Don't bother so much with how it eventually differs from the other albums or...

RUNNING WILD released their seventh album, Pile of Skulls, on this day in 1992. I think it was back in ninety one when I started reading books about the UFO phenomenon and other phenomenons. ...["Sinister Eyes"] was the first time I had written about that, because I was...

30 Years Ago: D.R.I. release Definition

During the Four of a Kind and Thrash Zone years, we were doing pretty good. We reached a certain point where we weren't getting any higher and lower, so for Definition, we decided to open for a lot of bands - like Ice-T & Body Count and Testament....

25 Years Ago: BURZUM release Daudi Baldrs

Balder's Death is meant to stimulate mortal's ability to think beyond the normally accepted 'truths', to make them think for themselves. Dreams change nothing. Thoughts change nothing either, but perhaps the next album will stimulate mortal's will to act? We need no more dreams. We need no more...

30 Years Ago: BENEDICTION release Dark is the Season

...we don't want to be just one style. If you see the 3 tracks on "Dark..." are all different!! "Foetus Noose" is brutal death metal, "Forged in Fire" is a heavy metal cover version song (by ANVIL - gods!!!) and "Dark Is The Season" is a rumbling doom-laden...

30 Years Ago: AUTOPSY release Acts of the Unspeakable

...the third album will be even more different than before. People will trip on that too because everything is different with whatever phase we're in.The songs are way different, but not like a different style. Certainly not more mellow or anything like that. If anything, its way more...
