24 Years Ago: ISENGARD release Vinterskugge

I never meant for Vinterskugge (Winter Shadow) to be a usual album, it was bound to be a round-up of tracks from the get go. I always thought the Spectres over Gorgoroth demo from summer of '89 was too good to just wither away on some tapes, gathering...

21 Years Ago: EMPEROR live in Bergen

Well, I don't think we'll tour that much, as we really hope to record a new album during 1998. Of course, we do wish to go to the States for some touring, probably a short tour. And we might go for a short tour of Australia. Our plan...

21 Years Ago: ENSLAVED release Eld

In this year fierce, foreboding omens came over the land of the Northumbrians, and the wretched people shook; there were excessive whirlwinds, lightning, and fiery dragons were seen flying in the sky. These signs were followed by great famine, and a little after those, that same year on...

22 Years Ago: SETHERIAL release Nord...

I am still very proud of our first album, we managed to make a great debut album during a period where bands after bands were releasing total crap, and I feel satisfied knowing that, especially considering our lack of experience and such things at that time.- Kraath /...

15 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...

Yeah, I see ABRUPTUM releasing LP's, and that is already planned. Our debut album will be released by OCCULTUS & EURONYMOUS (Only EURONYMOUS) but I don't think it will be release by D.S.P., and it will be absolutely not to get in any normal record store. The album...

Anyway, we had to make a move, because "War and Pain" had been released more than a year, before we decided to enter the studio and record "RRROOOAAARR". Our material had been ready for a long time and we were looking forward to listening to our new songs....

33 Years Ago: BULLDOZER release The Day of Wrath

We always write about our real experiences. We never invented an honour story or a satanic rite. That's why we're not a "Black Metal" band. "The Exorcism" is a real personal story, and that goes for the other songs - they're real experiences that we (or I) happen...
