The members disguised...

30 Years Ago: BIG BLACK live in London (Video & Tour Diary extracts)

I am now quite happy to be breaking up. Things getting much too big and uncontrollable. All along we've wanted to keep our hands on everything, so nothing happened that we didn't want to. With international multi-format/multi-territorial shit, that's proving elusive. I prefer to cut it off rather...

31 Years Ago: DEATH begin recording Scream Bloody Gore in Florida (the aborted first session)

...we actually recorded an earlier version in Florida during the summer of '86 that came out so shitty sound-wise, that Combat wrote it off as a mistake and sent us to Los Angeles to do it right. I almost wish I had kept my cassette of the old...

21 Years Ago: DESASTER live at Baroeg, Rotterdam

A good live act needs a few things. At first it's important that the band is able to play the stuff from the record live as well. There the problems start for many, because in the studio they need so much technical shit and 20 guitars so that...
