Yeah, I was pretty much fed up with everything! It just didn't work out the whole thing but I do kept going 'cause Bob quit and I had some other guys. I did do a demo and stuff with me doing the vocals and lead guitar.- Mike Torrao...

Þat kann ek it ellifta:ef ek skal til orrostuleiða langvini,und randir ek gel,en þeir með ríki faraheilir hildar til,heilir hildi frá,koma þeir heilir hvaðan. Released on this day in 1996, the title of FALKENBACH's debut album was taken from a line in the poem Hávamál. Hávamál (sayings of...
At that time I was keen on Celtic mythologies and Druids' mysticism. I lived in a world of my imagination and my spirituality and I did not pay any attention to the outside world. I prayed to Gods on holy Samhain night. All these things had great impact...
When we were choosing the cover we wanted a red very intense yet abstract picture. We couldn't find any picture which filled our wishes, so Anders and his father took the picture themselves. It's a picture of a hand holding an onyx (kind of a stone). There is...
150 minute VHS transfer. Live in Ostrava (now in Czech Rep.) on this day in 1990, towards the end of the joint ATROSITY and CARCASS European tour. The Symphonies of Blue Blood Euro-Tour travelled from late June until the end of July 1990. ATROSITY had released the Blue...
This was an instantly popular release when it arrived on this day in 2006. LIFELOVER, and this album in particular, influenced a wave of new bands although most lacked the sardonic self-awareness and humour behind these songs of modern urban depression and introspective hate/violence fantasies. The members disguised...
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...
Obscure Seattle speed metal released this month in 1987. The four song 12" Medieval Sorcery is their only release.
I miss John Peel a lot. He was a total legend and I feel so fortunate to have been part of the Peel Sessions history. There are not many people who you can say changed your life, but for me John Peel is definitely one of them. A...
Live on this day in 2000, BLASPHEMY and BLACK WITCHERY. The Friday the 13th Live Ritual was actually our 3rd show since the reformation. BLACK WITCHERY was up here in July 2000ce for our return, they weren't here for the Friday the 13th assault. We did 4 shows...
The figure on the front cover is a sorcerer, an imagined image or spectrum....The being may illustrate the surrendering to death and the beyond. Moon stands for intuition and the Scorpio is a symbol of death....More that you listen and more that you see is helping you to...
Although some of the songs were written as far back as October 1991, FORGOTTEN WOODS recorded their debut demo on this day in 1993.
After only 9 months, early DC hardcore band S.O.A. disbanded. Their only major release was the No Policy EP (1981), one of the earliest Dischord releases. It was ready at the same time Dischord were preparing the first MINOR THREAT EP. With the label unable to fund it,...
...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...
This interview, with a New York radio programme, took place this month in 1985, shortly after their first European tour - a mini tour in May and June. Emperor's Return would be released in a few weeks in the US on Metal Blade. The 15 August date always...
This month in 1996 KATATONIA were in Finspång, Sweden at Dan Swanö's Unisound to record their classic dark doom album Brave Murder Day. KATATONIA had used Unisound for previous releases: Dance of December Souls, For Funerals to Come... and others. After Brave Murder Day they began recording at...

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...
