29 Years Ago: AUTOPSY record Critical Madness demo (US Death Metal)

The key to the real heaviness was getting the two guitar attack going. The first demo was a great start, but we of course wanted things to be more brutal and saw to it that we made that happen. Song-wise, there's not any difference on the first demo,...

20 Years Ago: EMPEROR release Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk

32 Years Ago: ABATTOIR release Vicious Attack on Combat (LA Speed Metal)

It did really good. It was a really strong album but because the band lacked support it went nowhere, but it did break the band into the metal scene and showed what the band was all about. Of course this second album is much better, it's still ABATTOIR...

24 Years Ago: BLASPHEMY release Gods of War

There wasn't any kind of a plan really, it was just a collection of leftover songs and a few newer ones that Black Winds wrote on his own. I think maybe Black Priest had to do with some of them too but he didn't stay in the group...
