21 Years Ago: LIMBONIC ART release Moon in the Scorpio on Nocturnal Art

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...

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...

22 Years Ago: MOTORHEAD release Sacrifice (12th Album)

MOTÖRHEAD released Sacrifice on this day in 1995. The first and last songs are killer, quite a lot of punk especially early on... and of course heavy rock throughout! Sacrifice was the last MOTÖRHEAD album with Würzel: He only played one solo on the whole album. He was...

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

The new album is more aggressive, but it's also more beautiful and nicer in other ways. Lyrically, it's not so one-sided, and the same with the vocals: there are more atmospheres on the new album. You can say, perhaps, that In the Nightside Eclipse is more whole, as...

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...

26 Years Ago: MORBID ANGEL release Blessed are the Sick

It's a real good album, I like it a lot. It represents two years and we've grown a lot. We've learned a lot about songwriting, what works and what doesn't and how it all comes together in the studio. I'm real happy with it, it's a nice solid...

22 Years Ago: ISENGARD release Hostmorke on Moonfog

As I said, we don't give any interviews and we don't want to talk about anything, especially the Isengard album which is not an especially interesting piece of music. Fenriz speaking just over a year prior to Høstmørke. Vinterskugge and DARKTHRONE's Transilvanian Hunger were soon to be released. And...
