40 Years Ago: JUDAS PRIEST release Sin After Sin (you know, that one about blue eyes and diamonds)

Even though the sound of some of our earlier albums leaves a bit to be desired, I like the tone of the solo in "Raw Deal" and the phrasing in "Last Rose of Summer". I particularly like how "Hear Come The Tears" builds into a climax and joins...

31 Years Ago: MASSACRE release Aggressive Tyrant debut demo

The first demo was recorded at a studio in Tampa. We were clueless 18 year olds. Bill, myself, Alan and Kam. The geeky engineer looked at us like we were nuts when he realized we were so down tuned. Then Kam did his vocals and the engineer really...

27 Years Ago: DISHARMONIC ORCHESTRA release Expositionsprophylaxe

We are absolutely not satisfied with our releases so far. Most of all because of the sound. As for the new album "Expositionsprophylaxe" I must say that this is our best release so far and shows what DISHARMONIC ORCHESTRA are all about. It could have been better soundwise,...

30 Years Ago: VOIVOD release Killing Technology

"Killing Technology" lyrically will be a little more political though. We've never tried to side with one point of view but in the lyrics we like to tell people about nuclear war and polluting the atmosphere and stuff, and "Killing Technology" has quite a bit of that -...

32 Years Ago: VENOM release Possessed

The posters read... BLACK METAL RETURNS Thirteen Power Packed Tracks This month in 1987 VENOM unleashed their fourth album - Possessed. The last VENOM album with Mantas until the mid-90s reunion. I don't think that everybody had enough input, because when we came to record the album, nobody...

26 Years Ago: SAMAEL release Worship Him (in eternal blasphemy)

It was released more than one year ago. Now I think that it could have been better, especially the sound. The experience we have now will be useful for the recording of the next album. About 'Worship Him' I think it's all the same good album.- Masmiseîm /...

33 Years Ago: FLUX OF PINK INDIANS release The Fucking Cunts Treat Us Like Pricks

...the reaction to The Fucking Cunts Treat Us Like Pricks has actually distanced us from punk rock, because most punks, in Britain at least, haven't liked it. But judging from letters and people we've come into contact with, people who aren't into punk have really liked it.We'd never...

We'll begin with FORBIDDEN EVIL in 1988, we did a lot of touring and everything went well. Next, we did TWISTED INTO FORM, then everything went well again. However, somebody wanted to put us in the studio instead of keeping us on tour when TWISTED INTO FORM was...

37 Years Ago: DISCHARGE release Realities of War (CLAY 1)

We had done a few demos with Tez singing, and just gave 'em away really to all our mates. But 'Realities' was the first recording we ever did with Cal. We did it all in one day; it was sent off to the plant the same day we...

24 Years Ago: SATYRICON complete The Forest is My Throne demo

Primitive and barbaric Black Metal, BATHORY-style. This demo is fucking great, even if the drums sound like being handled by a hippopotamus, or some other animal lacking anything close to rhythmical sense!- Frost / Satyricon interview, Voices from the Darkside, 2002 SATYRICON recorded their second demo - The...

24 Years Ago: GRAND BELIAL'S KEY live in Manassas, VA

Yes, the band still consists of only two members. I would prefer to have a full band; but unfortunately, "true people" who can play dark and original riffs are extremely hard to find. We have played live with two session musicians once. Of course, a good stage show...

23 Years Ago: UNHOLY complete recording The Second Ring of Power

For example we have been rehearsing for our second album which AVANTGARDE MUSIC will produce. The reason for changing a label was that Michael Piesch of LETHAL RECORDS unfilled His duties for us. In other words He is a rip-off guy. (I know that too...-ED) Well anyway AVANTGARDE...
