24 Years Ago: ABRUPTUM release Obscuritatem Advoco Amplectere Me on Deathlike Silence Productions

Yeah, I see ABRUPTUM releasing LP's, and that is already planned. Our debut album will be released by OCCULTUS & EURONYMOUS (Only EURONYMOUS) but I don't think it will be release by D.S.P., and it will be absolutely not to get in any normal record store. The album...

31 Years Ago: VOIVOD release Rrroooaaarrr (and there's no chance to save your cracked brain!)

Anyway, we had to make a move, because "War and Pain" had been released more than a year, before we decided to enter the studio and record "RRROOOAAARR". Our material had been ready for a long time and we were looking forward to listening to our new songs....

32 Years Ago: BULLDOZER release The Day of Wrath

We always write about our real experiences. We never invented an honour story or a satanic rite. That's why we're not a "Black Metal" band. "The Exorcism" is a real personal story, and that goes for the other songs - they're real experiences that we (or I) happen...

35 Years Ago: DIAMOND HEAD release Borrowed Time

DIAMOND HEAD released their major label debut on this day in 1982. Lightning to the Nations was the real first album, self-released by the band in 1980 and today much easier to find (as either LttN or The White Album). Borrowed Time is a relatively neglected part of...

40 Years Ago: SEX PISTOLS Sign to A&M for 6 Days and Don't Release God Save the Queen

You don't write "God Save The Queen" because you hate the English race. You write a song like that because you love them, and you're fed up with them being mistreated. The SEX PISTOLS staged the iconic signing on this day in 1977. The band joined A&M after...

30 Years Ago: D.R.I. release Crossover (cross over the line of your stubborn, closed mind)

D.R.I. released their third album on this day in 1987 through Metal Blade Records. As you can hear in the video, bands like D.R.I. were known as metalcore (or thrashcore), a genre term which has come to mean something completely different. As people endlessly seek to classify music into...

36 Years Ago: NEW ORDER release Ceremony (this is why events unnerve me)

Written by JOY DIVISION, released as NEW ORDER on this day in 1981 following Curtis' suicide on 18 May 1980. The lyrics for this song were never written down so the band attempted to use rehearsal recordings - like the one below - to decipher and transcribe the sung words....

Here in Britain Twilight Zone was a non-album single. A double-A side with "Wrathchild". We couldn't afford to pay for another video for 'Twilight Zone', so we did a double A-side, because we knew we were gonna be off touring a lot and, if by any chance they...
