20 Years Ago: SUMMONING release Dol Guldur (In Mordor, where the shadows are)

In the midst upon a stony height stands Dol Guldur, where long the hidden Enemy had his dwelling. We fear that now it is inhabited again, and with power sevenfold. A black cloud lies often over it of late. In this high place you may see the two...

21 Years Ago: DARKTHRONE release Total Death (The envy of loosers we piss on)

DARKTHRONE released their sixth album on this day in 1996 through Moonfog. We really didn't do a lot of interviews from 93 and onwards. We sort of came out nowhere with Total Death album, because we've been just keeping low profile.- Fenriz / Darkthrone interview, Fire Goat, 2001...

22 Years Ago: COUNTESS record Ad Maiorem Sathanae Gloriam

During a bitter January week in the year 1995 Orlok recorded the third COUNTESS album, Ad Maiorem Sathanae Gloriam. There is an improvement in songwriting on Ad Maiorem compared to the previous album, but it's still not songwriting that I can be satisfied with to this day. Looking...

30 Years Ago: DEVIATED INSTINCT record Welcome to the Orgy

Recorded at Scoop studio in Norwich with Mark Wyatt during this month in 1987. A lot of the lyrics have fantasy visual imagery to make them more interesting, but the most recent lyrics I've not even bothered with that, and just stuck to personal feelings etc. Obviously, "protest" lyrics...

20 Years Ago: PENTAGRAM (Chile) record their first demo

Early PENTAGRAM demos are killer, and the first was recorded during this month in 1987 at Nacofon studios. I don't remember how much it cost us, but it was a really cheap recording. The drummer had worked at that studio (Nacofon) before so he took us there. When...

Frosty maniacs USURPER released the CD EP Threshold of the Usurper on this day in 1996. Where did you get the picture of the "Threshold Of The Usurper" release from? It looks like an ancient, bloody Aztec ritual or something like that. We ripped that off from a...
