DC Records signs Polish Death Metal band - PRELUDIUM

Diabolical Conquest Records is proud to sign blackened Death Metal band Preludium from Mielec, Poland.

Diabolical Conquest founder Kunal N. Choksi comments, "Most death metal bands today either shamelessly rip-off old school bands or contribute to brutal redundancy. Having promoted Preludium on our webzine before and being aware of their style, I am pleased to be in a position to sign a band that does neither; Preludium play black metal-tinged fast, raw and vicious death metal with an imperial air. I believe this decade old band has great potential and I wish to give them the support and promotion that they deserve."

Preludium guitarist and vocalist Łukasz Dziamarski adds, "We're very proud of the fact that we joined Diabolical Conquest Records. Thanks to Diabolical Conquest's broad experience in promoting bands around the world, we believe that our third album will reach a wider audience. We have great hopes for our partnership."

Interview with Tomas Skogsberg (Sunlight Studios) and Dan Swanö (Unisound Studios and many bands)

"People from all over Sweden (and beyond) travelled for hours upon hours to see Merciless, Grave, Entombed, Sepultura...you name it. And I honestly spent a lot more outside trading demos than I did looking at the bands. And by the time I got like 20 letters a day and recorded death metal demos every weekend in my small 4 track studio...well...I knew something unique had happened to me!" - Swano

"I started the (Sunlight) studio in a pro-way around 86-87 at the age of 26." - Skogsberg

"I love working with the “elders“ like Asphyx and Hail Of Bullets. Most of them are family fathers and this is their one true style of music that they “fall back“ to. Most elders fall back to country or blues or some other stuff. These guys go banging their skulls to pieces armed to their teeth with pointy axes and HM-2 pedals in their forties! Respect!" - Swano

"Death Metal is for me is an unexpected twist in my musicality that has been the key to the life I live now." - Swano

Interview with Robert of the Brutal Death Metal band FERMENTO

"I believe in the hard side of the way, values, sacrifice, discipline, everything is live is a test, real people should be straight and face everything with courage."

"I can't be blamed for people's ignorance. I wrote about elitism, anti system, individualist ideologies and not about NS."

"I hate the business in music, I only believe in the dignity of the musician and their beliefs but most of musicians don't have any dignity or brains."

"We are the most impractical band on earth. Next year it is going to be 20 years since we started as a band and we aren't superstars.. Tell me how many bands with 20 years talk and make facts like us, then call it honour or dignity, call it impractical or whatever you want but we are the truest in our own eyes."

DC Webzine's Best Metal Albums of the Decade 2000-2009

2000 | 2001| 2002 | 2003 | 2004

Unhappy and to a good extent disgusted with the kind of year-end/decade-end lists we got to see, with proud mentions of some utterly embarrassing commercial releases, we thought that coming up with a list of our own was the only way to make us feel good about extreme metal again, and felt more strongly than ever before the urge to bring to the notice of misguided metalheads the best underground albums that were released in the last decade, many which are forgotten or worse, completely overlooked.
