![]( "Terrorizer 244 - 2013 the year that was, and what's happening in 2014")
In January's brand new Terrorizer, we look ahead to all the amazing music on its way in the coming year, giving you masses of examples of why 2014 will be a great year for extreme music. We speak to Tom G Warrior about TRIPTYKON'S earth-shattering new work, discover from Jus Oborn how the new ELECTRIC WIZARD album is sounding, and hear from Alex Webster about CANNIBAL CORPSE'S dark new record. We also get the latest from ANAAL NATHRAKH, TESTAMENT, NAPALM DEATH, ARCH ENEMY, DECAPITATED, GRAND MAGUS, EXODUS and many, many more.
We also look back at what ruled in 2013, with our experts delivering their verdicts with the Critics' Poll, and you – our passionate readers – telling us what kicked ass this year (and what sucked, for good measure) in the Readers' Poll. Who were the best bands? The best records? The best festivals? The bold new acts? The abominable puddles of effluent you wish you could flush? It's all revealed here.
We talk to Jon Schaffer and Stu Block from ICED EARTH about why heavy metal is much smarter than people think, and why there's more to their imagery than just zombie horror. We talk to the Nameless Ghouls of GHOST B.C. about their amazing year, and YEAR OF NO LIGHT explain why total creative freedom can also present surprising challenges.
We put Sakis Tolis from ROTTING CHRIST and Alan Averill from TWILIGHT OF THE GODS and PRIMORDIAL to the test with our Hard Of Hearing, and discover what band one of them would rather pull his fingernails out than listen to. KATATONIA'S Jonas Renkse tells us his favourite songs, KRISIUN reveal the challenges they faced getting anyone to care back when Sepultura was the only Brazilian band the music industry cared about, and HELLFEST reveal how they managed to book… well, everyone, basically.

Terrorizer Presents The Devil's Music... the definitive story of the influence of the dark side on music:
THE DEVIL’S MUSIC
Musicians making pacts with The Devil – it’s happened throughout time. We flip through the history books to investigate just how much the horned one has enjoyed dabbling in the creative arts.
COVEN
Death threats, ritualistic sex and an album that turned rock music on its head forevermore. The ultimate witch of Rock Jinx Dawson reveals all.
DOOM
From Black Sabbath to Cathedral to Electric Wizard, the doom movement’s relationship with the darkside is explored and dissected.
BLACK SABBATH
Pioneers of the metal world, and a band that brought fear into God botherers everywhere – former drummer Bill Ward looks back at their illustrious career.
MERCYFUL FATE
30 years since it was unleashed we celebrate Mercyful Fate’s ‘Melissa’ and its follow-up ‘Don’t Break The Oath’ with an in-depth reflection of both albums from frontman and metal legend King Diamond.
THE CULTURE OF DARK, SATANIC AND RITUALISTIC MUSIC
Rituals, pentagrams, Satanic Bibles – we dissect the elements of evil and the culture that exists.
THE DEVIL’S FLICKS
Winterfylleth’s Simon Lucas explores the (un)healthy relationship between heavy metal and horror movies and looks at some of the most vital horror and occult-inspired films. Are you sitting comfortably?
BLACK METAL
Satanism, goats, sacrifices… Black metal is a genre of essential Hell songs. Tracing the origins of the genre and celebrating the forefathers; Cradle of Filth’s Dani Filth recounts tales of the second generation, and we finish off looking at the pure ritualistic side of this ultimately evil genre.
CRONOS
His band is called Venom, he’s been at war with Satan, he’s been possessed, and he invented black metal – this is the world created by Cronos!
DISSECTION
In one of the last times he was interviewed for Terrorizer, Dissection’s frontman Jon Nödtveidt talks about his interest in Satanism.
ABSU
Masters of magick and rituals, Absu’s dark lord Proscriptor McGovern talks all things esoteric.
HIGH PRIESTESSES - GIRLS UNDER THE OATH
Without all-powerful women leading the charge, the Left Hand Path would not be a path worth treading. We celebrate the dominant force in occult rock.
KING DIAMOND
The Godfather of Evil – King Diamond talks frankly about being the true Dark Lord of Metal!
NWOBHM
The world’s most important movement in the history of heavy metal was steeped in bands celebrating the dark side – from Satan to Hell, Witchfyde to Demon. But just how dark were our British bands? We talk to the pioneers to find out.
HELL
Straight from the fiery pits, Hell’s Kev Bower recalls the origins of the band that were in league with Lucifer – at least by name association.
SATAN
Upsetting the local vicar, a band so evil they named their band after the Dark Lord himself. Satan frontman Brian Ross lifts the lid on these ‘evil’ times.
THE DEVIL’S TUNES
We bring you the 75 most essential Luciferian jams that’ll have you signing your pact and dancing with the devil for all eternity.
A-Z OF DEVIL’S MUSIC
C is for Church Burning but what about the rest of the alphabet? Taking the devil’s music right back to basic principles.
WHITE METAL
Does The devil have all the best tunes? Perhaps there is some goodness on the other side.
PAGANISM
Martin Walkyier – frontman with Sabbat/ Skyclad and The Clan Destined – looks at an alternative to the darkside – Paganism.
JAZ COLEMAN
As the leader of Killing Joke, Jaz Coleman has recorded music in Egyptian Pyramids, dabbled in the occult and has a plethora of stories to tell having survived it all!
IN SOLITUDE
Sweden’s rising metallers In Solitude discuss the inspiration of Satanism in their world in this classic Terrorizer interview.
NEW SACRIFICES: THE DEVIL’S NEW BREED
The Devil’s grip on music isn’t letting up just yet – from Ghost to Satan’s Wrath to Year Of The Goat – we raise our horns to the bands that continue to Hail Satan!

In this month’s brand spanking new Terrorizer, we take Black Metal’s frosty temperature with some of the creative forces that birthed it. Emperor’s former mainman IHSAHN, God Seed/ex-Gorgoroth shrieker GAAHL, Carpathian Forest’s TCHORT and Cradle Of Filth’s ever-controversial frontman DANI FILTH all speak about what black metal is, how it reached this point, and where it is going – and answer whether heavy metal’s most evil style can survive.
Definitely still alive are death metal masters AUTOPSY, who discuss with Terrorizer how they have kept the fire. We find ORPHANED LAND in pensive mood in their quest to banish hate from the Middle-East, while AMON AMARTH remind us that their songs may be catchy, but they still sing about bloody death in fire.
Mental Italian black metallers ABORYM tell us how the seedy side of America and Italian polluters inspired their new album, SKINNY PUPPY discuss their music being used Guantanamo Bay torture and WHITE WIZZARD try and bolt their revolving door of personnel.
Norwegian prog metallers LEPROUS step out from under Ihsahn’s considerable shadow, CHTHONIC fight to bring their music to the world and Isis and Deftones members team up for PALMS. We discuss the very different but equally excellent approaches to black metal of SHADE EMPIRE and SVART CROWN, delve into the past with NECROPSY and put NYHC legends VISION OF DISORDER to the test in Hard Of Hearing. We also talk to the hero/madman behind grindcore heaven OBSCENE EXTREME.
New bands on the Choice Cuts slab this month include FULL OF HELL, DEMON LUNG and DEATHCHAIN, we select and dissect new albums from AUTOPSY, CHTHONIC, DEAFHEAVEN and JEX THOTH, and take in DESERTFEST, SWR, NEUROTIC DEATHFEST, MARYLAND DEATHFEST and DEVIN TOWNSEND.

This month marked Terrorizer's 20th anniversary, so to celebrate, we called up some of our most well-informed friends to discuss everything that has happened, everything that has changed and everything that is still to come. We talk to NAPALM DEATH'S Shane Embury; the man, the legend that is Mr Tom G. Warrior of CELTIC FROST and TRIPTYKON; the living death metal encyclopaedia Trevor Strnad of THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER and some even more familiar faces…
But that is only the beginning. We talk to DEICIDE frontman Glen Benton, about why the band are actually a bunch of nice guys, and why they finally split with Ralph Santolla. We talk to HELL about having to prove they're a creative, current band and not a retro pastiche, and reminisce with Max Cavalera about the recording of SEPULTURA classic 'Chaos A.D.'.
We chat to NIGHTWISH about trying to find stability, and why they might do anything from death metal to reggae on their next album. We find that there is life after Candlemass for Leif Edling as AVATARIUM find their feet, discover why metalheads are the most open-minded music fans with post-punk's new stars BEASTMILK, and discover how NECROPHOBIC are feeling after their recent dramas.
Post-metal collective THE OCEAN are pitted against Norwegian black metal/jazz lunatics SHINING in our Hard Of Hearing test, GLORIOR BELLI explain why a French black metal band playing music that sounds like it's from the US' Deep South is actually authentic, ROSETTA explain why they want musicians to kill the music industry and the death metal filth of DARK DESCENT RECORDS is profiled.
In January's brand new Terrorizer, we look ahead to all the amazing music on its way in the coming year, giving you masses of examples of why 2014 will be a great year for extreme music. We speak to Tom G Warrior about TRIPTYKON'S earth-shattering new work, discover from Jus Oborn how the new ELECTRIC WIZARD album is sounding, and hear from Alex Webster about CANNIBAL CORPSE'S dark new record. We also get the latest from ANAAL NATHRAKH, TESTAMENT, NAPALM DEATH, ARCH ENEMY, DECAPITATED, GRAND MAGUS, EXODUS and many, many more.
We also look back at what ruled in 2013, with our experts delivering their verdicts with the Critics' Poll, and you – our passionate readers – telling us what kicked ass this year (and what sucked, for good measure) in the Readers' Poll. Who were the best bands? The best records? The best festivals? The bold new acts? The abominable puddles of effluent you wish you could flush? It's all revealed here.
We talk to Jon Schaffer and Stu Block from ICED EARTH about why heavy metal is much smarter than people think, and why there's more to their imagery than just zombie horror. We talk to the Nameless Ghouls of GHOST B.C. about their amazing year, and YEAR OF NO LIGHT explain why total creative freedom can also present surprising challenges.
We put Sakis Tolis from ROTTING CHRIST and Alan Averill from TWILIGHT OF THE GODS and PRIMORDIAL to the test with our Hard Of Hearing, and discover what band one of them would rather pull his fingernails out than listen to. KATATONIA'S Jonas Renkse tells us his favourite songs, KRISIUN reveal the challenges they faced getting anyone to care back when Sepultura was the only Brazilian band the music industry cared about, and HELLFEST reveal how they managed to book… well, everyone, basically.
If that's still not enough to get you excited, this month's issue also includes:
SÓLSTAFIR
BLACK BREATH
NILE
AMENRA
SABATON
ALCEST
THE WOUNDED KINGS
FALKENBACH
LEGION OF THE DAMNED
SATAN'S WRATH
CELESTE

The dark lord has returned. In February’s fiery new Terrorizer, BEHEMOTH frontman Nergal talks to us about Satan – what it means to him, and what the true meaning is behind new album ‘The Satanist’. He talks finding inspiration in dark places, the sinister side of his nature, and not caring if he alienates everyone.
Black metal legends MAYHEM bring us an explosive, exclusive report on their tour of South America, which featured cross-dressing prostitutes, expectations of death, and trying to use the bathroom when there is no bathroom and you are in crocodile country. WITHIN TEMPTATION tell us why they worked with Xzibit, and why the phrase “female-fronted metal” should be taken out back and shot.
Swedish rifflords GRAND MAGUS explain the difference between sticking to your guns and complacency. ALCEST mastermind Neige tells exactly why they have left metal behind entirely, and why they were never truly a black metal band. And Dani Filth leads us back into the fog as CRADLE OF FILTH’S debut album is remembered in our Dark Recollections.
AMON AMARTH do battle with a Viking-themed Hard Of Hearing, and death metal brutalitsts BENIGHTED explore psychosis and hideous violence in lyrics. SLOUGH FEG talk technology, humour in metal and the promiscuity of philosophers, and INDIAN tell us why their miserabler-than-all doom is a reflection of their lives.

CROWBAR
ORANGE GOBLIN
KAMPFAR
EXHUMED
DRIPBACK
MAYAN
