THE PHANTOM’S DAUGHTER
#7, 8 1/2 x 11, 20pgs, $????
A thoughtful, personal zine on Satanism. Here we have writings on the philosophy and religious merit of Satanism, indulging in ecstasies, women and power, and the all knowing holiday of Holloween. I found myself agreeing and understanding a lot of what was written in here about religion, about love & hate, and on other items. But yet they were nothing new in my spiritual path, even though my belief in Satanism is basically the same as Christianity (which I don’t believe in). there is things from both that have a deeper truth that has been distorted through the years. What ever your path may be is fine with me, as long as it’s done truthfully and without the draining of others alike, etc., etc.....SATANIC PRESSES, 3755 Meadow Place Dr., Houston, TX., 77082, USA

We have writings, articles, whatever the fuck they are, on the going ons in Riverside, NY, which sounds like a place gone to Hell (in that blatent Christian way). Also, there are demoralizing, psychotic bits on religion (which I found funny), sexual perversion, poetry on shit. There’s a lot of weird shit here, which I haven’t finished reading. If your into shit that’s not mundane and fucked all over, get this. RIVERSIDE ART SCENE, P.O. Box 638, Kenmore, NY., 14217, USA.

Now this is a zine! No, not just a zine, but a damn good DIY Punk zine, the way it should be! First off is the heart felt drive in this zine by Dave Liberation to bring back the truthfulness and and only true way of Punk to others out there, Punk or not. I was highly charged by the ‘editorial’ and of the writings herein. First the interviews, here we have good, lengthy ints. with PROPAGANDHI, artist Winston Smith, Ben Weasel, PINK LINCOLNS, and Dr. Strange, The rest of this is articles and rants on things likeracism, what Punk Rock is, public bathroom experience, going to a show, putting out CD’s over 12” records, and more. There’s music, zine, and book reviews, ads, pics, and an interesting selection of quotes. This is the next big thing in zines, if this is the first issue, then I’m afraid of seeing things later when they get it up and really running! BIG BANG, P.O. BOX 17746, Anaheim, CA 92817, USA

KILLNG THE CONFORMIST
#1, 44 pgs, 8 1/2 x 11, $$??
A lot of close minded arrogance in these pages, but hey, we have to have them to make to world go around. It’s partly funny and partly phobic towards homosexuals, non-whites, and other little tid-bits. I had fun reading it though, nothing to beat a boring day at the house. Besides the funny questions and ignorant additude we have interviews with LIVIDITY, STRADION, LUNATIC, DEADEN, Gore-Worm Comics, TOWPATH, and HOT STOVE. There are a bunch of music reviews, poetry that sucks, and ads and such. Pretty interesting without the blantant regard for reality. KILLING THE CONFORMIST, P.O.
