GROWLING BRUTALITY - “Issue # 5” *48 pages*A4 size*Xeroxed*Side stapled* $4 CDN./$4 US World* Here’s a cool old veteran fanzine. Interviews are pretty good and of decent length & are with: Below, Paradigma, The Great Kat, Merlin, and Zaraza. Also featured is an article on classical composer Bedrich Smetana, as well as small articles on “Mysterious Places” which is a cool read. Over 100 well thought out, descriptive reviews(Including some of mine). G.B. ‘zine, c/o Steve Poupart, P.O. Box 62, Valleyfield, Quebec, J6S 4V5, CANADA

METAL RULES! - “Issue # 2” *42 pages* A4 size*Xeroxed*Center stapled*$ 4US/$ 6 World* Jeff is a super cool guy and I was happy to trade ‘zines with him. There are a couple fun special sections like scene reports, many photos of Jeff himself and many with tv/movie stars, Email Wars, & a story about getting drunk and meeting Stuttering John. I was also initially going to compliment Jeff on his nice clean layout, except he doesn’t do the layout! Two of his friends do the layout (they are also listed as editors, I hope only copy editing as otherwise it would pretty lame). Jeff’s reviews are the ‘zines strong point as they are extremely funny and entertaining! Interviews are: Steve Vai (Too bad I’m not a fan as this interview is epic lengthed and you know how I love that!!), Wizard, Poets Of Plague, Amon Amarth, Erytrosy. Oh yeah, I have to say the font is too large, it is a waste of content. Metal Rules!, c/o Jeff Rappaport, 2116 Sandra Road, Voorhees, NJ. 08043, USA Email = metaljef@cyberenet.net

METAL MAFIA - “Issue # 5” *60 pages* A4 size*Photo-copied*Side stapled* Here is a cool ‘zine, ran by two (now three) dedicated metalhead chicks. I enjoyed reading this bad ass mag, the reviews are good and include live reviews (Milwaukee Metalfest, Cleveland World Series Of Metal ect.) alongside the demo/CD reviews. Inties are: Insatanity, Gothic, Somnus, Nile, Internal Bleeding, Avernus, artist P.J. Skoggins, Disfigured, and Sacrilege Newsletter. I believe Dea may be sold out but I have a couple copies on my distro list. Metal Mafia, c/o Dea Evenbeck, Box 5101, Fostoria, OH. 44830-5101, USA
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
DON’T BURN THE WITCH - “Issue # 1” *32 pages*A4 size*Pro Printed (Glossy pages)*Center stapled*$5 US World* Here is this ‘zines debut attack, it receives my respect straight off. Due to it’s moniker like mine is named after something Venom (my fave band of all time) related. Nice strong start. Besides a German scene report and an article on the Occultist Stanislas de Guatia, in addition to over 30 descriptive demo/CD/live reviews. Inties are: Anubi, Melechesh, Desaster, Zephyrous, Song D’ Enfer, Eosteric. 2nd issue is out by now I think!? Don’t Burn The Witch, c/o Flagellu, P.O. Box 647, Criciuma, SC. 88801970, BRAZIL
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
UNRESTRAINED! - “Issue # 6” *56 pages*A4 size*Pro Printed (Glossy b&w cover*$3 US/$4 World* Finally got a copy of this mag, tho’ I was surprised to see 80% of the writers also write for Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles (Glossy national Canadian metal magazine). Very nice and pro layout (but has some blank gaps which wastes space). The reviews include demo/CD/horror movies, and a Milwaukee Metalfest review and all are well done. Inties tend to cover more mainstream-ish metal and include: Death, Sepultura, Fear Factory, Bruce Dickinson, The Haunted, Iced Earth, Gehenna, Witchery, Benumb, Sentenced, V.O.D., Crowbar, Helloween, Primordial, Evergrey, Monster Voodoo Machine, Lesser Known, Nitemare, Dillinger Escape Plan, all are interesting but too brief for my tastes, personally. Unrestrained!, c/o Adam Wasylyk, 3150 Spring Creek Crescent, Mississauga, Ontario, L5N 4S2, CANADA

PERNICIOUS - “Oct.-Dec. 1998 Issue” *60 pages*A4 size*Xeroxed*Side stapled* Free* This is the double length anniversary edition of this newsletter/’zine. What a read it is! Not many reviews but all are pretty much demos and all interviews are w/ demo bands. Offbeat and great inties w/: Awful, Enmortem, Cerebral Turbulency, Limits Of Nestient, Biolich, Imperial Doom, Entorturement, Pandemia, Mortaja, Needful Things, Ironia, Impacto Fecal, Amorbital, Psychopathia, Martyrium Christ, Dethroned, Cenotaph(Turk), Morgue, Brutal Dissection, Turning Black, T.O.O.H., Peversist. All, brutal death/grind to the max. Don’t be cheap and send a buck for postage even if it is free! Pernicious, c/o Eamon, 1101 Midland St., Uniondale, NY. 11553, USA
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
BRUTALIZED - “Issue # 6” *80 pages*A4 size*Newsprint (Glossy b&w cover)*Center stapled*$3 US/$5 World* Tits! I got a new issue of Brutalized to mentally headbang to!! This mag exudes metal and all of it’s glorious virtues. This issue has nearly doubled it’s normal page count, even more brutality and charismatic writing to go ‘round. Short but interesting chats include: Morta Skuld, Neuraxis, Pessimist(Good long chat, one of Phil’s best so far), Divination, Hammerfall, Iniquity, Lividity, Edenrot, Primal Fear, Dying Fetus, Midnight 666 Records, Jungle Rot, Disgorge, Deceased, Sabbatic Feast, Cannibal Corpse, Immolation. Also hundreds of solid CD/demo/7” reviews and a cool guest review of the Milwaukee Metalfest. Brutalized, c/o Phil Nauman, P.O. Box 886, Lebanon, PA. 17042, USA
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
LEATHER ‘N SPIKES - “Issue # 2” *32 pages*A4 size*Xeroxed*Center stapled*$3 US/$4 World* Cool cover art, by editor Catherine (she is selling her artwork too, write her for prices). Especially considering her age (15) this is well done. Other than some space waste - no complaints. I guess I better mention that there is a 60/40 English/French language split in the writing. Interviews are: Bethlehem, Impaled Nazerene, Brutal Truth, Martyr, Moonlyght, Iconoclasm, Heic Noenum Pax. Only a handful of demo/album/ live reviews but there is also a Sodom discography and a cool metal crossword. Good foundation to build from. L. ‘N Spikes, c/o Catherine, 35 Brousseau, Loretteville, Quebec, G2A 2R2, CANADA Email = clac@quebectel.com
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
INTELLEKTUAL SPEW - “Issue # 5” *64 pages*A4 size*Newsprint*Center stapled* $2US/$4 World* If you read my 2nd issue than you know I love this ‘zine! This time around even more mental thrashing is induced and that is saying something. If memory serves this time there are more pics, which is cool. Like the last one inties range from short to long but always interesting. This time they include: …And Oceans, Arch Enemy, Assuck, Avulsed, Boobie Hatch, Brutalized ‘zine, Damaged, Deaden, Incantation, Martyr (this Canadian band never bothered to answer my letter!?), Mental Home, Morticite, Odes Of Ecstasy, Pessimist, Rotten Sound, Scepter, Sculptured & The End Records. This is in the mandatory category. I heard this might be the last issue I hope not! I. Spew, c/o Bart, P.O. Box 785, Cookeville, TN. 38503, USA Email = bart@tnaccess.com
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
LITTLE BOUNCING BUNNIES - “Issue # 1” *24 pages*A5 size*Xeroxed*Center stapled*$1 US/$2 World* This is a cool, fucked up little ‘zine. A bit retarded and chaotic but I dig that. Inties: Pernicious ‘zine, Pissed Midgets, Poets Of The Plague. Along side some interesting articles (MTV , Nazism, ect.) and general ranting plus a few reviews & cartoons. Not a ton to read but good and the price is right. L.B.B. ‘zine, c/o Fluffy G., P.O. Box 7892, Atlantic City, NJ. 08203, USA
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
LAST JUDGEMENT - “Newsletter # 6” *16 pages*A4 size*Newsprint*Center glued*$1 US/$2 World* Nice solid publication Shane has put together and the maturity of being on his 6th issue shows. I may not always agree with his reviews but they are descriptive and his writing style is good. The interviews he choose this time were all w/ bands of great interest to me: Gorguts, Skitzo, and Cannibal Corpse. Last Judgement, P.O. Box 692, Arkansas, KS. 67005, USA
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
METAL MAFIA - “Issue # 6” *32 pages* A4 size*Newsprint*Center glued*$3 US/ $4 World* Great ‘zine! Jill Girardi of Razorback Records has come on board and well I guess I don’t need to tell you, read the epic intie w/ all 3 editors in this issue. Some really fun interviews in this issue, featured bands (all of them American) include: The New Breed, Lividity, Garden Of Shadows, The Reefer Hut, Adnauseum, D.A.G., Skinned, Intellektual Spew ‘zine. Reviews are pretty brief but get the point across nicely and even include a review of the Ohio deathfest, alongside a couple comical cartoons. The font could have been a bit smaller but that is nit-picking. Get this thru me(for $1US/$2 World) or the addresses in the interview and get it now!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
METAL CURSE - “Issue # 11” *42 pages* A4 size*Pro-Printed(White stock)*Center stapled*$5 US/$7 World* Another fine issue from one of the longest ongoing ‘zines out there. M.C. believe as I do small font = more material for the reader and that is cool. The inties are handled w/ great poise and class and include: Mercyful Fate, King Diamond, The Great Kat, Jello Biafra (worth the price alone!), Unleashed, Skepticism, Sigh, Hellwitch, & Hemdale. Over 750 fucking reviews!! Which is a crazy amount for one issue but I guess when you take a year or more between prints things tend to pile up. I can understand and sympathize with that fact. This comes with a free comp CD and Ray Miller, deserves your support he is one dedicated motherfucker. Metal Curse, P.O. Box 302, Elkhart, IN. 46515-0302, USA
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
METAL-CORE - “Issue # 25” *44 pages* A4 size*Newsprint*Center glued*$2 US (postage)* Chris is back, I am happy and proud to say with a batch of new, always in-depth and interesting inties (he is pretty much my fave interviewer in the scene): The Chasm, Agent Steel, Bloodfeast, Metal Nightmare ‘zine, & Grimoire Of Exalted Deeds ‘zine. There are a bunch of reviews but all are short, but as Chris told me “I can’t do long reviews as it isn’t really in me, it wouldn’t be honest writing”. I can respect that, I also greatly respect him for having the longest running ‘zine in North America (since 1986 bitch!!). A true metal warrior. You need this and it is free just send postage. Metal-Core, c/o Chris Forbes, 13 Carriage Ln., Marlton, NJ. 08053-1109, USA Email = metalCzine@aol.com
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
DESTROYING ANGELS - “Issue # ?” *34 pages*A4 size*Xeroxed*Center stapled* Different but good ‘zine here. It mainly prints any cool articles, news clippings ect. that it comes across. Also, a interview Joe Coleman and artwork done by editor Dennis Dread and others, nice change of pace. Destroying Angels, c/o Dennis Dread, Box 40667, Portland, OR. 97240-0667, USA
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
MIDWEST METAL - “Issue # 19” *48 pages*A4 size*Newsprint*Center stapled* $2 US/$4 World* Not sure but if memory serves this started out as a newsletter. Don’t quote me on that though. The layout is nicely done and easy to read, the reviews are descriptive and I like the writer’s styles. There is an article here by the editor Tom eloquently entitled “Fuck” and it is his rant about everything that pisses him off in the scene (I had actually thought of doing a similar article in my last issue but ran out of space). Inties are good but too short for me personally as they struggle to fill up a page (but some people like it that way I guess): Vader, Benumb, Madball, Crowbar, Fury Of 5, Cradle Of Filth, and Necropolis Records. Midwest Metal, 120 Broadview Vill. Sq., Suite 406, Broadview, IL. 60153, USA Email = Tvader666@aol.com
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
FREEZING FLAMES - “Issue # 3 (July ’98)” *52 pages*A3 size*Pro-printed (Glossy)*Center stapled* Damn, now this is a fine piece of work! It is all very pro layed out, clear photos and unlike ‘zines like SOD, Sloth ect. the contents equal the fine aesthetics. Inties have interesting questions and flow and include: Division 187, Nighsky Bequest, Seinburgen, Forsth, Acheron, Infernal Majesty, Castrum, Forgotten Silence (great epic one here!), ITN, Warhead Records, Benighted Leams, Fluerety, Enchanted, Burzum (Am I the only one who thinks this guy is an idiot!?), Abyss Productions, Withering Surface, Canvasser, EUZ Prod., & Terrae Sole Calentes. Reviews are long and descriptive and cover demo/CD/ live alongside the most exhaustive ‘zine review section I have ever seen! True U.G. supporters! One of the more superior fanzines in the scene today - you must have this. Freezing Flames, c/o Laszlo Kaposvari, Corvin u. 17. II/2, H-3530 Miskolc, HUNGRY. *I lost the paper with the price on it but $5 US should more than cover it.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Corpse Gristle - “Issue # 2” *48 pages*A4 size*Pro-printed(color glossy cover)* Center stapled*$5 US World* Dig that name! What you get are some fairly interesting chats with: Internal Bleeding, Suffocation, Deicide, Morbid Angel, Cryptopsy, Immortal Suffering, Prophecy, Viral Load, Crucifixion, Six Feet Under, Damnable, & gore artist Zig. If you like lots of cool gore art too this is the ‘zine for you. I see room for improvement and better use of space but besides that a solid fleshy ‘zine for all brutal death/gore metallers to sink their teeth into. Corpse Gristle, c/o Hound, 3521 Oak Lawn Ave., Suite 666, Dallas, TX. 75219, USA Email = hound@corpsegristle.com
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
INNER VOID (Hard Music Journal) - “Issue # 2” *52 pages*A4 size*Newsprint (b/w glossy cover)* Center stapled*$3 US*
I always hated that term ‘hard music’, it was (when it was first introduced) nothing but a term to sway metalheads away from real metal and towards alternative/ grunge shit. This is one killer mag though. The interviews are brief but interesting & include: Stuck Mojo(zzz…), One Life Crew, Fleshtized, Crush Efekt, Regurgitation, Broken Hope, In Flames, Compression, and Pissed Midgets. I thought it was cool chuck has a big listing of radio shows/stations who play metal to help bands wanting to get their name out. Also cannot forget mention the cover saying that says “$3 or $10 if you are a vegan fag!” Inner V.O.I.D., P.O. Box 975, Dickson, TN. 37055, USA
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
BITE THE BULLET - “Issue # 1” *40 pages*A5 size*Xeroxed*folded*$1US/$2 World* Fucking great little half-sized ‘zine from Canada on it’s debut issue. Interviews are: Civil Carnage, Dichotic, Sheavy, Groinchurn, & Slap A Ham Recs./Spazz. Reviews include Album/demo/horror movies plus a tribute to the mighty Motorhead! You can buy this from me for the price above or the directly thru the editor at: Bite The Bullet, 86 Nelson’s Landing # 216, Bedford, N.S., B4A 4C6, CANADA Email = noclass71@hotmail.com
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
HATESPAWN - “Issue # 5 (Christmas Past Vol. 2)” *32 pages*A4 size*Xeroxed* Corner stapled*$3US World* This is the only other metal ‘zine to my knowledge from my new home city of Philadelphia. It is far from metal only though, as it has various articles on Bigfoot, Corney Road/The Washington mystique (apparently Philly locals are afraid of this area - I’ll tell you I went there and checked it out and maybe I just don’t scare easy, but I don’t get it!?). Also news clippings on people who committed suicide or prostitute murders (something editor Scab is particularly fond of happening) plus more. This is all mixed with metal, racism and pornography, so a unique fanzine to say the least! Inties are: Festering Puke, Twisted Tower Dire, Subsanity, Religious Fucks. Hatespawn, c/o Scab, 3745 Pearson Ave., Philadelphia, PA. 19114, USA
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
EARSPLIT - “Issue # 24 (Summer/Fall ’98) *80 pages*A4 size*Newsprint*Center stapled* Thanx to Liz (who was the publicist at Earache at the time of this ‘zines creation, but now does publicist duties for Nuclear Blast America) for sending this in for review. The layout is good and easy on the eyes and Liz is an excellent writer. But I have to be honest I only got into maybe 50% of this ‘zine as the rest of it is decidedly mainstream hardrock and metal that gets more than enough exposure in Metal Edge ect. Interviews and articles include: Disarray, Stuck Mojo(ugh), Godflesh, Sebastian Bach, Megadeth, V.O.D., Genitorturers, The Crystal Method, Napalm Death, Insane Clown Posse, Soulfly, Life Of Agony, Deftones + more. I must say even at a heavy 80 pages it is fucking packed! Earsplit, c/o Liz, P.O. Box 142, Congers, New York 10920-0142, USA Email = earsplit@aol.com
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
SATAN’S CANDY BASKET (Treats From The Underground) - “Issue # 3” *52 pages*Newsprint (b&w glossy cover)* Center stapled*$3 US/$5 World* Burt is back with another killer issue. It was nice to see Burt turn his focus back this issue to underground acts and away from the mainstream who do not need the support. Inties are: Cannibal Corpse, Cardiovascular-Sub Hypothermia, Fear Factory, Fleshtized, Fury Of 5, Genitorturers, actor Bruce Campbell (Evil Dead’s 1 & 2 ect.), Immolation, Inhumate, Insatanity, Jungle Rot, Lividity, Pulkas and Severance. I get a ton of flack for my small font, well a great deal of this issue have me beat! Get this from me or from the editor at: S.C.B. ‘zine, c/o Burt Wolf, 644 E High Street, Apt. 2B, Pottstown, PA. 19464, USA Email = BeowolfCo@aol.com
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I HATE YOU MOTHERFUCKER - “Issue # 4” *28 pages*A5 size*Xeroxed*Center Stapled*$1 US/$2 World* Great name! Anyone who is easily offended, steer clear. Inties include: Chupacabra, Babraham Stincolin & The Dirty Cocksuckers. As well as some articles, newspaper clippings & goofy artwork. It’s a tad brief but the price (which is the price thru me, I know not sure what the editor sells it for, I passed all of his flyers before doing this review-sorry) reflects that, interesting read. I.H.Y.M.F. ‘zine, P.O. Box 104, Savoy, IL. 61874, USA
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
STAY TRUE, STAY UGLY AND STAY UNDERGROUND - “Issue # 9” *36 pages*A4 size*Xeroxed*Corner stapled*$ 4US* I must say I greatly admire editor King’s (Deceased/October 31) love and drive for metal and the metal cause! Sometimes our opinions on bands greatly differ but for the most part we like to travel the same metallic paths. I really enjoyed this issue as it’s main figurehead inties are: Saxon & Corpse Vomit, as well as a cool article called “Priest .VS. Maiden (Who’s the greatest?)” which is pretty self-explainatory. Tho’ how he can defend the last 2 Maiden albums is beyond me! The rest of the ‘zine is pure reviews which King make very entertaining to read in charismatic writing style. I know from hanging with King at the Meltdown fest he is metal to the fucking core!! S.T.S.U.A.S.U. ‘zine, c/o King Fowley, 5953 N. 10th St., Arlington, VA. 22205, USA
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
SOCIOPATHIC DESPAIR - “Issue # 2 (June ’98) *48 pages*A4 size*Newsprint* Center stapled*$2 US/$3 World* This great young ‘zine covers all extreme but divides most of it’s time between hardcore and death metal. Inties include: One Life Crew, Cold As Life, Denied, Inhuman, which are all in-depth just like I like ‘em! You also get a ton of long, descriptive reviews alongside a portion of the Unabomber Manifesto is printed. Great cartoons of South Park & a blaspheming Sesame Street one adorn the covers. Support editor Mike Rogers he is one dedicated and all around cool motherfucker. Expect more focus on death metal next issue. (Available thru me or the ‘zien addy same price) Sociopathic Despair, P.O. Box 10025, Bowling Green, KY. 42102-4825, USA Email = SocioD@hotmail.com
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
METAL RULES! - “Issue # 3” *42 pages* A4 size*Pro-printed*Center stapled*$4 US/$6 World* As always another fun read! I can’t say I cared for the interview line-up: actor Bruce Campbell (has he sunk that low he is hitting up metal fanzines for interviews!?), Ratt, Dead Motion, 440’s (local bar rock band), Inhumate, Dellamorte, Anthrax. Well written, and hilarious reviews once again which are the mags strong point. I still don’t get handing over everything for someone else to edit and then layout. I would prefer to cut and paste than do that. Oh well, Jeff is one cool guy so order this. See addy elsewhere.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
DEATH-CORE - “Issue # 2” *32 pages* A4 size*Newsprint*Center glued*$2 US/$3 World* This is pretty good, I don’t think I could have come up with something this good at age 15 like editor Alex did. Obviously from the title this is a hardcore/death metal ‘zine. So far each issue has had a “Who sucks more?” section and this time it is between Powerman 5000 and Sevendust. Inties are: Mehuggah, Alterkation, Candiria, Regurgitation, Red Sky, Lividity, Fury Of 5, Deaden, Skinless, Devourment, God Forbid, and Spinecast. Great start and it will only get better. Death-core, c/o Alex Queller, 11 Colts Brook Road, Marlboro, NJ. 07746, USA Email = deathcore6@aol.com
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
UNDERGROUND BRUTALITY - “Issue # 1 (June ’99) *36 pages*A4 size*Pro-Printed*Side stapled*$3 US/$4 World* Smokin’ debut! Not a lot of rookie rust here. Interviews include: Acheron, Arrows Of Malice ‘zine, Centurian, Deaden, Maleficent, Misery, Nomad, Satan’s Candy Basket ‘zine, Sorrow Bequest, & Ton. Plus the usual demo/ CD/’zine & movie reviews. Lots of upside with Richard you can tell he is one hell of a dedicated individual! Order now!

DISCORDIA - “Issue # 1” *34 pages*A4 size*Xeroxed*Side stapled*$2 North America/$3 World* Subtitled on the cover “Music’s supposed to soothe the savage beast...not create one”. Hmm Great new ‘zine on the scene that I cannot help but recommend very higly! Inties include: Fear Factory, Exhumed, Cryptopsy, Blood Duster, Grift, and Dahmer. You also get a German h.c. scene report, listing of cool websites, and a article on whether death metal could ever go mainstream. Excellent start and foundation.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
STEEL CONJURING - “Issue # 1 (Feb. ’98) *80 pages*A3 size*Pro-printed (b&w glossy cover)*Center stapled* Great, great true power/heavy metal fanzine and especially amazing that this is the debut issue! Inties include: Lordian Guard (ex-Warlord), Cauldron Born, Domine, Skylark, Brocas Helm, Vigilence, Refugium Pecatorum, OPM Records, Outcast, Dream Devoid, Guardian Angel, Brazen Faced, Marauder.
