Our comrade in Metal Nathaniel “Asphyx” Colas has made quite a statement with this first issue! Faithful to the old Metal spirit, Nathaniel offers us a fantastic zine, far away from any trend. He has chosen a layout reminiscent of the zines of old (read: the 80’s) but with a more mature content. Nathaniel had […]
Yezzzz, this is a really cool one. It is good to see printed fanzines these days when most of the underground press just exist as an online version. This is of course not the only reason why this is a good fanzine. It has the traditional b/w looking design of the early 90s mags with […]
Germany’s SKULLCRUSHER crew is currently celebrating their five-year anniversary with the release of their ninth issue, so congrets from here for the necessary strength that is definitely needed in order not to throw in the towel in this fucked-up business a lot earlier already. Never got my hands on one of their previously published issues, […]
For those unknowing "Xiuhcoatl" means "Fire Serpent" in the Nahuatl language, and this issue is the third strike in only so many months from the editor Ederh MacDiel Rodriguez A., out of Veracruz, Mexico and what a fire vomiting monster this half-sized terror is! I swear there is more information packed into this fanzine than […]
This is the follow-up to the highly acclaimed debut by this Black Metal hopefuls around drum-wunderkind evil Emil of MARDUK fame. And the panzerdivision should better watch out since THE LEGION is hot on their heels with this vital and aggressive assault! It’s not exactly easy to say what makes them stand out since their […]
Already recorded in 2006 this debut mini-album by the Mexican outfit THE FURY I HIDE took quite a long time until it got released. The reason for this delay is unknown to me, since the band’s homepage did not reveal any further info on this topic. “Awaken The Fury” offers a mixture between typical Thrash […]
Norway already gave birth to a whole lot of first class Black Metal acts throughout the years and as childish as it may sound – to me they still rule over every other country in terms of delivering the right grim and cold atmosphere! Apart from all the bigger names (which mostly lost this particular […]
This album originally got released on Zoom Club Records back in 2001, featuring an amazing 8 song live show, when TANK was supporting MOTÖRHEAD on their "No Sleep ‘Til Christmas" European tour at the Westfalenhalle in Dortmund, Germany on December 07, 1981. At the time the band was promoting their killer debut full-length "Filth Hounds […]
For those not aware of this act, TAURUS, you have sadly missed a real gem in the international Metal community. Thankfully I was turned onto these Thrashers sometime ago and have known of their incredibly straight-forward and catchy Thrash Metal. And for those that care, I even have an original copy of their debut album […]
Here’s finally the scheduled debut album of Sweden’s answer to DEICIDE called THRONEAEON. Okay, I have to admit that it wouldn’t be fair to baptize THRONEAEON as a simple DEICIDE clone, because main man Tony Freed and his nasty customers have musically improved compared to the MCD "With Sardonic Wrath" and their demo tapes, especially […]
