Fanzines and magazines reading list!

This is a topic to talk about the last fanzines (Or underground metal magazines) you read lately.


The last two days I received:

DEMONS JAIL #2
CRYPTS OF ETERNITY #3

Last zine I was reading was Father Beyond #1..

CHROMIUM DIOXIDE (not really a fanzine, more like a comic with a metal touch. The section on the metal mascots is hilarious! Not sure if 'Kaptain Krunch' belongs in the good mascots though...)

THRASH ATTACK #7 (some questions could maybe be a touch more cultured, but I suppose Thrash metal isn't really a genre that relies on deep thinking. Better than his first issues)

Just waiting for wheresmyskin to arrive.

Argh, I thought it was a music zine... I guess I'll have to skip...

I think that's why I stopped reading it... I didn't have the feeling of learning much, apart thrash is great and some bands are great... Well I summarize quite strongly maybe, but I need sthg more.
Same problem for some other thrash zine I got...

Im waiting Black Plague III, Abhorrent Decay and Nigrapocalisis ...that should be some nice read I think...

Did you buy this through his email address? I tried to contact him, but the email address I used didn't work, I got a message that the account didn't exist.

About 60% interviews and reviews, 40% comic and comic type articles.

Is it worth the read? Are the comics cool, or is it not?
I'm still wondering... The moniker reminds me some old tapes...
Christkum you gonna let me know! Should I stay or should I go?

Not sure where you'll be able to find the first BlackPlague (maybe Legion of Death? You might need to ask around on some Siam Metal forums - not sure what language it is they use though...), but apparently his third one is quite impressive.

Sure, can dub the Obscure Torture tape, no problem. Cunt Paste #3 will be ready by around 20/09/2009 (TRIBULATION, KARNARIUM, UNHOLY CRUCIFIX, BASTARD PRIEST, PROFANER, NOCTURNAL EVIL, SCYTHIAN (is it pronounced scythe? Or sieve?), BLOODY SIGN, SLAUGHTBBATH, PROSANCTUS INFERI and SALUTE. All the other shit like reviews, live reviews, guitar tabs, blablabla about books/films/etc too. I've got about 64 or 66 pages done, looking to have less than 80. Postage is the real killer, especially as I can't sell the thing in the UK.), so if you want I can send the zine along with it.

SELF PREE-MO-CION!!!
PRAISE MAMMON! PRAISE MAMMON! PRAISE MAMMON! PRAISE MAMMON! PRAISE MAMMON! PRAISE MAMMON! PRAISE MAMMON! PRAISE MAMMON! PRAISE MAMMON! PRAISE MAMMON! PRAISE MAMMON! PRAISE MAMMON!

You should fry it and get yourself in on her cookbook.

The reviews aren't too impressive (mainly material that is well known in the underground), but it has some nice interviews, some fella that was in Megadeth at some point, plus a couple of other old heavy metal bands. Writing is 50% Isten, 50% National Lampoon. A bit nerdy at times, but well written.

Might not be worth paying the postage for it, though a friend picked up a copy when Cauldron were touring in the summer.

Yes of course I can wait..I can send third issue of my zine to you against third Cunt paste..well talk soon about that...

Ok, sounds good. Will put a copy aside for you.

What is the best way of obtaining old zines? The Slayers/Morbid mags/Tales of the Macabres/Putrifications/Istens so on and on. Quite often the editors themselves no longer have the past issues or they can be difficult to get ahold of, so finding copies of these old mags is near impossible without a sizeable bank-account and hours spent on ebay... Or just being very very lucky?
It's difficult to know whether the grandads babbling on about how great something like Isten was back in the day are simply caught up in nostalgia, without having the opportunity to actually read a copy for myself.

I just read "Gothic of Defiance Nirvana" Issue #31, tottaly awesome and I love how Jeremy reviewed my old band ANENCEPHALY"s demo and tottaly bashed the fuck outta it!!

All the other reviews are for stuff like The Simpsons Soundtrack, Genesis, Various old school rap artists, styrper, ratt and abunch of other crap haha!

BLAST #1
REBORN FROM ASHES #3
DEPTH CHARGE #3
MYSTICAL MUSIC #14

read Big Whoop! #3 lately.
prtty good, though some of the reviews were a bit un-informative.

REEK was nice
latest MORBID TALES too
now i'm on necroscope (at last) and a dvd/audio zine called bad acid tab

How is it? Mostly metal stuffs?

Curious to read your review of Necroscope.

psyche music from metal to rock to industrial...just started to listent the 120+ tiltes cds !!!!

you can get it ther : http://www.lesdisquesblasphematoiresdupalatin.tk/

necroscope is OK...i'm on 22 which has a perfect lineup for me : diocleitan, karnarium, balspherian...haven't read review so can't tell if it'll make me discover great stuff...

rek was nicer that what i thougth...perfect coverage of swedish new school of old school...nice question...a bit too positive but that's a FANzine

Unholy Eucharist #1...I also have some copies for trade-sale...

can anyone recommend me some zines (preferably fairly new, so that i could track em down) that cover some noise, or a variet of music in general, as opposed to just metal?

that bad acid tab one looks cool, might check it out.
