Winter 1999 / 2000
62 pages; A-4; paper kind zine
Black/white; black/white glossy cover
This is a great printed zine for all the Death Metal freaks out there! It’s “pure fuckin’ Death Metal,” just as their slogan says. I have to say, the guys make a fair point in their editorial; they claim to be a fanzine and exclusively support the music they like.
Because of this, you can expect reviews along the lines of, “I don’t like melody… enough said,” alongside plenty of praise for anything that is, according to them, pure Death Metal. Personally, I think a lot of you might dislike this style of reviewing, especially if you believe a reviewer should be objective.
That said, the interviews are certainly worth reading, especially the six-page feature with Germany’s Kadath. One particularly interesting part, for me personally, is the start of the Vomit Remnants interview, where the editor mentions his desire to interview Intestine Baalism. According to Dave Rotten of Repulse Records, VM is the only one who have ever interviewed them…a moment to be proud of.
Besides the usual features, there is also a Nile tour report to sink your teeth in.
If you love Death Metal and don’t mind the bias of a true fanzine, go out and buy it!
