Autumn 2000
42 pages; A-4; xeroxed zine
Black/white; black/white xeroxed cover.
First, I bought a copy of this zine from Damnation Records; subsequently, the editor sent me one for review. Oh well, never mind, support the underground I guess.
It is a simple, xeroxed zine, so don’t expect any high-end Photoshop-style imagery; it looks a lot like what we did with VM #2.
Looking at the reviews and interviews, it’s clear the editor has some sympathy for the raw Black Metal scene, featuring acts like Judas Iscariot and Moonblood. The interviews vary in length, ranging from just five questions to three full pages. However, even with only five questions, the editor of Dark Treasures manages to achieve more than some zines do with twelve. And for the Tolkien fans out there, there is a short story about him in the middle of the zine.
The reviews are of good quality, so I hope Darkness Treasures continues.
