Underground Extreme Metal Fanzine


We're back!

The site has been rebuilt and refined with new features like Fanzine Reviews, "The Past is Alive" section where we review old releases in a retrospective way, Articles and more. Also we have made some layout changes. Hope you will enjoy our work and feel free to contact us if you would like to submit your music or would like to join the staff.

Submitting Music

You want your music reviewed? Awesome. Just keep in mind: we decide what gets featured. We only cover Death or Black Metal, or hybrids with Doom, Thrash, or Speed, preferably the Old School kind.

Don’t bother submitting sludge, brutal/slam, industrial, modern/tech, gothic, groove, avant-garde, experimental, post, core, stoner, or anything outside our scope. We’re not the right zine for that.

So in a nutshell…

  • Professional reviews? Nope. We are not journalists. We are pretty sure objective reviews are an utopia so we review as fans…fans with an opinion.
  • Physical albums? Keep them. Sell them! We are more than happy to review it digitally, be it MP3, WAV or streaming links like Bandcamp, YouTube etc..
  • Deadlines? Nonexistent. We receive a lot of requests and we review when we can.
  • Interviews? We contact bands if we want to do an interview. Don’t ask.
  • Unhappy with a review? Shit happens. Move on.
