That's a mad cover! It's good to see the mixture of old and new bands featured.

It's the cover of the Hurlement CD - wish they had've used that for the vinyl edition too!

The zine sounds pretty cool, will be picking one up!

Thanks to all for the comments. Yes, we used the cover of the Hurlement CD, i also wish it was used on LP...

We can “announce” the bands that will participate in the compilation CD that will be sold along with the fanzine. These are:
ASSAILANT, BLACKLIST. BRAVERIDE, BUTCHER, CAGE, CHYLD, DEMOLITION TRAIN, EMERALD, FLYING SKULL, FORTE, MANSTRAND, SAVAGE WIZDOM, TEMPEST, VALIDOR, VOID MOON.

All songs are either unreleased, taken from old compilations, demo, as well as from forthcoming releases that we want to believe will be some of the strongest of 2011.

The fanzine will make its debut at UTH the following week with a price of 7€. Contact us for ordering info and wholesale prices.

Nice. Looking forward to the Blacklist and Crowhaven(not exactly a favourite but it should be interesting) interviews. Emerald is the Dutch band not the US one?

Emerald is the Swiss band!Crowhaven may fail your expectations for several reasons....

Ok the Swiss band, even worse haha ;) Because I think it is incredibly lame of them to have adopted a monicker used by two prominent 80's bands, while putting forth their love of old metal. Crowhaven's music is not even metal, but I'd hope they had some 'strange' answers :/

I think half of the Crowhaven LP is metal actually,or at least heavy hard rock but the metal is somewhere in there,not completely out of place..

Well, were both Emeralds so known back in the mid-90's?? I dont think so. And their love for old Metal doesnt have anything to do with knowing the existence of the US Emerald, the Dutch ones we can talk about it :D

BTW, thanks to all that commented and contacted us so far, we are sure you will not be disappointed!
