This magazine is just too short to do a proper reviewing of. However, I will try my best to properly review it. First off, it has as a cover one of the cutest little girls that I’ve ever seen. There can be said to be about 3 articles in this magazine. These articles are an interview, a story about the death of Dee Dee Ramone, and some tips for a…
If you think that Sepultura is the only decent metal band from Brazil, you definitely haven’t heard Opprobrium! This death/thrash monstrosity has been infecting the metal scene for more than 20 years now, at first using the name Incubus and then changing it in to Opprobrium in 1997. Under that moniker the band released only one album called “Discerning Forcesâ€, which proved to be a phenomenal combination of brutality and…

Sebrakakku! #1 / :10 / 16 S / Free or Trade / tunazine@beetfarm.org / http://www.beetfarm.org/tunazine / Starting the inaugural issue of Sebrakakku with an editor’s note about how ey doesn’t subscribe to the “this will suck†mantra, but about the fear that ey might not cover everything that ey wants to cover. Touching upon the self-esteem issue is incredibly important, because practically all the zinesters that I know are crippled…
Patriotism in song usually emanates from country & western singers. Patriotism, pride and passion are felt, but seldom verbalized, by African-Americans. “I’m An American,†an emotive and timely new ode to American troops, touchingly delivered by established Las Vegas crooner Daniel Lowery, who is African-American, was released nationwide.

Specifically, the policy which Stop-Loss is named after means that if the military wants a soldier to come back after their normal tour of duty is up, they have to do so or face serious charges. The main…
In much the same way that The Animatrix provided viewers with a little bit of back story to the events that gave a little bit more in the way of context to the events that happened in the Matrix trilogy, Batman Gotham Knight fills viewers in with the events that have taken place between the events of Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. There are six different stories, done in…

Metal Mind Productions presents the first official release of Naumachia’s second full-length album – “Callous Kagathosâ€. The album, recorded in November 2005 in Hertz Studio (used previously by Vader and Decapitated), was a huge step forward in all aspects.

It featured original, intriguing and fresh metal compositions. “Callous Kagathos” was released in late 2006…
Scorpi-Oh #4/28 Pages. Another fabulous zine by the equally fabulous Joolie. This time, the theme (if you can call it that) of the zine is the Ladyfest, an event about which I was totally unaware. Well, at least I can say I know a little bit about what it entails, even if I cannot ever go to it. There are lyrics about in this magazine, and by far the best…

Death on Demand is the first outing by the Evil Twins company, and was directed by Adam Matalon (Seasons in the Valley, Sex & Camping) and it showcases another step forward in the linking of the horror genre with a current, computer-obsessed age, something that was first teased out during Untraceable. Death on Demand starts out with a scene in which Sean McIntyre, a climber, ends up killing eir family…
EverEve – one of the most important representatives of the music genre roughly called CYGOROME (Cyber Goth Rock Metal). But before ultimately defining their style, the group experimented with a plethora of sounds, especially on their first three releases − “Seasons”, “Stormbirds” and “Regret”. Each of these albums showcased a thrilling combination of death, gothic, atmospheric and progressive metal, enforced with a huge dose of Pink Floyd overtones.
