ELECTRONIC DEICIDE - issue one
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Hey freaks, looks like this is finally off the ground. You're staring at
|
|
ELECTRONIC DEICIDE, an electronic fanzine dedicated to Death metal,
|
|
thrash, and the support of the underground movement in the states and
|
|
beyond. This 'zine is going to be emailed periodically as news comes
|
|
to me; i cant set a definite time schedule until I know for sure how
|
|
this first one flies.
|
|
|
|
I'd like to thank everyone from the alt.r-n-r.metal wars who took time out
|
|
of their intense poser-faggot-bashing schedules to drop a line. I'd
|
|
especially like to thank Suaron for all of his incredible work...a lot
|
|
of people think he's an asshole, but if I was Satan, I'd give him higher
|
|
Demon powers on the spot! I'd also like to thank all of coworkers at
|
|
Metal Curse magazine, esp. Ray Miller, for helping me get going and
|
|
keeping the news flowing. I'd also like to give a big thanks to
|
|
Bill Johnson and all of the Death DJ's at WQAX in Bloomington, esp for
|
|
Underground Brutality....6 hours of underground death is way cool!
|
|
I'd like to thank all the people in the pit when I went to see
|
|
Prong last night. I know Prong isn't death, but I met a lot
|
|
of death-heads in the pit, and it was the most unique pit I've ever
|
|
been in. I'm hoping we get more shows besides fucking poser cover bands
|
|
soon! A thanks to THomas Wolmer for some Sweedish death news too..
|
|

Now for the news. Thanx to Ray for doing most of this shit..

|
DISMEMBER finally released their album in the united states. It's mega brutal
|
|
and all the guitar leads (except one) were done by Nicke Andersson from
|
|
ENTOMBED (oddly enough, Nicke is ENTOMBED's drummer).
|
|
|
|
DEATH-jacker Chuck S. has decided that PESTILENCE & VIOGRESSION are too heavy
|
|
for him and that DEATH cant handle the stress, so he kicked them off the
|
|
European leg of the tour. What a pussy, loser, jackoff, whiner.
|
|
|
|
ENTOMBED, CONFESSOR, CATHEDRAL, and CARCASS have all realesed their new albums
|
|
recently. The brief report: CARCASS-different, not as blast, more traditional
|
|
death metal. CONFESSSOR-doomy death metal, but with my sister on vocals.
|
|
CATHEDRAL-Lee Dorian's new band, but way slower than you might expect, doomy
|
|
heavy slower death with raw vox. EMNTOMBED-"I thought I gave my life, but back
|
|
I was only given pain." Truely a classic.
|
|
|
|
Poland's VADER has been signed to Earache. It's bout motherfuckin time!
|
|
|
|
MASSACRE will soon release a four song EP, that will contain the CD bouns track
|
|
>from the european version of _from beyond_, a live version of "Corpsegrinder",
|
|
a new song, and a cover of VENOM's "Warhead" with Cronos on guest vocals.
|
|
|
|
ASPHYX has plans to release an EP called _The Krusher_. It will have two demo
|
|
songs and a new one, called "the Krusher".
|
|
|
|
all the members of METALLICA died in a horrible bus crash. It was reported
|
|
that the song "Anasthesia (pulling teeth)" could be heard just before the
|
|
accident.
|
|
|
|
Rumor has it BIOHAZARD somehow signed with Geffen....no details on that,
|
|
but it sure as hell sounds freaky....equally deraged, I heard somehow
|
|
SEPULTURA is ending up on Sony. I'm not sure if they have an album
|
|
deal or if Sony somehow got legal rights to the band, but I heard it
|
|
was part of some kind of package deal.
|
|
|
|
EDGE OF SANITY's new album will be released in March.
|
|
|
|
UNLEASHED's new album _Shadows In the Deep_ will probably be released by May.
|
|
|
|
Tiamat is looking for a new bass player and will soon start recording their
|
|
third album (J|rgen Thullberg left after they recorded _The Astral Sleep_)
|
|
|
|
ROTTREVORE has a new 7" but I haven't got a copy yet....
|
|
|
|
CYNIC has released a new demo..
|
|
|
|
AFTER LIFE is currently recording their first new demo...I got a chance
|
|
to listen to some of the guitar sessions, and leadman Chris Elliot
|
|
was doing some serious work on this....its something to definitely
|
|
check out when it rolls around...
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
some demos worth checking out:
|
|
|
|
HARMS WAY: this is fast, and heavy as hell. Very reminiscent of DARK
|
|
ANGEL on _time does not heal_. Full color cover and band photo, about
|
|
as professional as a demo gets. definitely check this out:

|
SHADES OF GREY _Under The Skeptic's Eye_ : Here's the new demo from
|
|
the north Indiana thrash freaks. This is heavy heavy thrash, and
|
|
is a good break from all the death thats out there. The songs are
|
|
fast, heavy and palyed very well. There are 6 songs, 2 recorded live
|
|
with a good underground feel. Its got a full color cover and the
|
|
other 4 songs are professionally recorded. Well worth the money...

|
MASTICATOR : this demo is fucking brutal and heavy as hell. The
|
|
production is adequate..the band is very raw. The music is like
|
|
ASPHYX, but the vocals are much deeper...as deep as, if not worse
|
|
than SUFFOCATION's vocalist. An excellent death band, very deserving
|
|
of everyone's support
