MORBIDIOUS PATHOLOGY #3

Yeah! More Polish zines to rest in putridity.I wonder what happens in this country... Maybe paper is cheaper than Internet accesses? Anyway, this time I'll be able to have a clearer idea of the content, because even if all the morbidious pages from this third issue are in polish, the editor had the good idea to print me some English translations! (For the foreign bands...) So my reviews of the current polish mania won't taste too much as "cheating" anymore Héhé. MORBIDIOUS PATHOLOGY is a quite fat (62 pages), A4 sized zine mostly dealing with the sounds of the dead: Death metal and brutal death! Hourah! Hourah! And the computer layout is quite tight and compressed, so there's quite a lot of content (Sometimes it might be a bit too clear or lacking of pictures, but the most important is an easy reading of the whole...)Now, concerning these translated interviews, I can say that I find it interesting, or sometimes more original than the usual music questions, the editor goes quite deep in the cranium of this patients while exploring matters such as history, religion or other serious matters... And it turns out to be the most interesting in the cases of ARES KINGDOM or MONOLITH DEATHCULT (Are they trying to provocate peoples for the only sake of self promotion? Huh). There are also other inties with FERMENTO, CIANIDE, RUDRA or EMBRIONAL.I must also say some of his reviews are quite long, for example he occurs to review a single zine in a half page (Small font size, around 7 or 8); I don't know if it's filled with drunk polish jokes or serious matters, but according to the content of the translated interviews my internal balance would rather seriously tend to the second solution.With the elements I have in hand, I could say MORBIDIOUS PATHOLOGY is a serious and extensive zine that might (Strongly?) please Polish-readers who like Death metal and brutal death more than a little bit...

WSCIEKLIZNA MACICY #1

The madness of Polish zines continues: I don't know what happens in their country but they seem very much into printing everything compose with words.This time I won't be able to read the content, but also will have problems to understand (And even read) the name from this zine that was drawn in necro scriptures... WSZUSZKHÄKSZÄ KSZA!!! KSZÄ!!! These eastern tongues sometimes sound like castrated madness.The zine is A5 sized and contains the deep underground matters you might know if you didn't cross my pages by hazard searching for "French homosexuals" or something like that on Google, and the nice layout is kinda cut'n paste with pictures of horror and necro atrocities.The content is kinda located in the deep underground, I know some of those bands and they released demos bound to remain under the soils... But to be honest, when I see an interview of LACTO VAGINAL, I'm not sure if I'd even want to understand polish, coz their music sucks Ah Ah. Hopefully there are other victims like DEAD HUMAN BODIES, HORROR or DEFORMED CONSCIENCE that might be more listenable, plus some reviews or articles (Bios, or some polish translations of old NAPALM DEATH lyrics (Possibly from 'Utopia banished", but since I often mix this album's title with "Harmony corruption", a yelling cat of mistake might hide somewhere between these words...) You might have understood this zine deals with death grind, brutal death, crust and stuffs like that.One of the two editors also runs an "intimate" underground CDr label and released various lo-fi underground shits... He's into underground support, trades and stuffs like that... So, you might need to get in touch, if you're not too addicted to the couch...

DOMAIN #4

This isn't a new fanzine, but it's the first time I can read an issue. To make it clear at the very beginning: This is a metal metal zine that obviously deals with underground metal, with a tendency to take it the die hard way: Thrash metal, black metal, black death metal are the main genres.The interviews aren't bad, some are cool, some are more than cool; When he knows the interviewed ones a bit more it can lead to nice interpukes and volatile exchanges of acid vomit. The global layout is cool/ nice: It generally has some drawings around the texts (Reminds me some SLAYER Mag issues... Little problem, sometimes it hides the texts a bit) or it's the usual cut ‘haine’ paste on black background.Now, a less positive point has to be pointed out: Many of the reviews are short and very positive, so it's not very informative... Maybe he strictly wrote about releases he liked; this explains that, you could understand you'd like this or that band if you're a dire hard fanatic of metal metal (the real metal way, of corpse)... But if you're not totally metal metal (For example half metal metal or 80% metal metal, which would decrease the metalness of your whole metalization, huh?) you should be less metalizing.His English isn't perfect, but I don't have problems to understand (And I guess those who search for this kind of (s)exotic zines have developed since a long time some kind of "necro translator" that helps them to automatically correct the miss-takes while reading... So maybe those who complain are fresh newcomers who don't have the keys to metallize x2? héhé)This fourth (t)issue also contains and IRON FIST poster; The editor sent me a 3 tracks promo CD of this band, but I'm not sure if it comes with the zine, so don't order it exclusively for the promo CD! Ah Ah.DOMAIN could be a quite good read for big fans of metal who like it die hard and (th)underground, but it's not particularly a marble-statue breaker because other zines of this kind exist and it's more or less the same quality.Now, it's you to know how many zines you need each month (Yes, "Never enough" could be possible, if you really want it... All metal metal metal).
Interviews: WEAPON, WITCH HAMMER Recs, SABBAT, SICKNESS 666 drawer, ABIGAIL, ETERNAL OATH, LEGION OF DEATH Recs, INFERNAL EXEKRATOR, IRON FIST, HAYAGRIVA.

CHRONIC INFECTION (Mex) Paradoxical infection Demo tape'07. DEATHMUTT Records.

Where are all the brutal death and Death metal webzines that infected the web 4-5 years ago? In lack of cool underground scriptures to read on a weekly basis, it seems I'll have to do it myself..."Paradoxical infection" is a quite cool demo that roughly mixes almost current brutal death, regular brutal stuffs and old styled 94-98 brutality. First you have the DISGORGE (Usa), early DISGORGE (Mex), MINDLY ROTTEN and some American ultra blastong brutalitong, then you hear some early SOILS OF FATE/ CANNIBAL CORPSE, and you like some BROKEN HOPE (Before the ultra technical), MORTAL DECAY (First CD) or old SKINLESS (Heavier riffs)... (You also find few jazzy technical touches or eventually zests of older Death metal...)I'm not too much into their fast/ most brutal "crazy" moments, as it seems to be a bit "too much", and some songs' structures are a bit strange (Kinda like imperfect changes or too much riffs), but some other riffs are cool à la mid old BROKEN HOPE or old MORTAL DECAY and turns the whole morbid dysentery into a more entertaining symphony for castrated bowels. It remains perfectible and some tracks are a bit long, but this demo contains proofs of coolness and might please brutal death heads who aren't against some "diversity".

HAVOK (Bra) The ostentation of the eternal chaos Demo tape. HEREGE WARFARE Recs.


I noticed that for a change, some black metal labels begin to release Death metal... And this is not a bad idea at all if you ask me!This band plays a kind of Death metal that's not so old school, especially since they are Brazilian. Their cross is settled between the tombs of a thrashy Death metal and old DEICIDE, very early HYPOCRISY or old GOD DETHRONED... And not so hard-beating touches of early ANATA or mid old DEATH.Quite good powerful sound, cool low vocals, okey technical skills.Some drums or guitars could be more rrroooaaarrring (In some thrashy Death metal parts, the drums doesn't kick enough, it sounds a bit too "autoplay" the modern way... Some thrashy riffs sound also a bit too modern to kill) but HAVOK shows they're metallically enabled, and globally it's a cool Demo that might please those who could dig something like 90's Us Death metal mixed with some old GOD DETHRONED.
