Hard Stuff #1
(Poland-USA) 1994

by Jason Netherton on February 4, 2017

Hard Stuff #1 (Poland-US) Sept. 1994. Editor: “Mariusz Kmiolek” A one-off, combined effort from Poland’s Thrash ’em All and US’s Loud Magazine. I am not sure if it ever got off the ground into a regular publication(?), but this short introductory issue from late in 1994 was still pretty cool, with some ads and pics […]

Grind Zone #1
(Italy/Spain) ? 1994
(Español)

by Jason Netherton on January 2, 2013

Grind Zone #1 (Italy/Spain) ? 1994. Director: “Claudio Cubito” (En Español) A somewhat mainstream Italian publication, translated into Spanish for Spain (and published by a German conglomerate!), yet containing many cult underground acts in their prime. This goes to show just how far the ‘underground’ was from being really underground by 1994 – only to […]

Dauthus Zine #1
(Sweden) 1996

by Jason Netherton on January 29, 2012

Dauthus Zine #1 (Sweden) 1996, Editor: “Timo Ketola” This zine has a sort of ‘cult’ following these days, and its well deserved. Herra Ketola obviously put untold hours of blood and brains into his zines, with exceptional and witty writing, original layouts, and aesthetic taste that was rare among the multitude of zines that had come before (and after), with only a […]

Exhume Zine #4
(Tennessee, USA) 1993

by Jason Netherton on November 6, 2011

Exhume Zine #4 (Tennessee, USA) July 1993. Editor: James Kelly Enochs III. This was the fourth and final issue of Exhume (issue #3 was put up a while ago), and like the previous, it was stapled on thick, copied paper. This makes for some hard eye-squint reading in places, but nothing that zooming in can not […]
