Under the Corpse Zine #1 (?) (NY, USA) 1993

Under the Corpse Zine  #1 (?)  (NY, USA) 1993. Editor: “Paul Beyer”

I recently got this xeroxed and stapled issue from a friend in Montreal.  It’s a nice one from ’93, and features interviews with bands like Pyrexia, Internal Bleeding, Nokturnel, (a long one with) Biohazard, Life of Agony, Type O Negative. Ossuary, Corpsegrinder, Sick of it All, Crucifix, Church of Misery, Scatterbrain, Alchemist, and more. Lots of reviews, an Australian scene report, and some adverts. Good stuff. I think it’s the first issue, but the back cover says #3 in the art, so not sure. Enjoy.
