Nostalgia and more.

Here is a Magazine from the US done by Bill Zebub, Here is a Magazine from the US done by Bill Zebub, Issue #13 and I am guessing it came out around 1998 based on the various ads in the zine. A zine filled with boobs and metal as some zines did it back in those days. 

Bill Zebub is also responsible for making movies such as "Jesus Christ: Serial Rapist" (2003), "Antfarm Dickhole" (2011) etc. He also did "Death Metal: A Documentary" (2002) that I have in my collection. Not the best documentary I've seen, but it features a nice interview with Peter Steele etc. (can be found on YouTube).

Immortal Underground Zine was a zine done by Luleå Immortal Underground Zine was a zine done by Luleå legend Pierre. A great dude, a couple of years older than me, who I met for the first time back in 1992 or so I think. This was at a concert he did with his band Gilgamosh, that later turned into Decortication, on Bergnäset in my old hometown (Luleå). 

We did not really get along during the early years since I was a bit "extreme" when it came to Satan and stuff. But as years passed I am glad to call Pierre a friend, a true legend that booked shows with bands such as Therion, Suffer, Internal Decay etc. in the early 90's that I got to enjoy in my teens.

Oskorei Magazine was a high quality Fanzine/Magazi Oskorei Magazine was a high quality Fanzine/Magazine from Norway that I really enjoyed. Also included a review of one of my old bands called Twilight, but we switched the name to Deathbound briefly after and were also featured on Oskorei Magazine Compilation CD Issue 6 in 2001 with the track "I Am Thy Fathers Misery". This is the recording where we had Blastmor from Thyrane on drums. Recorded during a drunken weekend in Tornio/Finland.

Let's take a break from the zines and let us rewin Let's take a break from the zines and let us rewind back to Finland back in 1994. 

Darkwoods My Betrothed - "Dark Aureoles Gathering" demo II (1994)

Through tape-trading I got in contact with Teemu (aka Hexenmeister) from the band maybe around 1995 or so and got ahold of this demo along with material under the name "Virgin's Cunt". 

This is still one of my absolute favorite-demos of all time. Just listen to the track "The Diabolical Eve of the Nocturnal Holocaust". The vocals are fucken insane, even compared to the likes of BÄÄrzam, Silencer or Bethlehem.

Fun Fact: Both Tuomas Holopainen (Nightwish) & Kai Hahto (Rotten Sound, Nightwish etc.) play on the bands latest album "Angel of Carnage Unleashed" (2001). Check it out!

Closing the Hellish Massacre chapter with #3 This Closing the Hellish Massacre chapter with #3

This issue is even thicker than #3.  But it works as a great Magnum Opus for this short lived zine. Once again still spot on with the visuals, but nothing that really surprises in hindsight considering the visuals that Watain has through their career. 

Once again we get a Malign interview, but perhaps the best one of them all. But also interviews with Havohej, Ondskapt, Shining, Deathspell Omega etc.

Time for Hellish Massacre #2 This is issue is thi Time for Hellish Massacre #2

This is issue is thicker than #1. Still spot on with the visuals, but also with "better" interviews. We get Malign (again), but also Triumphator, Graveland, Bloodline, Sabbat (Jap) and more...

Time for another old zine - Hellish Massacre #1 A Time for another old zine - Hellish Massacre #1

A zine done by E & Håkan of Watain between 1999-2001. And for being a fanzine done "so late" it really captures the old era perfectly. Some nice interviews with Malign and Repugnant etc.

Kreator – ”Pleasure to Kill” (Noise Records) Relea Kreator – ”Pleasure to Kill” (Noise Records)
Release: 1 April 1986

One of the best Thrash Metal albums ever released celebrates its 40th anniversary today and it must be celebrated! What an album with tracks such as "Ripping Corpse", "Pleasure to Kill" and my personal favorite "The Pestilence". Thrash über alles!

Score: 10 out of 10

Here is a backstage picture linked to the earlier Here is a backstage picture linked to the earlier anecdote in the post about Thyrane's debut-demo "Black Harmony" (1997). 

Sabbat, Blastmor & me, we pretty much shared a small backstage at the venue. 

Sabbat was a bunch of cool dudes for sure. Even had one of their scrotums just inches away from my face later that night when they played live. It seems that "the package" easily slips to the sides when wearing a leather jockstrap with rivets .

I have had time to ponder upon if 2006 is worthy o I have had time to ponder upon if 2006 is worthy of a series of 20th anniversary posts and solely due to Darkened Nocturnal Slaughtercult and "Hora Nocturna" I will do a series featuring about 40 releases from 2006.

But, since doing a thing like the 1996 anniversary takes time to set up I will be posting mainly nostalgic photos, zines, flyers etc. in the meanwhile.

This is sadly the last post for the ”1996 - 30th A This is sadly the last post for the ”1996 - 30th Anniversary Albums”-series. A journey that started on the 5th of February.

There are some albums missing, but this little journey into the past also showed some holes in my collection that will be fixed.

Last album out:

Thy Serpent – ”Forests of Witchery” (Spinefarm Records)
Release: 30 September

This album is the perfect example to show that Finland had a great Black Metal scene even back in 1996. Finland somewhat got overshadowed by the Norwegian & Swedish scene back in these day.

Score: 8 out of 10
