CHRONICLES
#1
"Don't
judge a book by its cover" is a sentence that might
sound a bit old, especially in these days when peoples
base so much on appearance and superficial communication,
but it's still a valid line of thought, so we'll rather
"Judge the worm by its bowels". CHRONICLES
is a new fanzine, and despite of a very simple cover
(An old school logo on white background) the content
is better than the average: What you'll find is quite
long and in depths (This word has lost quite some meaning
recently... Many zines claim to be "In depths")
interviews, with bands the editor knows enough and cares
enough about to make quite interesting readings (This
is quite absolutely true for the ones of ARES KINGDOM
and PENTAGRAM). Ok, the style of writing is a bit
classical and the approach doesn't come with thunderous
ideas of genius, but the content is interesting and
depthly/ depthtified (If that word exists lol) enough
not to care about some little drawbacks. The zine
mostly comes with interviews; There are no reviews and
in replacement you could find quotes of articles taken
from old 80's/ 90's zines (sometimes "funny",
sometimes refreshing, sometimes I don't know... Why
not). The layout is simple and clear, with some margins
here and there... I didn't expect anything particular,
just randomly traded this issue after receiving a request,
but the content is a quite cool surprise.
Interviews:
Ares kingdom, Pentagram (Chi), Sol negro, Patrons of
the rotting gate, Audiopain, Blood mortized.
