Here's
a new metal fanzine coming from France. The editor initially
wanted to focus a lot on the current Death metal scene,
but the content has liquefied to the neighbor styles,
and so what you will read is all underground metal,
yet with a bit more Death metal than anything. The
state of mind is fresh, somewhere it's not so far from
the first issue of Danish REEK, but it's not the same. Inside
of the A5 pages, you will mostly find interviews (with
STENCH OF DECAY, NECROS, BLOODY SIGN, RESISTANCE, UNDER
SIEGE Recs and XANADOO) that are generally quite good
and not too short. There are few zine reviews. As the
editor didn't feel too convenient with reviewing music,
he did a quite long article of what he liked lately
(Some kind of described playlist, or agglomeration of
short reviews). The layout is quite cut'n paste, but
not so fancy, it remains clear (Maybe a bit too much). A
bit more of personality and inner bowel juice could
be nice sometimes. The English is not perfect but decent. For
a first issue it's not bad, but a bit more of something
(It's him to find) could be good to underline some personality,
to differ a bit from other current zines... So let's
see how it evolves. Ps: He also runs a label distro
under the same name.
