PROSPECT #25
I
spatiotemporally shit on your face! I spread unctuous
excrements on the frightened visage of every past and
present incarnation from your lilliputian spiritual
entity. And to make sure you will get the fruity message...
Let's review a Russian zine! (Who knows, you might transmigrate
as a Russian prostitute one day). Some leg-raisers
and gentle-pukers might be (Not totally) happy to read
a new review of "The-zines-I-can't-understand"!
This might be the first time I talk about a Russian-written
zine (If I was working at Apple's brainwashing promotional
services this could even be called a "Revolution"
and an "Incredible experience", but I don't
consider deforming reality so much would be something
good). So ROCK PROSPECT is an underground metal zine
from Russia that already released 25 issues (Quite surprising
since the editor (Who also plays in the thrash band
TIRAN) doesn't seem to be 40 years old), and deals with
the kinds of metal you could expect: Thrash, death,
black, grind and other "Brutal tambour" brothers,
the whole in an underground manner (Most of the bands
are quite deep underground, and weren't released on
"underground major labels" (Or enterprises
behaving a same manner). Even if the Russian alphabet
looks so friendly you can't imagine how to pronounce
any of the words, I can say the interviews and reviews
are of a decent length, and there should be enough of
content for someone reading a zine of this kind. (This
seems to remind me a bit of FATAL UNDERGROUND by moments,
but I don't know if the writing is so close). The
eighty-eight A5-sized pages gather quite a lot of content,
the whole with a regular/ usual Winword layout (This
might be something to improve). The cover was printed
on black and white "Anti Scrub My Ass" glossy
paper, so I imagine some smelly goblins would be tempted
to claim Rock Prospect is an "EXCREMENT PROOF"
zine (Never trust them, they are either too small or
too smelly to say something right). That's all for
now, if you ever resurrect as a smelly Goblin don't
forget to learn Russian and lay a couple of fingers
on this zine, you might find cool bands to bang your
head against the radiators.
Interviews:
Gods tower, Menstrual divider, Nocturnal depression,
Graveyard, Lost god, Mournful gust, Thrashgrinder, Relicts,
Tyranex, Astarium, Inter abores.
