Looking for bands deserving magazine promotion!

Postby terrorizer on Thu May 21, 2009 8:49 pm

If you've read Terrorizer Magazine recently you'll have seen our new Choice Cuts section. For those unfamiliar with the format, the aim is to give coverage to bands because they deserve it, and not due to them necessarily having record label backing. My god how fucking underground is that for a magazine you can buy in W.H. Smiths? :D

A number of UK Thrash bands have already been featured; Warpath, Pitiful Reign, H.O.D., Adrenicide, with the likes of Lifeless and Mutant awaiting publication and I've begun to write about a number of thrash bands from around the world, but I want to do even more for the underground. That's where you come in. Can you suggest worthy bands please? I'm not exclusively looking for thrash bands, far from it, you know the type of stuff the magazine features; black, death, grind, thrash, doom, odd shit... so please get your thinking caps on and throw some myspaces at me. This is your chance to perhaps get a band you believe in into the grubby hands of 15,000 people.

I can't promise to feature every band suggested, but I will check them all out and if I think they are what I'm looking for, I'll pitch them to my Deputy Editor. Unfortunately I do not have the final say of who gets featured, but I can be pretty persuasive when I want to be.

Thanks for your time.

I'd second Sorrowfall, and add Scirocco and Darkest Era, if they haven't been featured before.

Cheers for all the suggestions, please keep them coming along with the myspace links. It's better if a band has a recent release (i.e. in the last four months). I'll check these out over the next few days.
