Thrashbound zine

by **John** on Mon Sep 24, 2007 5:41 pm

Found it upstairs last night so made a .PDF and shoved it online. A lot of you won't have ever seen 'a proper zine' that were going about back in the late 80's and early 90's in the Thrash and Death metal scenes. Thought you'd like to see what it was like. This one is from 1989 I think, seen as that was the year of the Sacred Reich gig they review.

enjoy

p.s. for the Sacred Reich fans amongst you there's some ace photo's http://www.flickr.com/photos/47142214@N00/sets/ that were taken at the gig in the zine (review), as well as some amazing other UK thrash gigs, courtesy of the legend that is Dave Ingham.

This really takes me back. Not only good old Courier but also partially handwritten. Kids today don't even know they are born. In my day there was none of this internet thing with instant downloading and myspace, you had to wait at least a month for a tenth generation TDK D90 to arrive in the post and then it was usually crap, not what you'd traded for, had no song titles and cut half of the last song off. And don't get me started on pornography, you had to buy it from a newsagent and it was proper softcore etc. etc. etc. :roll:

Hey, i'm not putting 'the young' down.

I'm on about... the quality of it. Like the typewriter layout and photocopied monochrome pictures. Surely they're not like this anymore? I would have thought they were all colour and shiney and almost like some mainstream mag now, because of the technology available.

Cool, I thought that was a really good read actually, I like the review of Cause of Death where he says Chopped In Half is the heaviest song in the world. :rockdevil:

Hehe, just kidding anyways. Cool Zine.

No, theres a actually a good bunch of these cut and paste zine aroud, self drawn etc ...of course this type writing aspect makes it very cult...I mean, who really has a typewriter anymore.

Anyhow, enough of this...

Yeah, tons of hand-done, cut and paste, etc. zines around. The best kind by far.

Indeed! Should have said in my first post, but cheers for posting this - it's wicked!
