Speed Merchants Zine

Postby terrorizer on Sat Jan 12, 2008 12:34 pm

I was approached a few months ago by Earache Records to write a fanzine to accompany the forthcoming Thrashing Like A Maniac comp.

Along with an interview with each band on the comp I was given five pages to fill with reviews and the following UK bands have been featured; Deceptor, Doctor Death, Elimination, Heretic, Hospital Of Death, Let 'Em Burn, Mass Extinction, Nebukadnezza, Pitiful Reign, Rager, Savage Messiah, Sekhmet and Seregon.

The print run of the zine will be in the tens of thousands so it will be read by errr tens of thousands of thrashers around the globe.

Make sure you buy a copy!

I think all magazines should start going off on one about how awesome Pulverizer are. And how hard it is to find any material by them.

I did ask Heretic if they minded some Earache funded promotion. Oddly enough they did. :roll:
