Morbid Writes Issue #1 (2019)

 




Morbid Writes Issue 1 (2019)
28 pages, A5 size, English, xerox

Interviews
Skullsmasher, Deceitome, Foul, Occult Blood, Igor Mortis, Evoker, Outr Tombe, Repression

This is quite a thin issue. This debut issue if only 28 pages thick. I finish reading this quite fast.

It focuses on death metal. The editor uses frame/border artwork. The pages not numbered and there is no table of content.

The interviews are short, like 5 or 6 questions which consumed 2 pages using quite big font size. The band's name is written near their logo which is quite original. There are some blank spaces after the interviews. Need to put something there, I guess. Like after Igor Mortis, 75% pages is blank. Put cover artwork maybe?

Good that he made this using laser printing, so the visual quality is good. 

Some interviews are quite interesting. Occult Blood for example replies "Satan" for all the questions. So, he's also to be blamed too for making this a thin issue.

There are some horror reviews (with the poster artwork) but they are too short.

There is one section that really caught my attention, "Gore-Met Food". Here you can find some recipe. But to continue you firstly need to find a decapitated human head or severed pinkies. Good luck in getting them.

The last 3 pages are fill with ads & flyers. There are also some cartoons with sick humor.

No editorial and contact address of the editor can be found, so not sure the country of origin of this zine. But later after googling found their Facebook page.

I bought the first & second issue from Distributions of Death. I guess you can check DoD FB page for info if you want a copy.
