Old, Rotten, Buried Chilean Scene
Blood UK Report

The new issue and in full zine form! A good format change. It keeps the tradition of their previous issues which is cut n paste and, ofcourse "The one and only fanzine that doesn't waste space on a cover". The zine starts and ends with interviews. Original concept heh? Pages are numbered and have table of content too. To be honest, I didn't expect this at first but 52 pages thick need TOC to keep it organized.

One thing I found missing is the contest (go read my older reviews). Not missing is using so many small pictures on the background. That really takes a lot of time to do that. I hope no fingers are injured in the process. The result is great, especially on the Chile scene report.

Some humors are there, as usual. Photos of Spice Girls and Margaret Thatcher on UK scene report are among the highlight. On Retaliador & The Krushers’s interviews, you need to flip the zine to read it. Not sure whether that is part of the humor but I think some might get pissed off with this.

Some interviews are short and some are old interviews taken from editor's old zine, Warzone. Quite numbers of bands are from Chile, so you can get familiar with the present Chilean scene.

Reviews cover all formats and combined in one section. 8 pages are used for this and the reviews are not rated. Reviews are short sometimes whether the stuff is good or bad.

My copy is hand numbered #158 but I'm not sure how many is being printed. I bought this in early 2010; hopefully some copies might be available for sale. The postage really kills!

The old address might not be valid now so please email them first.

Hellthrashing #2 (2007)




12 pages, A4, pro-print

Interview
Devastation, Selvageria, Hateful Agony, Tyrants Blood, Filli Nigrantium Infernalium

For this issue only left Carlos managing the newsletter. The content have increased and he said issue 3 might be a full magazine. Great! Another kult cut n paste madness! The answer for the last Cuntest is the song Public Suicide by DBC (from Dead Brain Cells LP). That's an obscure release! Sexy and nude pictures are a bonus for me. You dont see that in issue 1. Although the interviews and reviews (nearly 70 reviews of audio stuff and zine) are serious, you can get some humour in between the pages. "I am so true!! I dont use email" are some of the hillarious quotes you can find here. The first 25 copies of this newsletter will get "Pussy Worshipper Warrior" button. Arghh! My copy is #142!!

Hellthrashing #1 (2006)




8 pages, A4, pro-print

Interview
Pagan Rites, Messiah, Betrayed

I never read a pro-printed underground newsletter before except for Necrovassago newsletter in 1996. Kult looking cut n paste layout but no news? I thought newsletter should have news hehe. Well, there is a few in form of flyers. Just 3 interviews but really entertaining especially with Devil Lee Rot of Pagan Rites and Messiah. Only 2 pages on reviews and all (audio stuff and zine) are mixed together. The first thing I do before reading this newsletter is counting how many cunt they put on the cover page. Is it 25? Damned! I couldn't get the same amount in every count. They also have a contest called "Cuntest" where they put on some lyrics and you guess what song is that lyrics is from and you must send a picture of you holding that release. Wow. That's original! Since it's a "newsletter", I can't complain on the small amount of content in this issue. This newsletter is handle by Carlos (Kuravilu Prod) & Slaughter (Morbid Tale Zine) and they did a good job for this issue. My copy are hand-numbered 208.
