Gig report

Summer Breeze Festival

A year later came out issue #9. Nothing much has changed since #8. All are in the same style like #8 (layout, 1 page for news, The Real Underground section, etc) and also comes with free CD sampler.

If not mistaken, Chavdar still runs mailorder/label. Maybe some old copies are still available for sale.

Due to my bad memory, I bought this issue twice (one copy still sealed). The second one I bought from Dirs of Mortuary Ancestor. Nevermind, I can sell or trade them later.

Brutallica #8 (2003)

60 pg, A4, pro-printed, English

Interview

Alienation Mental, Primordal, Rot, Red Harvest, Lividity, Cock And Ball Torture, Bleeding Black, Spite Extreme Wing, Squash Bowels, Bard Eithun, Crypthowl, Severe Torture, Mustan Kuun Lapset, Bloodshed, Taetre, Vader, Hagalaz Runedance, Avulsed, Unsilence, Repudiate, Blackseed Boys, Gerbe Of Life, Running Wild

This is very old magazine. It smells ‘old’ too but I have smelled far more worse than this and even my fingers starts to feel itchy when I flip the pages.

Not sure if Chavdar still do the magazine. Layout-wise, not much to complaint (yes, I complaint a lot here, right?). Good layout like most professional mainstream magazine but Brutallica features more bands from the underground. Some pages are in full color.

Interviews are OK, out-dated of course if you read them now. The one I really enjoy is Faust, made by deputy editor Vanya Marinova which focuses more on lyric writing and drumming.

CD reviews are rated but not in alphabetical order and mostly have their front cover. Meanwhile "The Real Underground" which is demo reviews are not rated and also not alphabetically arranged. Found Bilharzia review here.

There is also 1 page full of news from the metal scene.

This issue comes with free CD sampler.

Brutallica #13 (2008)

60 pg, pro-print, English

Interview
Venificum, Sinoath, Carved In Stone, Satariel, KD Basses (Bass guitar manufacturer), Kult, Gospel Of The Horn, Satanochio, Cerebral Turbulency, Battlegod Productions, Warface, For Ruin, Spearhead, Exumer, Blood Duster, Saxorior, Devilish Impressions, Deicide

Good to know Chavdar still release Brutallica Magazine to the metal masses! Not much to complain, already 13th issue so you can get a good read. Layout-wise, some got large font size, well, not the average size I used to read but not a big problem. Some interview dont have any intro maybe want to save some space. Most interesting interview is with Battlegod Prod (not so shy to share his business tip). Not many reviews here. Chavdar said they received 600+ promo, of course impossible to review them all so he choose those who are related to Brutallica (eg. those who advertise with them). And ofcourse, free CD sampler with every issue. Check out their web for some info on Brutallica Records and Print Brutallica.
