Chromium Dioxide (CAN) is a killer zine too. Fuckers are ridiculous.

They've posted a tiny amount of inforrmation on the website. But more details would be nice.
Yup, we're going print. Right now this is what is on the table:

Quarterly magazine. 65 to 100 pages. Color covers (maybe) and b&w interior, possibly on newsprint ala MR&R.

Preserves same features of LHP: Reviews, Interviews, One From the Grave (re-examination of an older or unsung record)... and adds some new ones: cartoons, comix, 10 Seconds 2 Love (examination of single song), column(s), etc etc.

Aesthetically this is gonna be like CRACKED done by the METAL FORCES crew... or vice/versa. It's not going to look like anything else out there and it sure as shit won't read like it.

Interview subjects and other content are state secrets until publication.

We've added a few new writers to the stable for the website. Todd and I likely won't be writing that much for strictly web, but we aim to have it updated frequently as possible. (I plan to continue the "Atlanta is Burning" feature; a new installment is almost finished.) Don't expect some insane turnaround on copy like Metal Sucks or Invisible Oranges. But there will likely be more than one post a week.

OK, I think that's it. I'll keep y'all up to date as far as the debut goes, how you can get it, etc. Thanks for the interest.

Great news. Great rag. Great. Great.

I've picked up a few issues, but it never stuck with me. I don't recall why now. Wrong sub-genres or bad writing, most likely. Anyone here a fan?

I'm still curious about the guy behind SOD/DOA. Just seems like an oddball.

Hey, I subscribe to ZT and Terrorizer and live in the UK, and I'd happily send them on if someone were to return the favour with Decibel, which I recently subscribed too on a short term thing to try it out.

Thats assuming its cheaper, I've just got home from an 11 hour night shift and in my sleepy head it sounds like a good idea.

I don't know how quickly the UK mags get sent out, so this way you might lose a couple days.

I dunno, if anyone is interested let me know.

BWBK?

Terrorizer sucks, who give a fuck what Arch Enemy and In Flames are doing now? Decibel has the best content.

All the big glossies suck. Decibel is a joke. All these mags cover the same fucking bands. Blah blah blah.

One good thing about D'bel though is Scott Seward. Only creative writer they've got in the stable and they never hardly trot the guy out.

I've got kind of a soft spot for BWBK even though it seems pretty lame these days. In an earlier life, those sampler CD's were my single source for learning about what was out there. No internet availible, no metal in any record store within 90 miles, and I sure wasn't going to hear anything like it the radio. Got some fond memories of that new magazine smell and some rad tunes to spin.

HA! I would do this if the post office wasn't absolutely HELL ON EARTH with the waiting in line and the Customs forms and the soul-sucking misery and the ever-rising postage costs. Also I mail my English friends Cheetos and Hidden Valley Ranch dressing and whatever other weird shit I can cram in the box, so my packages are probably being tracked.

One day I'm going to finally break down and subscribe to Terrorizer. One day...

I don't mind the Post Office, but the cost of shipping them individually would probably be worse than trans-Atlantic subscriptions.

It was just a suggestion, one that I shall leave open if anyone changes there mind.

Can't be bothered to research it right now, but can't believe it would be more expensive.
