Regardless of how much of a "tool" you don't think you are and how 'noble' your quest is, it takes some tremendous gall to have a label go out of their way to respond to an individual person on a message board's accusation with scans of CONTRACTS, which is frankly an unheard of move to tak...

I wouldn't think you'd deny being an asshole, as you seem to enjoy it. No attempts at witticism here.

You're not just an asshole, but you are an asshole all the same.

Uh, the box set didn't include this release bro. All the tracks are included in the boxset. Perhaps not in the same order as the LP but if that's really a concern it is after a bunch of CD's and you can rip the discs and put the tracks in whatever order you want. I don't understand...do you not mak...

I didn't know "quality black metal" as a concept existed on this forum.

The material on Bonded by Blood wasn't "new" by the time it was released.

I know that this is extremely unsubstantiated, but somebody on another forum claimed to have been at the Metallica show and his claim is that "I was lucky enough to hang a bit with King, Hank and Brian Slagel and they said that a new Fate record is in the works!!"

I appreciate the interest. I'm re-editing the layout for the repress of Issue 1 right now. Hopefully some ads can be collected quickly and this can be printed as soon as possible. The sooner that gets done the sooner Issue 2 can be completed.

Sure. First, I'd like to define the way that I used the term though, as none of these bands are truly 'forgotten'. By the term, I meant simply bands whose opportunity for success passed them by or whose music had the potential to be more influential than it should have were it more widely known or r...

[Although I am the author of this magazine, I am posting this on behalf of Promethean Burn, because there seems to be some trouble with the sign-up function of the forum.] I'm soliciting ads for a reprint of issue one of The Heretic's Torch zine , out soon via Promethean Burn . Full-page (A4), half-...

So in Germany it is available on November 18, and in North America on 01/31/2012... way to go Metal Blade! :evil: And Metal Blade is an american label to boot... Actually, I think their German office does have some type of autonomy. I own their 20th Anniversary box set that they put out, and Slagel...

Try Heathendom.

"Abattoir de la Mort" so far stands out to me musically as the great song from this album, although the somewhat veiled self-referentialism (also found in "Brethren of the Hammer") in the lyrics is a bit hokey. The lyrics to "Grindhouse", however, are especially dubious...

In more instances than not, I find the keyboard usage on the demo material endearing in a quirky, slightly cheesy way. Some of those unreleased tracks, like "Ill Met in Lankhmar" and "Darkness Weaves", are truly great as well.
