Gente gira, que tal? O COVID, tem sido gentil convosco? Ora bem, isto nos últimos dias tem dado azo a equacionar a direcção a seguir no que à Fanzine se refere. Saíram os dois primeiros volumes, houve pessoal interessado e a coisa deu-se. Se esperava mais? Sim, sem dúvida, e sei que isto soa a choradinho e o raio, mas de longe…

A ideia global: as problemáticas focadas, as preocupações tratadas e uma imensidão de temas ali pelo meio, ao qual se junta aquele aspecto atabalhoado, mas imensamente trabalhado, é qualquer coisa! Isto é aquilo que me agrada neste mundo das Fanzines musicais. Se for em formato A5, ainda mais! Mas sou suspeito, investi no A5 – e seguirei, sempre que uma nova edição se concretizar, ah – e é adorável. Ui, termo mais Heavy Metal, não é? Yap…

Dessa forma, e porque me custa saber que tenho 2563467569 entrevista guardadas, à espera que faça sentido editar mais uma edição da Fanzine, custa-me um bocado. Acaba por ser trabalho para (quase) nada, diria. Claro que, aqueles que adquiriram as Fanzines vão de imediato pensar "Sacana, e agora coloca tudo online!", e terei que respeitar aquele que vir a situação desse prisma, ainda que não deseje que assim seja visto, atenção.

O formato será abandonado? Óbvio que não. Gostaria de avançar com ambas as plataformas (Webzine & Fanzine), o que agradará a Romanos e Troianos (creio, espero…). Haverá quem gosta de ler na net, certo? Se alguém desejar adquirir uma versão física, tê-la-á, claro! É aqui que o papel ganha, ao virtual, mas isso já depende de cada um de nós.

Novidades dadas. Vamos ver que tal corre!

Editorial (English Version, mates)


People, how is everything? Has COVID been kind to you? Now, the last days have given rise to consider the direction to follow, in what refers to the Fanzine. The first two volumes came out, there were interested people and it happened. Was it expected more? Yes, without a doubt, and I know this sounds like a cry, but by no means...

The global idea: the issues raised, the concerns dealt with and an immensity of themes there in the middle, to which is added that cluttered but immensely worked aspect, it is something! This is what I like about this world of musical fanzines. If it is in A5 format, even more! But I am suspicious, I invested in the A5 - and I will continue, whenever a new edition materializes, ah - and it is lovely. An, extremely Heavy Metal term, isn't it? Yap ...

And because it costs me to know that I have 2563467569 interviews saved, waiting for it to make sense to edit another edition of the Fanzine, it costs me a lot. It turns out to be work for (almost) nothing, I would say. Of course, those who acquired the Fanzines will immediately think "Bloody prick, and now he puts everything online!", and I will have to respect whoever sees the situation from that point of view, even if I do not want it to be seen like that.

Will the format be abandoned? Of course not. I would like to move forward with both platforms (Webzine & Fanzine), which will please Romans and Trojans (I believe, I hope ...). There will be those who like to read on the net, right? If someone wants to purchase a physical version, they will have it, of course! This is where paper wins, over virtual, but that depends on each one of us.

News given. Let's see how it goes!

Invicta Reqviem Mass Seventh Gathering Well, hello there. Getting close to this year’s finest UG Black Metal gathering, are we? Oh yes, we are! I was quite curious about who would the lads in Signal Rex select for their 7 th Black Mass, and what a nice bill it say, I say. 15 bands will join forces in one of Portugal’s most beautiful, and Black Metal, cities. Porto, Cidade Invicta, will once again receive the label’s annual Black Metal gathering, and let us go through the bands that will be performing. While there is still not a daily line-up, let us almost alphabetically stroll down the corridor and look at newcomers and artists that will be repeating their attendance. So here we go! Starting off with an act composed of musicians from different geographic locations, Burial Moon . Austria, Estonia, and Switzerland, perhaps? If I may be honest, their location is what less interesses me. Musically speaking this is straightforward Signal Rex Black Metal. The hypnotic side of t

  Marthe “Further in Evil” (Southern Lord, 2023) I was completely unaware of the existence of this project, and only today stumbled upon it while scrolling on a very famous Black Metal group on Facebook. While reading the description of a photo, I saw The Devil’s Blood and Mediterranean Heavy Metal influences mentioned, as well as Antifascism and Italy. Scrolled down a bit more and read Bathory. Went straight to YouTube and added Tiamat, “Clouds” era (vocals at times), to it. It might sound a bit strange and misplaced, but let me tell you: it bloody works. Marthe is composed of one single musician, Marziona Silvani – stage/artist name, Marzia – and she has been around for some time. From what I understood, Marthe started out while Marzia was still rocking the drums in Ancient Cult, an Italian Heavy Doom band that since then closed the doors on existence. That gave way for Marzia to move forward and blast it all out with Marthe! Marthe is a very curious entity. Sound-wise, it ha

  Infernal Angels “Shrine of Black Fire” (Immortal Frost Productions, 2023) 2023 has been, so far – and we are almost done with the year – a splendid year for Black Metal. Strangely enough I have been focusing more on bands and albums that have a deliberate melodic approach to the sound, rather than going for the Raw Black Metal acts. Not that we do not have been infernally blessed with exquisite works of Art, but the well-produced records have been calling for me, and I have answered the call. Immortal Frost is a bit to blame for that. Surtur has released, so far, at least 2 records I believe will be considered some of the best I had the pleasure to listen to this year: Infinity’s “The Untamed Hunger” and Deadspace’s “Unveiling the Palest Truth”; an honorable mention to Azaghal’s “Alttarimme on Luista Tehty”, that shows a band still pushing hard! The label’s latest release is Infernal Angel’s “Shrine of the Black Fire”, and we’ll jump right into the fire to see what we got here!
