LATEST UPDATE FROM THE FACEBOOK PAGE:

Haven't updated this page in a while mainly due so much activity in the scene as of late but here's some updates from the bands featured in the 'zine:

-Anno Domini Mortus, Exordium Mors and Winter Deluge are confirmed to be stoking the flames of Heaven's demise alongside Marduk (SWE) 15th of January 2013. An event of monumental darkness and depravity. Event page here: https://www.facebook.com/events/5401291 ... 2/?fref=ts

-Blood of the Moon have released a very limited amount of demo CDs. This is some of the most exciting 'orthodox' Black Metal I have heard from this country in a while. Ask the band for copies! Sample can be heard here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XDI0QO56Ew

-Pre-Orders for BulletBelt's debut full length 'In the Cold of the Grave' are now taking place. Contact the band for copies! Here's a sample of the incredible artwork by Nick Keller (https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/ ... 4793_n.jpg) and a sample track (a cover by legendary NZ Punk band 'No Tag') can be heard here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uplNd8lpQ6g

-Carnal although were not directly featured in Issue 1 (here's hoping for Issue 2...) have also released their long-awaited debut EP/mCD 'Morbid Desires' this month. Contact the band for copies! Sample can be heard here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFMF-ev6vkc

-I've also had the pleasure of hearing an advanced track off the new Dying of the Light recording and it is one of the heaviest, crushing songs I have heard ever, yet alone from New Zealand. Keep your eyes peeled for this!

-Exordium Mors also released their latest EP 'Sacrifice, Perish and Demise' last month - contact the band for copies! Here's some raw live footage from their release show showcasing one of the tracks from the album: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuQCF_SSC9M

-Forsaken Age released their already classic debut full-length 'Back from Extinction' recently and boys does it kick ass! Contact the band for copies! Put your pedal to the metal with this sample track: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGJmgQSOW_8

-A couple of months ago now, Nullifier also released their new EP 'Silent Destruction' and copies are limited so get in contact with the band now before it's gone forever! Sample can be heard here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhHR-PKOp44

-Odiusembowel released a new demo CD/EP of brutal and punishing death/grind earlier this year. Here's a live track off said EP: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3fIaLdz ... ure=relmfu

-Sabbatic Goat have signed up with Vault of Dried Bones to release a new demo entitled 'Imprecations of Black Chaos'. Release dates etc. to follow! Sample track can be heard here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMYEuiVNbII

-Sinistrous Diabolus have also confirmed that their long awaited debut full-length 'Total Doom Desecration' will finally be unearthed from the crypts shortly and a split with Vassafor is also in the works. To be released on black wax through Internecion Records - this is a highly anticipated release. Ordering details will soon be made available through the band/label. Sample can be heard here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H71YTUeqNfA
