Darkest greetings to all heathen readers who are laying eyeballs upon these
pages! Here is Natthaphon Kamonsin, the editor of an abyssground metal
publication called Slava fanzine hailing from Thailand or in other words Siam, a
pretty exquisite small country situated in Southeast Asia, where the underground
scene seems not familiar to the metal mass worldwide yet became transcendental
one! Now the time has come, I'm proud lordly to take such responsibility leading
you all to permeate through the pores of our metal scene, an exotic one, perhaps
this is the first time Thai scene report was written and internationalized
broadly so if you are the 'zine / webzine editors, contributors, authors,
journalists or else out there who possess own original similar scene reports
from your dwellings : countries, states, areas, islands, towns or even dark
cellars or possess something fresh as flesh from own pens, maybe some
interesting articles, poems or else...let's trade each other! Or just feel free
to interrogate first for permission of re-printing yonder!
Well, what the hell is up in Thai underground scene? Frankly speaking, here our
scene is not only still very very fucking tiny compared with those of the
neighbourhoods (Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines for example) but
also grows very slowly all the time add to that retarded and polluted by these
following shits as I can think of at the moment! First we have the swarm of
ticks playing hardcore or shitty lousy metal in false way (muSUCK or bad Thai
lyrics, in one way or another) yet these posers call themselves 'metaller' or 'undergrounder'
without sense of shame!! Then second all such don't try to expose their
existences to the overseas, but who the fuck cares? even better fortunately
since such junks will not defile our beloved world scene more filthy, thank FUCK
you!!! The next comes to a huge flock of donkey fans 'n ass followers who
support these fake groups, likely their understandings toward the underground
are dully similar to their lovers, this turns out no correspondences go beyond
from these lazy asses!!! How far can they think they are in the underground even
though they don't know anything about 'zines, distributors or any kind of u/g
activities? They just always pick up from piles of expensive CDs in the stores,
purchase only the licenced cassettes at hand locally or even badly buy tons of
illegal bootlegged copies, of course most of all before-said are bigshot bands
too! Merely bullshit CDs collectors or fuckin' asshole listeners, they are! Not
the underground persons!! They do trends fashionably just for fun or to separate
themselves from the mass! Sure knock these metalwannabes off then praise the
true hordes up here! We still have some true devoted bands, 'zines, labels and
distros hidden in the bottomless pit doing the underground silent movements
strongly but you fools will never know! And last but not least, our scene quite
doesn't grow well for lacking of supportive activities for instance we have gigs
once or twice a year and mostly with shitty acts! No radio shows, no
newsletters, no webzines, no metal shops, no metal pubs and of course no Satanic
churches, haha! I just wish Thai underground scene will get enriched and be
clearly recognized as one of the world scene days to come...
1) HERETIC ANGELS : By
the time H.A. was formed, we had never had even a true metal band before. So
this is the first apparition of the true u/g attacker who loomed here in the mid
of 1992 with the prime aggressive death metal style! Finally, in 1993 the debut
4 songs + intro called "Exterminate The Respiration E.p.'93" was sent
out worldwide as well as spread the name out there pretty well. Then in 1994
they put out a live album called "Savagery In June". I guess both
forementioned stuffs have been already sold out. Overcame to 1997, the long
awaited album titled "Vision Of Calamity" has been unshackled on both
cassette and Cd with 10 new + 2 live songs, still available from the band for
8USD per tape and 12USD per Cd. As well the band longsleeves is available now.
As for the next album pre-titled "Delicious Sinistery", which I'm sure
that if everything goes well without any fuck ups, this new album will be
released by a Japanese label 'Worldchaos Production' very soon in 2001! Heads
up!!! Heretic Angels c/o Rine Heretic (Narine Chanpraneet ; bandmanager &
lyricwriter) ; P.O. Box 6 Taladkhwan, Nonthaburi 11002 Thailand / rine@hereticangels.com

2) SURRENDER OF DIVINITY : Black metal? Yes, that's too! We had never
possessed any black metal band around here before, until 'Surrender Of
Divinity'! The best and the first pioneering of black metal act of Thailand who
shocked the realm of Christianity by serving those christian sluts the unholy
Christbeheading 'till Christskullcrushing semi-melodic fast black metal sound
through Christholocausting lyrics. The horde was gathered in the end of 1995,
until the right time the first assault from the band was unleashed! It was the
Rehearsal demo'98 which contained 4 songs with fast, raw and bad sound! It is
total killer all the time, though! Of course, the band has received tons of
positive reviews from many 'zines worldwide, just as 500 copies have been
totally sold out as well. Apart from the greatest metal concert 'God Beheading
Live 2000' in BKK where S.O.D. has completed the gig with the neighbouring
Godkilling invader from Singapore 'Impiety' perfectly, they also have just
finished small tour in Malaysia and Singapore on stage with many death and black
metal bands there... For now, we are 666% Christdecapitating because their debut
full-length album entitled "Oriental Hell Rhythmics" has been already
released by the biggest label in Malaysia 'Psychic Scream Entertainment' on 19th
December 2000 exactly! Add to that this piece of hell has just a moment ago got
666 skulls review from S.O.D. Magazine!!! Check out now from the band, 6USD for
cassette and 12USD for Cd!! The band T-shirt is also available too! As for the
Reh. Demo'98, I've heard that it will be re-released as Cd format by a French
label 'Drakkar Productions'! Then watch over and stay Satanism!!!

3) NAMELESS AUTHOR : The primeval ungodly brutal
devastator 'Nameless Author' made machination in 1995 to utter threats of strong
hatred and ill natured against the unreasonable Holy 'toilet paper-like' Bible
and its hypocritical Jesus 'gay-like' cunt defiantly! Eventually, in 1997 they
had released a rehearsal demo called "Gift For God demo'97" which
contained 4 songs with pure anti-Christ brutal death metal style in the vein of
Deicide, C.Corpse, Deeds Of Flesh and so on, merely all of 100 copies were sold
out at last to many countries such as USA, Holland, Philippines, Malaysia,
Thailand, etc... But unfortunately, I hardly ever see any movement from the band
for a long time ago add to that I heard of splitting up!! in spite of their
second demo pre-titled "When the Jesus Christ escapetion The cross"
had been planned, what a shame! At all events, we still wishful thinking for
their rebirth! So for the time being, I can leave you nothing but the band's
address. Then gamble for getting the demo'97 by sending 2USD or 2I.R.C. + a
blank tape, but I can't guarantee if your letter will be answered!! -Hot tip- At
last Satan blessed us, HA-HA-HA!!! I've just heard of re-forming and starting a
bit of rehearses of Nameless Author, then if they are over active continually...
I'm rather sure that their next material will see daylight very soon! So don't
lose touch with them!!!

4) DEATHGUY : The new hope youngsters of
melodramatic side of brilliant and superior death metal art 'Deathguy' steadily
gave a salute to the scene in August 1998, up to the present time the band has
already unchained 2 releases! The first outburst before full line-up was
unveiled by two founders, called "Introduction E.p.'98" which
contained intro + 4 songs of unstopable extreme death / thrash metal freak with
2 different vocals and unwise (!!!) Thai lyrics. The time ago gone with more
musical composing talented & better sense of lyrical writing, finally the
full band has come up stronger than ever with the second opus, a concept album
entitled "The Secondary Quest : The Legend of Romancer L.p.2000" which
embraced 7 songs + a brutal sadistic bonus track throughout almost 50 minutes
with well-played melodicism fantastic powerful death metal combo along with
sky'ey enchanting synthwork doing plus guttural growl 'n blackish screech
spelled towards fabulous lyrics inspired by the band leader greatly out in
August 2000! Both stuffs are still available from the band for 4USD / 6USD as I
particularly ordered. And now in 2001 they have The Secondary Quest Live Concert
T-shirt and longsleeves for sale too! Their gigs always kick ass and make the
crowd out of breath then go off their fucking heads! Try some, you will know!!!

5) LACERATE : Another pure fuckin' undeniably
talented act of ultimate megafurious brutal deathster full of hatred and
vengeance 'Lacerate' came into existence back then under the name 'Assomer' in
1996, until turning into 'Lacerate' at last... The band relentlessly performs in
cold blood the sickest gory intense brutal death metal musick answer to Cannibal
Corpse and Suffocation!!! In due time, their 1 song promotion tape'98 which
contained a good song called "Soul of Revenge" was recorded for
spreading all around among the other bands and fanziners, available by sending a
blank tape + some sufficient return postage. And recently on 5 Jan. 2001, this
trio has just unleashed a debut material so-called "Lacerate demo2000"
which included 4 songs of forceful blasting 'from earsplitting then facesmashing
'till boneshredding' hellish beats with bloodcurdling growl & a shard of
glass screech! This stuff can be yours against the price only 3USD(Asia) /
4USD(World)! Write now before it's too late!!!

6) IN DARKNESS I DWELL : This obscure blacken horde
has lately embraced the call up from the ash of 'Annular Eclipse (maybe R.I.P.)'
and has indulged themselves into the world of darkness since the last dim light
of Annular Eclipse was blown out... Date back to the past, A.E. was assembled
under the dark of the moon in the end of 1998 to execute the grim and gruesome
dark / black metal descending total ear-drums! Once and for all, the band
emancipated a 2 songs promotion tape'99 into the underground scene and received
quite excellent responses from some 'zines, compilers and other audiences... But
unluckily some members disbanded, thus the horde leader decided to subside A.E.
then lightened the name 'In Darkness I Dwell' instead to be original for the new
line-up. I have no idea enough about this band yet even a band logo!!? Haha!!!
But I ensure you that they will not disappoint us certainly because now they are
working hard for the first opus, still the same stile as A.E.'s or a bit
changeable dark / black metal!!! For those who are still interested in A.E.'s 2
songs promo tape'99, try to email / write them personally first! Goodluck!!

7) DARK MYSTERY : As dark as a night spent in the
deepest forest 'Dark Mystery' was engendered around 1995-1996 by just one
creator who launched into the creation of evil black metal sound by his own
hands solely due to lacking of another musicians who were interested to join in.
He still continued composing the songs along with seeking for the bandmembers
persistently... Overcame to 1999 he could not accomplish the aim of having full
line-up yet, nevertheless he determined to do everything by himself... so in the
end of 1999 the debut output was released and titled "Castle Of Sorrowful
E.p.'99" which held 4 songs with the depressive melodic fast black metal
style! Available by sending the payment of 3USD(Asia) / 4USD(World) or trade.
But now Dark Mystery has just completed the full line-up and their first time on
stage has recently passed over at 'Dark Oracle Live II' 11 Nov. 2000! What a
show!! As for their next material, it seems to be working on right now! T-shirt
is maybe still left. For more info write / email them by yourself!!

8) CALORIC : The newborn majestic melodic black
metal hellhorde hails from the northern part of Thailand 'Caloric' has not
released any recorded material yet since the band was formed newly with the
steadfast stronghold of five demonic slaughters and one feminine evil on
chorus!! We acknowledged their excellent skills and great team-work of how the
crowd's madness and chaos can be extremely after this new-comer had totally
burned the hall of 'God Beheading Live 2000' with well-played on infernal speed
followed by screeching hacksaw vocal (ex-vocalist of Nameless Author)!!!
Unforgettable night of Caloric's live action!!! Of course, the great live show
made my appetite whet for a great demo! And now they are lying low earnestly for
doing something on pro like 4 songs demo tape or suchlike! Face north!!!

9) SHAMBLES : Thailand's most rascally murderous
grind act 'Shambles' has permeated into the underground scene since the
beginning of 1997 as a trio band... Afterwards in 1998 the band entered the
studio for recording something on 8 track which definitively was called
"Carnival Of Bloodshed demo'98"and contained 7 songs of pure blasting
grinding death / thrash metal with the touch of grindcore feeling united in
ultrafuck rasp vox!!! This stuff is still available by sending your hidden cash
only 4USD(World) to Dark Oracle Records. Nowadays Shambles is taking a long
break because of their drummer's military service so the today's line-up
consists of 5 guys (incl. forementioned drummer) who are waiting for the right
time to put out a new material with undecided mind of which will going on when
the drummer come back, between changing of their music style or remaining of
their unchangeable grindcore / death metal as always! But who the fuck cares??
that is the future where the time will show!! For the time being, support
them!!!

10) INFERNAL VILE : Acclaimingly speaking, the
pernicious evil-minded today already flock together! at least mightily feat.
Chote from Heretic Angels and Jakkapong from Gortia! This bunch of Christ
terrorizers plays black metal melodically and their first appearance has just
once passed at 'Dark Oracle Live II' but due to my fuckin' temporary job, I came
late half-way then fatefully missed this interesting new band and the two others
which I don't really care for both much ; Last Revenge and Black Fire. Infernal
Vile still has no any releases yet, but one thing for sure is that their base,
Dark Oracle Records, has just brought off the band's 4 songs + intro E.p. which
is soon to be released in this year 2001! Can't wait it, man!!

11) BLACK FIRE : I don't know how else to describe
this band musically if not a Deathguy clone! (but the true one is undoubtedly
better in every way!) Black Fire was formed in 1999 by Nuttaphum, the guitarist
of Deathguy then started to play a kind of weird metal which they call it 'power
death metal'. According to all 4 songs from their first recording titled
"Born to be Burn E.p.", where they labeled it is full of aggressive
power and gothic romance, really stupid Thai lyrics written in Kara-o-ke way
(!?) about getting rid of evil things, anti-gays and failing in love are there,
what the hell!!? There is no problem if you dare to lose some bucks, it costs
you 4USD. I have heard a bit about their coming material and of course I expect
something much more serious and professional! Man, that is why I write about
your band here...You have the time for the better! Find an exact style, compose
more wealthy music and write the appropriate lyrics for it!!
Black Fire ; 683/17 Soi Jarunsanitwong 43, Bangkoknoi, Aroonummarin, Bangkok
10700 Thailand OR Deathguy's address referred to Black Fire.
12) SHE'S GORE : The probable most semen &
blood-drenched psychosadistic grim gore around! and the protagonist of this
project is Thanit of Deathguy who has already clenched a handful of illicit
songs for the debutante to be released fuckin' soon! To be honest
, I used to hear the pre-listening once by telephone but at short notice...so
sorry I can't recall it well enough at once, but really not bad I can say!!
Instead of it, let me quote something from the lyrics of a song called 'God on
Fire' here : 'Spasmodic body is in my rape. She just the flesh who believe in
God. She called his name everytimes I thrust.' Ok, hope you guys now really
crave to get this piece of
sCUM!! And you should touch the stuff by now after read this! That is for sure!!
She's Gore write to Thanit of Deathguy.
13) LIFE AFTER DEATH : Warning : True metal
advisory explicit undevoted action!!! Hah, read this...you will see!!~ 'Life
After Death' comes from the northeast of Thailand adjoining Laos (hehee!!) where
a local death metal band named 'Antisocial' was deep-rooted in 1998 then owned
their demo'99 a year later for promotion in Thailand only!!? What a lazy ass!!!
Antisocial tried to be prominent originally by experimenting mixable feelings
between death metal and a bit of traditional indigenous northeast Thai music!
Good idea, it is not done! but the output still left a lot to be desired and not
my cup of tea!!! Furthermore as I stressed everywhere 666 times!! I utterly hate
fucking Thai dull lyrics without any exception forevermore!!! Do not mention
about it! Back to L.A.D. topic, the guy of Antisocial indicated us thru some
local 'zines that he has formed a new band called 'Life After Death' which has
already given birth to their promotion tape titled "After Life
demo'01" which comprised one song + intro & outro with melodic death
metal style! I guess it is free except some postage one or two dollars. Hey,
man! Be serious with worldwide correspondences too! as well as do more
international work (lyrics, etc.) for your future releases! We shall wait and
see!!

INFERNAL DEMON FANZINE / YOU DIED FANZINE / WITCHHAMMER
PRODUCTION : These all mentioned devilish works are ruled here by 'Jerasak
Chotisatayangkool' who has been around in the worldwide u/g metal scene for
almost two decades so far! The first forerunner of Thailand's English written
metal fanzine by all means as Infernal Demon 'zine was befallen first with the
Christchallenging chaos cut & paste style which he always remains this for
every issue of both I.D. 'zine and Y.D. 'zine! You Died 'zine was followed as an
afterprojected brutal death gore grind fanzine written in improvise English on
A5 format as always! (Except only I.D.#1 which was done on A4 format and also
was the only one pro-printed issue.) And I gotta talk about his Infernal Demon
compilation tape vol.1 "Only Christian Die" as well, in which 20 bands
from the international black and death metal scene were contained on C.90!! This
stuff is still available for 5USD from his address as well as I.D.#1 (7USD), #2
(5USD), #3 (4USD) and Y.D.#1, #2, #3, #4 (All 4USD) or trade. Write to Jerasak
today for your exotic collection before it is too late! As for Witchhammer
Production, which has been founded by himself and his bloodbrother, has released
just the licenced pro-tapes of bands like Engorged, Skinless, Desecration, Thy
Primordial, Aborted, etc. and tons to come for distributing in Thailand and
sometimes Asian area. The next step is to find a metal band for his own label's
care sooner of later!! True u/g bands discuss him now! His 'zines and label
seriously support all of true u/g metal mayhem, not untrue idiot shitty
groups!!!

SLAVA FANZINE / PRODUCTIONS : These are the
supportive works of the man responsible for all those sinful vices acted on
viscerated dead Jesus Christ flyers which have been spread around for ages
before the enlightenment of Slava! Allright! Now is the turn to present what at
the hand of me 'Natthaphon Kamonsin', you christian bastards!! After a long time
of goings and comings, finally the debut issue of this English written
deepest-underground metal press 'Slava fanzine' has been now CUM out profanely
with total 88 A5 kult 'n brutal pages in obscure cut & paste vein!! Out
along with Slava compilation tape vol.1 "Believing a virgin sacrifice would
earn us 'a ticket to hell'" (SVP 001) which consisted in the gathering of
21 underground death and black metal bands from many countries on pro-C.90 with
full colour cover! Priced altogether for 7USD(Asia) / 8USD(Elsewhere) or
equivalent trade to make you read the 'zine with the volume turned really
fuckin' loud!!! At this moment Slava comp. tape vol.1 seems to be the only stuff
released by Slava Productions since my label is quite new and small, so any
offers or collaborations of labels / bands for doing split or compilation as
well as any small unsigned bands who are interested to be my rosters are
encouraged to write for discussion! Also my still short merchandise mailorder
list is available by request and traders are always welcomed! CUNTact me now or
die in heaven!!!
Slava 'zine / Prods Find it!
PURE HOLOCAUST FANZINE / DISTRIBUTION : One out of
a few here worth focusing first in consideration of being in our mother tongue,
even so has always tried to expose such name as well as issue the copies abroad!
Here is 100% serious and dedicated pure underground printed work edited by 'Chainarong
Meprasert', the penpusher and also the vokiller of Shambles! There are three
issues out as of writing this and the third is recently the better improvement
on the previous ones, also first time with b/w pro-printed glossy paper for
cover and split flyer w/ Surrender Of Divinity! All issues are purchasable if
you are careless about the language used, 1USD is proper for such slight 24 A5
pages of 'Into The Dark Realm' issue#1 whereas 3USD should work for the better
on more A4 pages of 'Satanic Arrival' issue#2 and 'Mystical of Paganism'
issue#3! And another important thing is that Chainarong has just set up his
distro with the same name of the 'zine, where mostly you can find underground
stuffs from Thailand, while few others from overseas, at the appropriate prices
or by trade. Today's mailorder list is still lacking in huge titles, but by and
by... He is always looking for quality releases from the underground to be
included in the list, so all parties are encouraged to deal with! And who said
that PH 'zine strictly supports only the true u/g metal hordes, Satanism,
paganism, terrorism and the war against those weak religions, I just agree!!
Pure Holocaust 'zine / Distro. See Shambles 's address.
CHERISH THE DARKNESS FANZINE : The most last long
standing celebrity amidst all of Thai written fanzines herein, which has been
issuing all along for 5-6 years so far with today's dozen issues reached! C.T.D.
'zine is quite outstanding specially with own unique writing style of an
open-minded mainspring editor named 'Envoy Death' who is kindly generous enough
to support all Thai bands no matter how much more or less quality and devotion
do those bands make!?? He has been very friendly to everyone who inclines
towards extreme music as long as never been atenmity with any shitty Thai bands
and HC groups all the time since the first 3 issues were started as simple
xeroxed wad of sheets called 'Disciple Of Satan death metal 'zine' for spreading
within 'Disciple Of Satan fanclub' itself, but it sounds so silly talking about
such Thai death metal fanclub in my 'zine! No matter!! Then finally Rine Heretic
(Heretic Angels), one of C.T.D. contributors, came up with the name 'Cherish The
Darkness 'zine' for #4 and the next thereafter! Ok, just remember that C.T.D.
'zine is always on A4 size with the intention to support all extreme bands
wherever!!! Wanna promote your stuffs here in Thailand? If yes, write him now!
And wanna see (but can't read!?) something like an ancient form of writing? If
yes, order it now! Only 3USD per issue! And the 13th issue is now on store!!

MAELSTROM666 FANZINE / PRODUCTIONS / DISTRIBUTIONS /
VIVIVI FANZINE : One definite English written Thai underground fanzine
worth talking about at the moment, came off down there in the far southward
province, Satun city, by the editor 'Phithak Phansri' who has made the firm of
supporting mainly towards Southeast Asian, Asian and also sometimes the rest of
the world scene, the same aim likely goes to his other 'zine, distro and label
as well. About MS666 'zine flash back to the first and second issue, they both
were written in Thai language with A5 xeroxed pages passably, before surpassing
into English written for the third one which has already followed up by now with
72 A5 cut & paste pages and costs you only 4USD! As for VIVIVI 'zine which
was intended as a black metal 'zine, has shown interested in all bands into
Satanik black / dark metal styles and now be prepared for the debut strike!!
Also Maelstrom666 compilation tape one resulted from MS666 'zine that I would
like to recommend, in which is replete with 13 songs in different styles from 13
underground bands inside C.60 and comes with full colour cover, against your
damn 4USD(Asia) / 5USD(World)! Such price is also meant for the second volume's,
in which this time only death / brutal / grind bands were compiled! Phithak is
also running Maelstrom666 Productions, his still small D.I.Y. label, where has
already released something out like one from a few versions of brutal
Singaporean Vrykolakas 's E.p.2000 (5USD) and "Claws Of Twilight
demo'01" of Effluvium melodic death band from Philippines (4USD)! Thai
metalheads can ask him for a short mailorder list of Maelstrom666 Distributions
too! Everyone get in touch!!

BASTARD FANZINE / DISTRIBUTION : Another quality
fanzine which must definitely be the most promising one of Thai written 'zine
scene today with 110% exclusively devoted to the music only, from death / black
/ dark / doom / gothic / grind / brutal / noise to all underground metal styles,
published with seriousness by the editor 'Kritsakorn Thirasattayawong' who tries
to bring valuable information about the sorts of music we all adore into his
'zine which is getting better with each new issue! Even those who might had seen
Bastard 'zine ever in its earthly incarnation with some disappointments or even
some who might had blamed with strong language for being translated 'zines of
the first two issues, certainly changed their minds after the third and latest
fourth ones had reincarnated on new A4 size with own talented interviewing
greatly! I don't know exactly the price for the foreigners but I think 3USD each
will do, likewise at this same price you can as well have his Bastard 'zine /
dist. compilation tape vol.1 "Metalcohol" which featuring 15 songs
from 15 bands of death / black / grind / brutal styles mostly from European
scene and also some Demo bands from Thailand included on C.60. Note that bands
just send him your Cd or Cd-r's for taking part in the next volume(s) which will
be out on Cd-r format with free copy guaranteed! Also worth mentioning that
Kritsakorn is doing D.I.Y. tape distribution for metal Thailanders, so if your
bands interest him and also can cooperate at 'master + covers' level, may you
can make a deal! All drunken morbidheads wake up now! Bastard 'zine for bastard
people is here!!

DARK FANZINE : Only new little local publication
coming from the northeast of Thailand occupied by the editor 'Werachon
Kaewrawang' who has just introduced some fanzine freaks here and there to his
first issue which everything inside is so crudely made just as drawn into really
raw cut & paste way over 36 A5 pages with Thai writing, but mere 2USD can
work so you will not suffer much. Anyway, what 'zine starts off without need for
improvement? The second issue is now in progress, so let's judge from that! Who
knows? the future ones may kill!!

SADISM FANZINE : Here is the birth of the brand new
death metal 'zine which is as usually focused on death / brutal / gore / grind,
of course the editor 'Katrat Thongkom' has destined for the lovers of brutal
music mainly and as much will be crammed in English written debut issue damned
soon! So if your activities are into stuffs like that and want to appear on
Sadism pages, just drop him a line now!! Sadism 'zine c/o Katrat Thongkom ; P.O.

BLEEDING IN CANVAS FANZINE / WORSHIPSATAN MAGAZINE
: I close the chapter of Thai publications now with such two inferior presses of
the editor 'Yongyuth Hongsa' who must work more on himself (e.g. Thai / English
grammar & spelling, etc.) and start learning how to make a fair one. Anyway,
much as I dislike him doing those things, but if he does for the underground...
that is OK. To cut it short, Bleeding In Canvas #1 and #2 were skimpingly
written in Thai, before turning into English edition for #4 and the others to
come (Where the fuck is your #3, dude?), while Worshipsatan mag. relates only to
black metal music with two Thai written issues passed and the prices of both
titles are about 3-4USD per copy, I mean if you can accept the unedifying 'zines
with dull repetitive questions full of mistakes and phrases without any sense as
well as some silly jests floating around. For me, a huge improvement would be
very needful for his future issues, just wait and see!!

INCOFFIN PRODUCTIONS : InCoffin encompasses a
mailorder service and a young record label, of which the boss is 'Whathayakorn'
the guitarist of Surrender Of Divinity! The mailorder service has more than 250
items of CDs / tapes / 'zines / T-shirts exclusively for sale in Thailand with
from time to time updated list that can be obtained by sending him a stamp.
About the label, it was started later with a purpose to present the licenced
tapes off of the killer underground releases for distributing and marketing
inside country, so far ICP has satanically presented on store all right licensed
albums of the great bands like Impiety, Anatomy, Surrender Of Divinity and many
more to come! Furthermore, Whathayakorn is now doing the Thailand promotion for
Malaysian label, Psychic Scream Entertainment (Contact PSE[Siam] for more info
at psychicsiam@thaimail.com) moreover at that glory day the guy had organized
here the unholiest metal concert, God Beheading Live 2000, before he planned
things for the second holocaust this year! Can't wait! Whathayakorn is one of
those Christbeheaders uncompromisingly, you know, so don't expect to find any
wimpy gay metal from ICP 'cause only black fucking metal is real here!!

DARK ORACLE RECORDS : Something like a small
unprofitable record label that must be known among metal fans here, where you
can find some releases like Shambles Demo'98, Gortia Demo'99, Black Fire E.p.,
Deathguy E.p.'98 (All 4USD), L.p.'00 (6USD) and
a few soon to come. And since seemingly to be a fanclub as well, everybody
interested can freely join. The guys 'Jhob & Tong' were also responsible for
Dark Oracle Live I&II, one from only a few concert titles worth memorizing
here! For more details on Dark Oracle's items, just check out its webzine (as
what the webmaster called it) at the very same URL as Deathguy's or you must
write!

INFIDEL RECORDS : To be honest, since I have never
contacted with the guy 'Surin Kaewpluek' nor do I have seen any product from
this label yet, I am not sure if what he presents is music label. I have only
his flyer which is something like the rubber stamp stamped on a small sheet with
the word 'distro.' added, thus maybe Infidel Records is just a small
distribution for the time being. Sorry if I am wrong, so from the postal address
here you can find out by yourself!
