METAL HAVOC ZINE #2 - B/W, 60 pages in half A4 size. This zine is actually dated Dec. 2001 but this is just released this April 'coz Vro's is so fucking busy with his studies like Satan doing his business in hell! Vro will be graduating from college this year & will be entering the Hellish realm of the working class soon!!! Har har har... goodluck mate!!! Anyway, back to the zine...I really got to read this not because I have an interview here (Har har har... many filthy fucking people would really want to kill me now!!!) but because I now have lots of lovely sweet fucking time to read it. I got this copy after I quit my job & move my arse to another place. Back again to the zine... now more philippine bands have an interview here, the legendary bm band "Incarion", the Kristian Annihilators "Korihor" & the death metal band "Pathogen". Bands across the seas are "Twisted Tower Dire", "Aurora Borealis" & "Myth" all of USA, "Lunatic Gods" of Slovakia,  "Alliance" of Finland & "Valhalla" of Germany. Plus some bio/info on "Dream" the dark metal gods of Poland!, DVS Records of Netherlands,  Nightside of Italy, Astaroth of Malaysia & Hammerhawk of Netherlands. Of course you have the music reviews & Vro's "From the past reborns the storm...", a guide to heavy metal paradise! Oh, Metal Havoc zine also has a tape compilation with the bands featured plus additional stuff from other bands. It is sold exclusive in the Philippines & for trade internationally. Do ask for it!! For local bands, Vro is still working on a local compilation, so if you are true to what you are & want to be part of it, just contact Vro. Contact Metal Havoc c/o Alvaro G. Martin Jr, 83 Tugatog St., Bagong Barrio, Caloocan City, 1400 Philippines. E-mail: metalhavoc@edsamail.com.ph 
BAKAL ZINE # 1 - 1st thing, A quick Philippine language lesson, Bakal is Metal in our language, so I'll bet you know what it's all about. 2nd thing, some folks here in the capital thought this was the same as Bakal newsletter that use to be circulating here. So, that is not true. This is Bakal Zine of Davao from the camp of Korihor band. This has a B/W glossy cover & with a simple very readable outline. Abhorrence & aaarrrghh Fuck! Sorry mates! That is the only interview that I read. Because of my fucked-up-time-consuming job I have laid this zine aside 'coz I can always read it when I have more free fucking time time right! But then some shitty thing happened (which is why I am discontinuing my metal activities for now) & I decided to give my copy to Vro of Metal Havoc zine. I totally fucking forgot that I haven't reviewed it yet. You can either wait for Metal Havoc' review or not 'coz if you know the dedication of the Korihor band & their ways of blasphemy you'll know this will be a good read & done in the great underground way! I did fucking browse it & saw not all photos are clear.  This is P200 in the Philippines & $5 elsewhere (pls. verify the price to Obispo 1st!). This is not available for trade which some people I know are  pissed about, well, Obispo had to cover the expenses somehow. Contact? Obispo at asiametal@hotmail.com or Bakal Promotions c/o Marvin Garcia, P.O Box 80436, Davao City 8000 Philippines
