Dear Author,

We think that you have one or two valid points, but feel that you went over top on some things and came over rude whether you stated that you're racist or not, it's the overall message and feeling that comes from reading an article like that! For your information, racism means: the act of discriminating against one race, which means placing the blame on the whole race rather than on the individuals!
Maybe you had bad experiences pertaining to "black people" but you need to open your eyes and get out of your box which you appear to be living in and open your eyes to realize that there is only one race: THE HUMAN RACE

Dea,

About the 'zine..thanx for sending me one! I went through it and basically read it from cover to cover, and I must say I was impressed! You've got a good thing on your hands, and I hope it doesn't stop anytime soon. Interesting interviews, cool layout and features (BM Petey!) and an overall good job from cover to cover. I can't wait to see the next one.

Matt here of UNBURIED! I got the 5 copies of "Metal Mafia" 'zine. Thanks for the killer support in your brutal pages! I enjoy reading your zine, it's great! I hope it does well. How many copies did you print? Some of my favorite UNDERGROUND bands were in your zine. I read your piece about racism in Canadian Assault! I enjoyed it, along with the interview with M.M.! Keep up the sick work Dea!

Stay Brutal,
Matt/Unburied

Dea,

Hey there goofy girl, what's up? Just got a copy of the Mafia from Jill. Damn good job with the zine and many thanx for publishing my interview. I thought that the layout and articles were excellent. Also, many congratulations for the killer review in Metal Maniacs. It ain't every day that they say something good about someone who deserves it.

Hi Dea,

Here's Gab from NIHILISTIC HOLOCAUST! Thanks for your letter and sending the zine. Find enclose my #2 for a review in your next issue.

I haven't found your zine really interesting because the reviews aren't criticall. You give good reviews to shit bands and I don't like so much the bands you interviewed! Remember the music without emotions sucks!

I'm waiting for your answer.

Double Dea!

What's up sick chick?! Hey, it was great to finally meet you in Cleveland! Even though we didn't get to talk much. I was so busy all weekend helping Bastard, running our distro. table, & trying to catch all the bands I wanted to see. I probably looked like shit Saturday when I talked to you & Carolyn because I had only had like 4 hours of sleep the past 2 days. So that was Carolyn Wheeler? I never would've recognized her, she looked alot different than when I saw her in W. Virginia. Anwyays it sux our CDs weren't there. We could've unloaded like 500 of them to distros & in sales. We might have them by now, I need to talk to Bastard. Thanx for giving me your new issue! It's really good. I'm pretty proud of that interview too! I about died laughing when I read the part about Death Row Rec.!! Word!!! Ha Ha!

Dea,

HAIL! Thank you for sending a copy of Metal Mafia #7. I can honestly say it is quite good! I've read a lot of 'zines and some are pretty lame. But, I really appreciate the resources that are put into putting out a 'zine, being in a band etc.....You are the Queen of Metal Goddess!

Kevin/Drawn & Quartered

-I- -I- -I- -I- -I- -I- -I- -I- -I- -I-

Oh My Goddess! Or Oh My Dea, if you prefer it! As the 2nd is the Italian translation of the first..

What's up there? I hope well!! But I was forgetting to introduce myself!!! I'm Giorgio and I'm writing from Italy where I run a distro involved in sick stuff only, as you can notice from the old list I've sent you...Why the Spewish guy is writing at you? Well...there's not a solid reason! Only the will to correspond with a girl which seems very involved into the underground and for this reason a very interesting girl in my opinion!!!! Perhaps even better when I'll know you well!!!

The fact is that I was speaking with Jill G. from Razorback about the Triumvirate of Witches involved in da underground..one of course is Jill, the 2nd (the daughter) should be easily Raf from Headfucker...but it lacked the third!!! Jill suggested me your name, and with a name as yours, I wouldn't miss to write you...so I'm here!!! (with the excuse to test if your really are a witch of the triumvirate, if you deserve to be enclosed with the role of the holy ghost..ofcourse evil holy ghost!!! Despite the name that you carry which would imply good behaviors!!!)

How are things for Metal Mafia? Another name connected with the Italian language!! It's incredible!! I hope well!! I've already received your flyers, but lazines in primis contributed missing writing at you. I read also your letter into one of the Wild Rags newsletter, complaining about Richard and the way he corresponded with people!!! I don't know exactly how the things were going,but I think that he whould be the last one on this planet to complain about others!!! He who has fucked up and kicked in the ass a lot of groups from all over the world. With his releases without quality, at least speaking about layout & packaging..he still lives in the 50's, and perhaps he lives in a black & white world!! As all his CD covers are!!

But I do not want to throw shit at him!! I've never been damaged by him with the business relation that we had for the distro. that I have, but ofcourse...still hearing all that shit about him makes you reflect a bit and avoid, if you can, every relationship with him!!!!

Dea,

Hello. Phil here.

Thanx for trading again. I'm not expecting to have them long. I always sell your 'zine. I think your new issue is great. I really hope that Metal Mafia is going to take off very soon for you. You deserve it.

Dea,

Thanks again for your quick response to my last order. When I initially ordered Metal Mafia #6 from you, I sent out for several other fanzines as well. Two of them still haven't responed yet (6 weeks) and here I am placing a 3rd order with you. Speed is an asset and you've got it in spades.

Metal Mafia #7 was quite an improvement. I guess when you have time to do things, it helps. The Mike Coles interview was great because it was a live talk and you two obviously knew each other before. That familiarity makes for good reading. E-mail is a great thing, speed, saves money on phone bills, etc., but nothing beats a live one-on-one talk. I also liked the Unburied interview, especially Mark Riddick who sounds like a fascinating guy. My only complaint is not giving them an extra page and talking some more about Mark's side projects and live performances at the art gallery. Not many people in death metal are that diverse and if they are, they usually suck.

Jill's' interview with Morgue was great. They get the award for biggest smartasses of the year. The impressive thing was that they always got the question answered within the comedy.

What, no Bill Z. cartoon? I was crushed. There are so many ways to humiliate him. You've only just begun. I'm begging you to make it a regular installment.

I noticed Jill is starting her own zine. Is she cutting back at yours, moving on, or does nothing change?

From the men out here, thanks for only listing us 50th on your hate list. We could have easily been much higher. I liked the picture pages also. Are you that tall or was the photographer a midget? (pierced tongue picture)

Thans again for your speedy replies.I look forward to hearing from you.

Dea!

Howdy podna! You had me cracking up with your last letter. "Sup Gee?" That's what my best friend Shannon says when she calls me. We're the lives of the party. Water balloons, drinking, games, and cock rings & nipple clips in the pinata!! Why did you call me a big baby, you moron?!?! HaHa!! I liked the new issue but writing..."Anthony Campagna (God I'm a moron!)" was kind of repetetive, no? HaHa!! I kill me! I didn't think your piss off list was long enough, too. I hope you have time 'cause I'd like to chime in....
(EDITOR'S NOTE: If you have not read my piss off list yet, this will make absolutely no sense--Dea)

Dea,

Already I have gone through the 'zine a dozen times. I love it! I was a little pissed at the Piss Me Off List, #41, because I'm usually driving. It takes a lot to drive, smoke, keep you guys laughing, drink and go through all my boring stories of my tribs & trobs as a young guy in the 80's. I'm letting you and anyone else's ass who gets in the car sit back, fire up, and enjoy the ride. We'll get there.

Your Friend,
Dave
