APOCALYPTIC RITES ZINE # VII 2014

I remember like it was yesterday when I got the zine`s first issue from Robin himself. Really, like it was yesterday, no joke here! Right now, the seventh issue is out. Time is flying, indeed. Or maybe it is the editor, not the time itself who`s flying, huh?

Every issue is an improvement if compared with a previous one. What attracts attention is the zine`s diversity: exploration of the Polish and international underground, as well as a number of western bands. I am also happy I have participated in this issue and made thisissue`s cover page.

So the first band to attack is a war metal outfit called NECHBEYTH, and there`s nothing strange about it, except for the fact these guys are from Singapore, and they dont deal with godlyvalues, that`s for sure. Nextcomes RAPTURE from Mexico, maniacs of death metal, as they are. Another band featured is ISTENGOT and ANCIENT CRYPT, both bands hail from the same region. Btw, what the hell, why are there somany good bands in Chile, eh? Does devil himself live over there or what?

So next comes a chat with, not too talkative,JUST BEFORE DAWN. Guys from the Irish worshipers ZOM turnout to be much more interesting.These chaps released an awesome debut album last year. The interview deals with the past of this three-piece band, so everyone who needs to know about this interesting group needs to look no further. Alas, these guys dont talk too much at all, so they dont reveal too much about themselves. POSSESSION did much better.

You guys should read the interview with doom/death`ers ETERNAL ROT. They have released just demo 2007 and grave grooves 7,`` but these guys know what underground is all about. Ok, so ABYSSAL is next, a brutal band that destroys it all, it is surely another good interview. Let`s read about MORTIFICY from Brazil,and Chilean PRAISE THE FLAME, shall we?All you need guys is to listen to bands from this region of the world in order to understand where the devil dwells. DARK MANEGRAM is interviewed as well, and they are from France. Noticeable is the conversation with BOLZER ,a band is from Switzerland, and we could see them live playing together with TRYPTIKON in Cracow. There are some more interviews, namely STRANGE FACTSE IN THE SCALPEL CASE, and black/death SHE`OL from the UK. Plus plenty of reviews that close this issue. So plenty of reading, get it!
