R`lyeh is one of the most interesting underground zines, and this is not only my opinion. Sure, some can say now I want to lick Adrian`s ass. That`d be too far, as I am trying to be as objective as possible, when it comes to evaluation of this zine. Just take a look at all the 11 issues of this zine, so you`ll surely understand what I am talking about.

The newest issue of this zine is a real Metal Bible. 116 pages of meritoriously perfect materials. The zine looks very old school, and this is why it is a pure pleasure to hold it in one`s hands. This issue has got plenty of very interesting articles, from ANAL VOMIT to PUNGENT STENCH.

Right from the very first pages of this issue,the zine is emanating with Infernal power. The interview with Sobiech fromRITUAL LIAR is a strong punch to start with. Next comes the conversation with the veterans of the American scene – CANNIBAL CORPSE. The underground “fuck-ups”section comes after that.Wealso have the interviews with PARRICIDE, LEGENDARY BLOOD and DYSPHOBIA. Adrian did not forget about the kings of the metal – the DIAMOND KING it is, of course. Another band featured in this issue is IMMOLATION, the gods of death metal they surely are.

Thanks to R`lyeh, we can learn how PROTECTOR is doing. This interview is one of the best in this issue. After many years of inactivity, the prodigal son Gunther Theysis back with his unholy child ANCIENT RITES. Want to know what`s up with this Belgian band? Go and read this interview. When it comes to Polish groups, we have got ARKONA, Miras from Rise For Victory Zine, a powerful conversation betweenWojciech Lis and Adrian from split-upIMPERATOR. It is a very interesting, yet controversial interview, which shows us the IMPERATOR that we haven’t known of before.

We also have a conversation with NON OPUS DEI, BETRAYER - this band that has recently resurrected, EPITOME, ANIROE. Leon ManssurNecromaniac is from Brazil and tells us about APOKALYPTIC RIDES. Traditionally, there is a nice section – From Behind the Bars,and this time we can read aboutHEGEMOON. If you need something exotic, you ought to read the Malaysianunderground scene report. The interview with MASACRE is for real maniacs of extreme stuff.

Additionally, there are over 400 reviews, including underground press; some more interviews with OFFENCE/EXHALATION, DECEPTION, HOLODOMOR, PAGANIZER, HYPNOS and HELLION. Just curious if there is anyone who`s got any doubts this zine is kind of lacking something?Well, you go and bust your dumb head against a wall, and speed up well before you do, first. I am looking forward to #12 which is due in March 2015. Write toAdrian, P.O. Box 20, 02- 919 Warsaw 76 POLAND or Adres poczty elektronicznej jest chroniony przed robotami spamującymi.
