INFERNAL DEATH ZINE #10 2014

We`ve had to wait for this highly respected underground zine for 14 years. It was worththe wait. INFERNAL DEATH is still as deadly as it used to be. Just looks different. It is not a photocopied zine any more, but a fully professional magazine. Don’t get me wrong, it is not a commercial magazine, no. Same shit as usual, but more mature, so to speak;especially when it comes to its content.

Przemek did his best to get this issue look really interesting. As I was reading this zine, I was getting more and more happy. The first one to be asked was Manuel Joker Henrigues who we all know from ANGEL BUTCHER/UGANAGA and, most importantly, legendary SARCOFAGO. Joker is an extremely nice guy who`s got plenty to say, so go read it! Splendidly, besides bands, there are interviews with Piotr Bojko, the guy responsible, to a great extent, for Metal Archives, TAARMA – an obnoxious black metal band from Pakistan. This band is really exotic, as you probably know this part of world abhors and despises Devil metal. So, go and read what the guy behind TAARMA, Black Tears has got to say. An interview with Piotr Weltrowski is an interesting one; this guy participated in writing “Confessions of a Heretic.”

Next comes a nice chat with Levi, a Polish underground old timer, who`s been into NEOLITH for ages. Another old timer in this issue is EricCutler from Autopsy, asked about their full length “Headless ritual.”The next interview deals with BartekKrysiuk(Hermh, Witching Hour Productions). There is also an interview with Jacek Szczepanski.These who are better informed, know him asVenom(XANTOTOL). We have some rotting raw flesh in form of an interview with Cyjan from DEAD INFECTIONfrom the city of Bialystok and who`s recently joined EVIL MACHINE. Take a look at the interview with TENEBRISfrom Lodz, which released a very progressive and very interesting album “Alpha Orionis.”There is a nice chat with Mscislawknown from, among others,ULCER, BLASPHEMY RITES, BLAZE OF PERDITION and tons of other bands.

That being the tenth issue of INFERNAL DEATH zine, Przemekdid not forget about his old friends, and he interviewed JarekSzubrycht(LUX OCCULTA) and SlawekNitupskifrom unforgettable BLACK ASTRAL,and even some older band called NORTHLAND. Interestingly, the hatchet was buried betweenRob Darkenof GRAVELAND and Przemek, who interviewed him; a humorous conversation with NORTHERN PLAGUEand “Poland`sStephan King” - LUKASZ ORBITOWSKIwhere you can learn how a typical day of a writer looks like, what his fascinations and interests are.

OLD SCHOOL METAL MANIAC interview, which is my humble me. An interesting interview with Peterfrom VADER, not too much about the music, but more about other General`s fascinations. WINDHAM HELL is ok, and classic rotting flesh which is CIANIDE, ISTENzine and Mikkothe zine maker. A strong point is undoubtedly an interview with MikeBrowningfrom NOCTURNUS/AFTER DEATH. It all ends with an interview with Michal Wardzala. I think there is something interesting in this issue for anyone. I do hope Przemekis not going to spend another 14 years for another issue of his zine!
