ABSURD N5- An Issue Of Absolute Nothingness-(Fanzine-Greece-2001)

Absurd was an all-English written fanzine from Athens (Greece) active in the early years of last decade. It does cover many aspects of the industrial music scene in Greece and beyond.

For industrial music scene here I mean almost all its subgenres and also difficult music in a broad sense.

The concept itself for editing and writing this issue  is quite genial and I prefer to leave the explanation to the editor :

This issue number 5 evolves into info about quite a few obscure, or less obscure music labels, musicians, gig organizers and music reviews.
In some ways, it looks more like a very useful bulletin with addresses and various info. 

Eventually, I feel this is a very great tool to research the lively international electronic deviated music scene of the early 2000s and at the same time a very nice example of the creative and passionate underground press. 

Thanx to Jason of 1000+1 TiLt Recordings for sending me this astonishing zine a long time ago.

Enjoy it.

A very good production exploring the lively industrial scene from the beginning of the 90s.

Θάνατος Αρχίζει –Γιατί -Λαυχατατάθλιψη [Thanatos Archizei / Begins the Death - Giati / Why - Lauchatathlipsi]-(Fanzine-Greece-198?)

Very rare Greek fanzines from the last century.

These zines were made by the band Mavra Idanika (Black Ideals) from Athens.

Aesthetically very close to some graphic works of bands such as Crass and Rudimentary Peni as well as the messages contained in these great collages.

Thanatos Archizei(Death Begins) contains

graphics works and texts against the army, (nuclear) wars and religions.

Giati(Why) delivers to us some lyrics by Mavra Idanika + messages against prisons/asylums, state violence, family violence, veganism and animal liberation.

Laukatathlipsi offers us contents about sex and gender, religion, the voting system + political parties, animal exploitation and some music reviews. 

These amazing fanzines were printed around the early and mid-80s and are true evidence of the anarcho-punk movement in the Greek capital during these years.

My gratitude to Ionas of E.T.C. label for passing me these 3 obscure pearls from the deep Greek underground scene and for translating their main messages.

Enjoy them if you are greek literate.

NECROPHONIE N1-(Fanzine-France-2005)

The first and the only number of this amazing French zine all written in English! Very well done with long and interesting interviews to Lustmord, Jarl, MK9, Galeria Schallshutz, Nuit Et Brouillard, Citadel, Land:Fire, Propergol, Steel Hook Prostheses, Skm-Etr, Brethren, Barrikad, Kaos Kontrol label and Degenerate fanzine, Bestia Centauri, Somnambulant label, a good report about Providence Industrial festival 2003 + a section with loads of music reviews.

As I met in the virtual world the editor of this fantastic zine I asked him to write a small introduction for this post, A very big thanx to Nicolas for passing me his astonishing work and giving me permission to share it in this blog.

Here his words:"Conceived and assembled from 2003 to 2005, copied and sold in 2006, 200 copies print run. Prior to doing this zine, I was somehow boycotting computers and the internet - to make it, I began to get involved with computers and the internet. That was when social networks (especially early Myspace) began their conquest... I got drowned in this shit, thus there has never been an issue two. The world smothered in even more absurdity."

To complete this post I am attaching the first page with his editorial written back in 2004.

I believe this is a real gem for the lovers of the independent press about post-industrial music and related subjects.

Enjoy it.
