ESTRICNINA n2-(Fanzine-Spain-1983)

Number 2 of this legendary Spanish fanzine created by a bunch of independent writers/researchers under the coordination of  Rafa Katecagas between Madrid, Valencia and Barcelona.
In this issue interviews to Inter-Terror, Jello Biafra, D.D.A.A., Monaguillosh, Pedro Almodovar, John Cale, Fernando Marquez and articles about Lydia Lunch, Alan Vega, Rock and Nihilism, Ceremonia and Simple Minds + rants, graphic works, old pics, news and music reviews.

v.a.-Noise Against Racism Vol. 2-(HNM Records-UK-2019)

58 tracks by a bunch of antifascists musicians playing various forms of industrial noise.
It was released on the 12th August 2019 as a digital product available on their Bandcamp Page where you can listen to this amazing sampler, download it choosing your price and check their other great releases and related artists.
HNM stands for Harsh Noise Movement and it is been described as a "blueprint for how labels can progress in the digital age without compromising their vision".
Here a small note about this release from their page.
 "It's been 2 years since the first Noise Against Racism compilation was brought out. During that time HNM Records parted company with the other label that hosted it, Blackened Death Records, due to the fact that BDR had previous affiliations with Nazi bands, and the label owner's own previous racist views.
The Noise Against Racism compilation idea was created by HNM Records in the first place and all bands sent material to HNM.
Anyway, enough of the ranting. FUCK FASCISM.
Huge thanks to all that have contributed to this compilation."

I.N.R.I. n1 + I.N.R.I. n2 - (Fanzine-Greece-1986 and 1987)

2 Issues of this rather obscure Greek fanzine focused on the early industrial music scene, the goth rock and the new wave.
Named INBI(translated INRI)the first issue was released in April 1986 in Athens, containing 32 A4 xeroxed pages. The second one was released in early 1987. The mastermind behind them was the painter Alexandros Dimitriades from Volos(Greece), a third issue was planned but never released, some pages were painted by hand after the printing.
The first issue contains an interview to Dead Can Dance, some lyrics by the Greek new wave band Koumpotripes A.E., the discography and biography of And Also The Trees, translated lyrics of Swans, Coil, Death In June, some music reviews, texts and poems by R.R. Hearse and a few more rants.
While the second issue offers to us a translated story of H.C. Andersen, some more poems and text by R.R. Hearse, an interview to Nick Cave, some astonishing drawings and some other poems and lyrics.
These very rare jewels were kindly donated to this blog by my friend Ion of the E.T.C. Group who also provided the very useful info about the subjects covered in these pages. 
A very big "Thank You" to Ion for sharing such amazing and rare zines.
These are only in the Greek language so enjoy them if you are Greek literate.

PEDAGO PARTY-L`Arte Della Rivoluzione-(Self Released-Italy-1983)

First demo by this very original band from Piacenza(Northern Italy)! Although they have been associated with the HC punk movement, Pedago party plays music that crosses various styles touching the post-punk, the goth rock and the punk.
I have already posted their second demo In Sorgere released in 1987.
They formed in 1983 and disbanded in 1991. They have been very close to the anarchist movement during all their life. A sort of biography is here.
Enjoy it.
