TERROR Zine #1 review

TERROR Zine #1 (Portugal)
April 2007 – English Written
34 pages – A5
Terror Zine is a modest underground and computerized zine into brutal death and goregrind and in fact this is the second issue as the editor Chainsaw Maniac has released an issue #0. The zine is representative of the basic zine into horror and gore which are often used as background images inside the pages plus many flyers of brutal gigs.
The zine started with an article about Japanese grind bands described with a short bio and their discography (for example UNHOLY GRAVE, CATASEXUAL URGE MOTIVATION, CSSO, MAGGUT, and more). The zine features only 5 interviews with LOBOTOMIZED, PUSSYVIBES, NAMEK and SANGUINARY in terms of bands, plus an interview about Petter Baiestorf, an underground DIY gore movie maker from Brazil. This last intie is probably the most interesting for any cheap gore movie maniac! The chats are ok but lack of more coffins’ examination: the editor asks questions too superficially so you have the time to read the whole zine at once while you’re on the shitter.
The zine ends with a bunch of reviews a bit more developed than the interviews but once again, sometimes it’s really insufficient to rip the bowels out.
Not bad, the zine has an interesting overall visual but should improve the length content.
