Vicomte de Neurasthénie Zine #12 review

VICOMTE DE NEURASTHENIE ‘Zine #12 (France)
Winter 2007
32 pages A4 – French written
This regularly released and dedicated fanzine doesn’t change that much since I know it. I own some previous issues and I must say I don’t see any real improvement but just a single will to support the scene.
Beside metallic culture and his involvement in the black metal band ANCETRES, the editor is a complete obsessed maniac of Atari (described as his own world) so his zine is made through an Atari computer (lay out is done in an ok manner although it lacks a bit of bloody intentions) and so he includes articles about everything concerning Atari from games to annual games meeting. To be honest I don’t give a fuck about it.
About the musical content you find the usual interviews (far too short if you ask me; you can feel lucky when the guy answering is talkative because it’s often far too short and using the same conventional questions), a bunch of reviews (Demos,CD, LP, zines) you also can read articles about….Atari (of course), torture (cool idea!), poetry and demons (it sucks!).
The editor has the bad habit to make some awful mistakes concerning the French language which is sometimes purely slaughtered…
Interviews featured are USTHEN, CROSSINGATE, FRENCH METAL Webzine, RAIMES FEST, NAASTRAND, etc…
