Just found in my archive a copy of

GAZE INTO A GLOOM

Issue#1 for free

From Latvia, features articles/interviews about Whitehouse, Raison d'ètre, Kirlian Camera, Institut, Tabula of Slaughter and a bunch of short reviews

Here a web site http://www.giag.lv/english/index.htm

PANIK (US) covered a lot of extreme art and music such as Nitsch, Whitehouse. Issues were printed largescale and featured a lot of artwork.

Here are a few magazines from the '90s that covered the Japanese noise/weird scene pretty intensely:
Exile Osaka
Morai Gero
Ongaku Otaku

indeed it was running for some time as sekuenciasdeculto.com but... sadly disappeared... but their work as a paper magazine was excellent... I remember to read about Freak animal releases on it...

That's a very impressive list that already contains all of the ones I know/know of that I can recall at the moment, so there is not really much I can add to it.

I can add this though ...

Just Glittering was the mag Mark Wharton did before Idwal Fisher. Idwal Fisher is basically the same mag (look, content, style, everything), just with a different name and starting from issue 1 again. I think there was about 7 or 8 issues of each altogether, starting with the first Just Glittering in about 1998 to the last Idwal Fisher in about 2008. I always looked forward to getting the new issue through the post ...

Mark now does an online blog type version of Idwal Fisher, which was initially reviews only (releases and gigs), but he recently posted a new Smell & Quim interview, so it's possible they may become an occasional feature too. A positive 'Special Interests' review was also posted recently.

Admittedly, and somewhat unfortunately, I haven't read anything near the amount of industrial/noise type fanzines/magazines that I have punk/hardcore and grind/death metal type ones. I've read absolutely fucking hundreds of them.

Zeno Marx

One of the best music writers I've ever read used to write reviews and do great interviews for the metal magazine The Pit.  I believe it was based out of Colorado Springs, CO.  He was big into Whitehouse and some of the other early industrial bands, and he'd use that knowledge to throw curve balls when asking questions and reviewing albums.  I sold all my issues, so I can't remember his name.  He was the only one who wrote for that zine who was into this stuff, so he can't be difficult to find within the pages.  I hope he's still writing about music.  He was exemplary.

Shunya Suzuki's Interim Report, spanning all of two issues. #2 covers mainly power electronics, interviews with Intrinsic Action, Whitehouse, Giancarlo Toniutti. Brief MB article. Very short reviews, a number covering AWB releases. Planned Broken Flag profile for issue #3, which I don't think ever materialized. Mr Suzuki apparently had a bit of a reputation as a talker, rather than a doer... IR also released some tapes, notably VAOT, a collection of outtakes from Extreme Music From Japan (which he also compiled for Susan Lawly). VAOT was "reissued" with several different tracks as Japanoise on MSNP.

I'm thinking DIVINITY was from the UK & had something to do with the guy who use to do a trash film zine called SHEER FILTH who went onto HEADPRESS...?

Now I'm thinking "what the hell happened to the huge box of zines I use to have?!?"

What?! No mention of Scraps of Paper ??? How soon they forget...

Actually a great blog with scans of many Industrial / noise / experimental zines can be found here:

Wasn't most of scrap of paper kind of... ehm.. "culture"? word-puzzles, obscure texts, etc. and not interviews/reviews/writings of noise? I have some issues, but not all. I remember friend doing those word puzzles and saying was damn hard. I didn't want to make mess on pages so never even tried, hah..

I think Terror was mentioned, but there is also Sleeping Trouble #1, which is basically harsh noise (wall) zine. Pretty good one that came out just while ago. Only interviews. Cut & paste lay-out in A5. Looks nice, quick to read, but still informative.

narcolepsia

thanks for the nice words on my zine mikko (it is called troubled sleep and not sleeping trouble though)

although the first issue contains a considerable coverage of HNW the zine is by no means a HNW one, my selection is way more personal than a genre confinement

starting to plan issue #2 at the moment, probably keeping the interviews only policy, artist covered will include paranoid time, wince, N. , taskmaster, treriksroset , murder book and some more
