Industrial / noise / experimental magazines that has existed?

[davenpdx]

Time to revive this thread...

There have been a few good noise/experimental/industrial 'zines published from the US recently. I'm glad to see issues of New Forces being released on a semi-regular basis--the last issue is #3 and is of the same high quality as previous issues. As people have stated elsewhere, the editor's enthusiasm for harsh noise (and related genres) comes across clearly on every page... Each issue so far has been a treat.

I really liked the first issue of Eyestrain as well--diverse interviews, beautiful layout and high-quality printing/binding. The all-caps text was my main complaint about this 'zine, but apparently even this minor flaw will be changed in future issues. Certainly an effort worth supporting... I'm interested to see where it goes.

Also, Music We Hate has released three issues so far. I appreciate its regional focus (mostly California stuff), its handmade aesthetic, as well as its regular publishing schedule. The ambitious third issue came with a couple of prints as well as a DVD-r of videos, in addition to the 'zine itself. I believe that the first three issues are now sold out, but some copies may still be in distros...

Shrouded Recordings 'Zine is a new effort from Oregon--new enough that I haven't read it yet! The first issue includes an interview with The Rita. Could be interesting...

Finally, not a new publication, but a project that may be of interest to those who care about older industrial/experimental 'zines: apparently there is a documentary series in the works based on Unsound magazine and the underground covered by that publication. You can find a (currently-underfunded) IndieGoGo page for this documentary project--including a series trailer--here.

Music We Hate is great, excited to get the latest issue. Glad someone close to the scenes out there is documenting the "hubs" in LA and Oakland for harsh noise and the nastier side of industrial music. Enjoyed the first Eystrain too, you can't go wrong getting Luke Tandy to contribute some art to the layout.

Next issue will feature Luke's great work again, although only throughout the interior. Another phenomenal coage artist will handle the covers and there might be a lil additional graphic work inside. I'm very excited.

Music We Hate...had not seen this before, but looks great! The hunt begins...

New Forces #3 was officially the issue that really grabbed me. Great interviews (sans Ramirez, but that's just personal taste...), tighter layout and cool features.

New Shocktilt issue should hit the market in early next year, heavy delayed but worth the long wait.

yay! is VOD every going to do the book compiling all the past stuff?

[FreakAnimalFinland]

I was mentioned that plan was cancelled.

[hkso]

Yeah the plan is to make two separate releases with the help from a swedish publishing house... first of all new issue and after that revised reprint of the first.
I have not worked so active with second issue, but done layout for maybe 60 pages so far. The parts remaining will be done once I find time. I have spent nearly nine years gathering material for it and can promise it will be superior to the first one. Shocktilt #2 will be worth waiting for. As soon as I have more information this will be first place I'll post it.

Yep!
Eyestrain #1 good. Some flaws of debut issue is present, like perhaps not acknowledging how much space to leave to "inner-margin" when doing this type of binding, and the all-caps one-column lay-out gets pretty heavy to read. But content itself is good. Unusual choices for interviews. Reviews what is mix of known & unknown. Not the safe choices, I'd say.

New Forces #3 is quite thin in content (compared to #1 and #2.. or is it just impression?). Macro Joe's top 100 noise takes quite a lot of space compared that you get the list basically in less than one page. Then re-typing it all again barely adds information, but takes several pages. Ramirez interview is quite old - his own audio monologue transcribed, but good nevertheless. Reviews, more reviews, top harsh noise lists, top wants of noise (haha!), decent interviews. Clearly FANZINE, in the most positive sense. You can feel the enthusiasm of noise fans here, and it can be better than cold and professional content.

Noise Receptor #2 was good again. Great concept, and feels like Eyestrain #1 was like american response for this. Both being couple interviews, several pages of artworks and reviews. NR goes more to industrial/ritual/power electronics realms.

Few more quite recent zines in reading-pile....

i finally signed up on this board and since i (totally to my happy surprise) saw my new zine mentioned i thought id at least direct y'all towards it:

shrouded recordings zine #1 can be found here:  https://sbtdoh.bandcamp.com/merch/shrouded-recordings-zine-1-002

it featured interviews with sam from the rita, etc and ted from negative paper assembly (I still have many copies, it comes with a double sided poster and other goodies)

this will be a quarterly zine. issue #2 will be out in January with interviews from Andrew from Column of Heaven, etc, etc and taylor from scream & write distro, etc, etc. the zine also features all cassette tape reviews of tapes from any time period.

also starting in early 2015 alongside the shrouded recordings zine will be the 'tape hoarder' zine which will be a zine all things cassette tapes.

i am looking for anyone who would be interested in participating in the tape hoarder zine. and am open to receiving anything that would like to be considered for print. I am not doing this to try to just get free stuff but if you have spent the time to make a cassette tape, I will happily consider it for review if I receive a copy. I am happy to do trades, etc. I have purchased ALL my tapes that I have reviewed so far, but my funds can only go so far and I can expand to include as many folks would like to see a review of their material in print.

i passionately want to keep physical media alive!

Thank you for the kind mention earlier in this post. Made me very happy. take care

Any have a French "Acephale" zine in PDF or scans?

[Deadpriest]

I have a copy of an Idwal Fisher zine from about 10 years ago if anyone wants to pay £8(?) plus the postage.

Does anyone know if there was ever an Eskhatos #3?

I've got #1 and #2, and in the editorial for #2 it announces a list of bands that will be in issue #3, but I've never seen #3.

I wasn't aware of that zine at the time it was operating but the issue 2 is downloadable on this site. The site is based in France yet there are foreign archives in it.

I don't think so. The only source remaining is probably this archive site mirrored from Geocities at the end of 2009.

I was given a small stack of old zines by a friend not too long ago, which happened to contain issues 18 and 21 of ND.
Holy shit, I'm still blown away by the content, and now I feel like I'm on a quest to read / acquire many more issues of ND. I assume eBay is my best bet but are there any other aftermarket places for zines like this?

Thanks in advance.
