Morbid Scriptorium: A Museum of Metal Zines
In order to establish a solid, even scientifical basis for the study and appreciation of Death Metal, we are collecting and digitizing diverse materials related to Death Metal history, such as zines, flyers and demo covers. The death metal zine reference center and the death metal art repository are at your disposal. If you appreciate the contents of these archives, please get in touch and contribute something from your own collections in order to preserve memory, information and knowledge and to save these rare gems from being buried by the sands of time: The Past is Alive. We also would like all our noble readers to stay active in their own productive manner and through their contacts spreading the word about all these projects, archives and analyses which ultimately achieve their meaning by the responsive awareness of the intelligent observers somewhere out there, who prowl as wolves among the sheep. Here are some Death Metal related flyers, links and banners you can spread like the plague in order for our hordes and communication networks to grow towards world domination and eternal victory.
Once again: National Day of Slayer!
Originally inspired by the National Day of Prayer that religious groups
created to draw attention to their beliefs, the National Day of Slayer
was thought to be a holiday on June 6, 2006 — that’s 6/6/06 — but now
it has grown.

Thanks to support and enjoyment around the world, the National Day of
Slayer is now the INTER-National Day of Slayer, and it happens every
year on June 6 starting at hour six. On this day, metalheads worldwide
stop the pointless activities of a boring world and listen to Slayer.
International Day of Slayer is bigger than one nation, or even one band.
It’s a celebration of metal music through one of its most articulate
spokesbands. It’s also revelry in the spirit that makes metal great. So
on June 6, stop everything… and listen to SLAYER!

All right, we can all admit that Slayer is not what they used to be. Yet, there is something very difficult to describe, pleasurable and fascinating, proved by each one of their live performances (I dare you name another band that still gets the kids and the old scenesters alike to do this), an unbending spirit to show death and madness in their true nature, through musical abomination based on British punk and British metal, forever.
Why a National Day of Slayer, since we worship Slayer every day? Because according to the laws of magic, intent and the energetic mass created by all metalheads preparing for headbanging and evil upon this day will cause very special things to happen. Take it as a psychic experiment (once again)!
Directing Power Forcibly
The Fire Of Hell Is Cast
Resurrect From Crypts Of Death
A Demon From The Past
Great idea, like those tshirts that used to say “Drunks Against Madd Mothers”
