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.
Voivod returns with one final tachyon bomb + tour
Voivod’s bloody history from early Canadian barbaric speed/thrash to progressive metal structures and later to progressive rock is probably familiar to any true metalhead. Few musicians’ deaths have caused such an unanimous burst of grievances as when Voivod’s Piggy in 2005 succumbed to cancer which is weirdly appropriate for a person who seemed to be able to conjure genetic mutations simply by his tormented guitar composition. His final home recordings have been preserved by his bandmates and post-produced into a complete album, which shall be the final Voivod document.
Infini was built from the final songs created by the band with Piggy. There were many discussions and ideas as to how to complete these recordings of songs that had never been actually performed with the whole band in one room. All of his original demo guitar tracks appear as they were recorded, no re-amping, no overdubs, just Piggy as he played the tracks he envisioned in his small bachelor apartment, the amp in the bathroom, capturing his performance with the laptop given to him by Jason Newsted.
Additionally, the world has one of the last chances now to see these robotic devastators on tour, performing material from the first 10 years of their discography with original bassist Blacky and guitarist Dan Mongrain (Martyr, Gorguts, Cryptopsy) completing the lineup.
