Codex Obscurum arose in the 2010s to revive the utility and flavor of metal zines from the 1980s, but doing so in an internet age, chose to focus on selectivity over attempting to compete with the flood of raw (and mostly wrong) information. Now this zine is on its eighth issue and has featured most of the classic and new bands of stature which are active in the underground.
The eighth issue promises to have many new delights for the metal reader. According to the zine, this issue features:
- The art of NecroMogarip
- Blood Red Throne
- Noisem
- Zemial
- Castrator
- Blizzard
- Morgengrau
- Rawhide
- PanzerBastard
- The 3rd Attempt
- Skelethal
- Impenitent Thief
- …and many more…

Thanks for the word; my order is submitted! I wish I could find the 1-3 editions, though :(
I got mine in early August, so I think they are ready to just plain order rather than pre-order.
But to quote The Editor’s Desk” “Sorry it takes so long to get the zine out…we’re a bit lazy.”
Ha.
It’s not a “pre-order” anymore. I already have it (since one week). Great, as usual.
I could go without a Blood Red Throne interview.
