Rivethead Magazine

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, this was a regular metal magazine that you could get for free at record stores in Houston.

Every concert and new record release was in it. Not only that, but it covered ANUSian topics — much like the Metal AE — such as the history of metal, music theory, what defined metal, genrology, the spirit of metal and the clash between metal and the counter-culture as well as the pop-culture above it.

The website has a comprehensive archive of their late 1980s and early 1990s issues, which focus on a mixture of heavy metal, speed metal and the birthing of death metal. The approach is professional even if the methods are homebrew:

    Under “Likes”, Mastodon comes up first. Weird?

  2. Dominating Fucker says:

    @ Mastodon is the best

    Weird? Nah! There are too many faggots out there with half a brain and horrible taste in music. There’s an even larger population of retarded hipsters that accept cock in the ass with the same ease they’ll listen to hipster banal rock music! Take you for example: you obviously only seem able to copy-paste a link to “make a statment”, which comes through as lazy and moronic. You clearly are a clueless ignorant emo-fuckwad that will eventually come out of the closet as a homosexual hipster-onlythere-for late night sexual abuse asshole.

    How about if I break your fucking noodle neck and stick that mastodon cd up your fucking cunt huhh? Wouldn’t that “be the best” too, cocsucker fag??

    Sounds like fun. When can we get to this? Only fag would want to do this to another fag. ;)

    You can like Mastodon and at the same time recognize, through experience and meditation, that it’s inferior to other things, like Slayer.

    THE NEXT THOUSAND COCKS WILL RAIN ON THE GAPING ANUS OF A HIPSTER

    Did not the ancient Greeks kill billions by phallic impalement?

  6. Dominating Fucker says:

    Let me tell you more about my boring opinions of Mastodon, better yet, let me tell you how much I’d love a big hard mast up my ass. Ooo! Your ivory leg is what propels me! Harder!!!

  7. Levy_Spearmen says:

    You can try to be sneaky, but that is certainly not Dominating Fucker.

    stop it all of you, or behold the wrath of my tiny fists! i mean it… my tiny feet can also kick really hard!

  9. metal warriors despise posers says:

    “They do nothing for me. I fell in love with metal since the day it was spawned and have had my life revolve around it like an obsession. These fucking people, who created amazing metal and then took it so lightly, walked away from it, talked shit about it… Or praise all these other non metal things are these impressive influences…all those fucking faggots can eat shit.”

    “non-metal things”

    What’s so bad about this? This is a really lazy thought process and it’s no better than saying “non-pop related music is weird and horrible”.

    There’s a lot of metal that deserves respect but there’s probably a lot more great jazz, folk, classical, lots of shit

    Tom Stevens can take his transparent “purist” persona and gently caress himself with it

    Jazz is background music at best.

  12. 8===> says:

    There’s more soul and skill in 5 seconds of an Eric Dolphy tune than all your blakk metul albums combined, child

  13. child says:

    There’s more soul in you masturbating to tranny porn than any shit Eric Dolphy ever did.

  16. Jehovah says:

    Rip the sacred flesh
    Sodomize the holy asshole
    Drink the red blood of the mother of earth
    Masturbation on the dead body of christ
    The king of Jews is dead
    and so are the lies
    Vomit on the host of Heaven
    Masturbate on the throne of God
    Break the seals of angels
    Drink the sweet blood of Christ
    Taste the flesh of the priest
    Sodomize holy nuns
    The king of Jews is a liar
    The Heavens will burn
    Dethrone the son of God
    God is dead
    Holyness is gone
    Purity is gone
    Prayers are burned
    Covered in black shit
    Rape the holy ghost
    Unclean birth of Jesus Christ
    Heaven will fall
    Fuck the church
    Fuck Christ
    Fuck the Virgin
    Fuck the gods of Heaven
    Fuck the name of Jesus

    Paul Ledney’s blasphemy is in fact a PROOF of God’s existence. It is purposeless to attack something unreal for so many years. Either God exists and that’s the reason to blaspheme Him – if we are on the evil/opposite side of course – or Ledney just makes a cheap theater to gain useless underground “cult” status. Either Christ is Love or Ledney is just another post-modern dramatic blabber /attention w**re/.

  18. a 12 year old boy could have figured this out too, you fucking moron says:

    The reason to blaspheme is to show that god is powerless and useless. If he is powerless and useless then he is not the god described in the bible. So it’s perfectly fine to believe the christian god doesn’t exist and at the same time blaspheme against him. In fact this form of blaspheming is a confirmation that the judeo-christian god doesn’t exist.

    And to be antichristian doesn’t necessarily mean one is a satanist. An antichristian can have any non-christian religion or simply be an atheist.

  19. hey, where's my IQ? says:

    God could be “powerless and useless”? In black metal lyrics and cover art – yes, but in REALITY…
    Maybe you should ask the Muslims about that. :)

    In black metal lyrics and cover art – MAYBE, but in REALITY…
