Zines worth checking out?

Reign in Acai · January 25th, 2006, 05:47 PM

Can anybody recommend some good zines. newsletters, full on mags that are actually worth the time to read? I currently am subscribed to Unrestrained and it has turned into utter shit. It's like a fucking smorsgasboard of metalcore worship. Not too mention that they promised 2 free cd's per issue, and then stopped that deal after 1 issue in. So yea anything along the lines of Convivial Hermit, or Decadent's "Northern Shadows" would be what I'm looking for.

Gratsy

Indeed. Light years above every other publication out there. There's only 2 damn issues though. And the first one is out of print. Do you have any word on a new issue?

They say on their site that #5 is coming soon.

I was about to recommend Convivial Hermit but I see it's been discussed already.

Anyway, Convivial Hermit is my contribution to this thread.

[EDIT] I've mailed Yury yesterday and asked how it looks with the next issue, I expect to inform you in a couple days...
