Zombie Ritual Fanzine 2 review

Underground metal fanzine from Mexico. A full page black and white print filled with interviews and reviews of some of the underground thrash, death, and black metal bands from Mexico and around the world. Only 1000 copies were printed. The writer and producer of the zine is Victor Varas. This  publication was made available in the early months of 2012. He also has the ongoing web version of Zombie Ritual Fanzine.

 Written mostly in Spanish, there are few reviews in English. The editorial describes the ups and downs he went through to accomplish issue two. Creating a total of 32 pages and having a few computer crashes that presented hurdles and finally being able to complete the task. By reading the entire zine you can tell he really has a passion for it. I enjoy the mix of interviews and reviews plus a few ads for other underground labels hosting a wide range of metal oriented materials. Some of my favorite interviews in this zine are Sectioned, Inhearted, Agony Lord, Strike Master, and most enjoyable read; interview with Ian Hill (Bass player Judas Priest). 

 The album reviews are well thought out and you can tell he spend time listening and investigating each band, giving reviews that are honest and in depth. There is also a section of Zine reviews from other parts of the world which he also wrote about even though some were not in English or Spanish he gave it his honest opinion regardless of the language. Not sure if there will be an issue three, but, I am certain the web based version continues daily so be sure to check that out. You can contact for more info at -info@zombieritualzine.com

Exclusive interview with Spektrvm

Image
Greetings and please give a warm welcome to Spektrvm 1- Hello and welcome to Metal Music Midwest, first off, thanks for taking the time to do the interview, could you give our readers a brief description of the group? Where is the band from? The music of Greek metal group Spektrvm (pronounced ‘Spectrum’) spreads wide across the chromatic political, religious and many other themes. We are 5 different people, with 5 different musical tastes, and that always makes it interesting to see where the mix of ideas and styles will take us.   2- "Blood For Heaven" is the band's first full album, how long did it take to write? Ideas for the album had been forming since the early days it was formed back in 2016, but when we actually decided to write songs and create an almost concept album, the first half took about a year to form, and the other 5 songs, a little less than that. The songs were being tweaked up until the day of their final recording in 2020. Some changes were even made...

Was there a point early in you life that sparked your interest? Well… once I thought it would be a great idea to have some new profile pictures. So I went out to a cemetery with a good friend of mine to make some photographs. I soon recognized that it was great fun to pose and to “play” with the scenery. That’s why I’ve registered myself in a German model community and soon I got some offers for shootings. And here we are!   Model: Nox Misery- Make up & Styling: Nox Misery- Photographer: Maschka- © Nox Misery, Maschka 2- Your style is in underground, goth, and metal, was there an event or moment that made you decide on this style?
