Yeah, I know I'm slow but well with SWR BARROSELAS METALFEST 24 and VIII MASSACRE METAL FEST mini-zines out of the way, maybe I'll be a bit faster!! Or not, my call!!!

Here you have my blurred vision of the 1st day of the very nice Celestial Darkness Festival which happened in the beginning of March brought to us by the fine people of Cult Of Parthenope.

The good people of Cult of Parthenope , the guys behind Cosmic Void , decided to do a fest a bit more eclectic, and not so as much focused o...

After a calm December, concert-wise, January wasn’t too busy as well!! Only had a couple under surveillance and went to both!!! First, a ret...

There was an historical concert in London and as we are fans of both bands (one more than other but that doesn't matter now), we were present in the Paradise Lost and My Dying Bride concert at the O2 in Shepherd's Bush!! We had some fun, and I thought why not write about it??? So here it is!!!

Very special night this one, where we for the first time went to the O2 in Shepherd’s Bush to witness Paradise Lost’s 30 th anniversary of ...

26/12/2023

Yes, we went to another show and decided to talk about it!! Are we annoying or what?? Here's to an excellent night which Cult Of Parthenope provided by bringing Hulder, GROZA, The Infernal Sea & Stahlsarg to the Downstairs At The Dome!!!

US band Hulder was performing in Europe for the first time, and we were lucky that Cult Of Parthenope arranged for them to come to London,...

And here is the report for the second day of the Beyond The Grave Festival, a very long one which happened at The Black Heart and The Underworld Camden.. Lots of good bands which included some as Benediction, Seprevation, Symbtomy, Serrabulho, Cryptworm or Hour Of Penance among many, many others...

After a restful night, time for the second day of the festival which started really soon with Anakim, which I miss as I had some more famil...

So developments... I just got today from the print shop the SWR 23 fanzines for the SWR BARROSELAS METALFEST and also today I got the answers from the interview I've done with Mr Tom G Warrior from the mighty Triumph of Death.. So we thought what to do.. and here you have a 2-page pdf with it.. If interested, just print it and add it to the fanzine... If not, just keep it anyway...

Os nossos amigos do VII MASSACRE METAL FEST 2023 estão de volta com a sétima edição do festival mais pesado no concelho de Vila Franca de Xira (representado pelos conhecidos Taberna, de volta aos palcos depois de algum tempo sem o fazerem e pelos Last P**s Before Death)!!! Sempre a apostar em bons nomes da cena Portuguesa, como os experientes Dawnrider, ThrashWall ou Theriomorphic, ou os mais recentes Torn Fabriks (este vai ser mesmo o primeiro concerto desta banda) ou os Klatter este ano o certame traz como novidade uma banda de fora de Portugal, neste caso da nossa vizinha Espanha, os RANCOR Do Thrash ao Death Metal passando pelo Punk’n’Roll, vai haver de tudo para disfrutarem e claro, a sempre bem conhecida hospitalidade ribatejana!!! Por isso, aproveitem e vão dar um passinho de dança até A-dos-Loucos!!

Como habitual nos últimos anos, a Metal Horde Zine junta-se a estes nossos amigos e vamos preparar uma bela mini-zine para vocês poderem saber um pouco mais sobre quem vai pisar o palco da UDCA!!!

06/12/2022

Like I said in the post before this issue will bring an 8-page special which will be a normal feature after this one!! I will be presenting in those 8-pages in each issue a little bit of the Portuguese Metal history.. Will have bands, zines, radio-shows, releases, basically stuff which I will think fits the thing..

06/12/2022

Hey there kids!!! There's a new issue of Metal Horde Zine just going to the print shop!!! As we are celebrating our 15th anniversary, here you have the 29th issue, which brings 76 pages plus 8 more pages (which I will talk about in a different post)!!! This issue brings interviews with:

- Conviction - Doom Metal from France!!!
- ThrashWall - Thrash Metal from Portugal!!
- Evil Madness - Oficial - Thrash Metal from Chile!!
- In Grief - Death/Doom Metal from Italy!!
- Ensanguinate - Death Metal from Slovenia!!
- The Nightstalker - Gothic/Black Metal from Belgium and learn more about this project which also has a book, film and a RPG!!
- Old Temple - label from Poland!!
- Strangle Wire - Death Metal from the UK!!

Also you'll find a buck load of reviews on zines, cd's, tapes, vinyls and a live report on the SWR Feast!!! The cover on this issue was made by our friend Gareth Elliot!!!!

You know the drill, 2£ plus postage for the UK or the Rest of the world!! Ask for the postage fees!! People from outside the UK, if you want order 3 copies, the postage is the same as for 1, (so maybe you can do some business in your country or give it to your mates on their birthdays ahah)!!!

Malta de Portugal, em principio vao existir copias em Portugal na Bunker Store para a malta do Porto e arredores e irei ver se existe mais alguem interessado em arranjar uma copias para ter para distribuicao!!

2022 marks the 15th year anniversary of Metal Horde so we will try to do some cool stuff, at least release a couple more issues than usual!! And on that:

Issue 28 is out, packed with 80 pages in A5 layout, printed in recycled silk paper, English written, with plenty of reviews in music & zines and bringing interviews with:

- Halter Russia Death/Doom Metal
- All Against Portugal Thrash Metal
- JADE International Death/Doom Metal
- Sarkasm Canada Death/Thrash Metal
- Black Flare Portugal Heavy/Doom Metal
- Official Imago Mortis Italy Black Metal
- CogaS United Kingdom Death/Black Metal
- Nordicwinter Canada Black Metal
- FATAL Underground Fanzine Germany Fanzine
- SCORDATURA United Kingdom Death Metal

After some of my veteran (we are not old) clients complained I've increased the font size, and although still small, it's a bit bigger eheh!!!

All this can be yours in exchange of 3 pounds (with postage included), if you live in the UK and want to receive it in the comfort of your home.

If you want to receive it in hand, in one of the many concerts we will be attending in the next few months or in one of the cool places in Camden (yes, I'm talking about The Dev or The Black Heart), the price is 2 pounds!!

Cheaper than half a pint and an excellent toilet addition!!!

Before posting about the new issue of Metal Horde Zine, I wanted to address some logistic difficulties we are facing. As in other countries, postage prices went up and are a bit of an effort in a DIY publication like Metal Horde Zine, so that you are aware to send a copy of the fanzine to other European countries will cost 4.25 pounds, while 2 to 3 copies will cost 5.25 pounds. All this to say that we will try to find different solutions so that people that has followed us throughout the years, don't get burned because of prices.

Some of those solutions will be pass by sending a couple of issues together, instead of just one, or to send more than 1 copy of the zine, or to find a point of contact in the country to sell the zine, like we already did in Portugal. If anyone is interested, let me know and we can discuss that.

As for the first one, to anyone interested, you can request the reservation of issue 28 and I will ship it to you when the 29 is out (which will happen before May/June 2022 as it's already in the works) and for example in that case instead of paying twice 7 euros for each package you would pay 10 euros for both zines with postage included. You can choose to help us by paying in advance or just reserve and pay when the two issues are shipped to you, we are more than ok with both ways. Also to say that anyone that opts for this, will receive an extra item, which can be one other fanzine, cd's or tapes.

On the 2nd solution, if you want to grab a couple of copies (beside your own) of issue 28 to sell in your area, just let me know and we can think on something.

It was supposed to come out in the usual SWR BARROSELAS METALFEST special zine that we do every year but with the Covid-19 s**t storm postponing the festival, we decided to use it for our issue 27 of Metal Horde Zine!!! A nice conversation with the mighty Chris Reifert from the mighty Autopsy (Official)!!!

Issue 27 brings 68 pages A5 in silk recycled paper, filled with interviews and reviews!!!! You can have it for 2£ plus postage (outside of the UK it will be more or less 2$ or 2€ plus postage).

If you want to grab our issue 26, also with 68 pages A5, it's the same 2£/$/€ and the postage will be almost the same as for 1 zine.

If interested write to [email protected] or in our messenger or in my personal messenger Nuno Oliveira

Only paper is real and thanks for the support!!!!
