Initium Zine 1988-1995

07/02/2023

Before the band got named NO RETURN, they first existed under the name EVIL POWER and EVIL POWER was one of the very first bands i contacted to be part of the Initium Zine adventure ...
Today is a sad day as I learn the death of bassist Laurent Jamaut (who was active with the band from 1984 to 1997) .. :-/
RIP Laurent, way too young to go...
My condolences to the band, family & friends...

Thrash Records ... THAT label really got me into the underground scene and gave me the will to start my own label some years later... They were an essential label - back in the days when there was no internet, they were with JUNGLE HOP Records, my sources of supply for Thrash, Death, Hard-core .. I discovered TONS & TONS of killer bands ! Oh those were the days !
Like their page & find here alot of info !!
