SEND BACK MY STAMPS!: EarlyDeathMetalZineGraveyard

[Batdog]

Alright, so i was bouncing around the Misery Index forums earlier today and found out about this epic site which features buttloads of scanned zines "from the 'golden age' of the late 80s, early 90s and beyond".

So much information so little time. Props to none other than Jason Netherton for coming up with such an amazing compilation.

SEND BACK MY STAMPS! is a site dedicated to reproducing interviews and ephemera from Fanzines produced in the early days of the death metal underground. This era was notable for its pre-internet production of DIY media, that followed the punk tradition born out of the 80s, and gave life and communication to a disparate, global fanbase within the then nascent death/black/grind underground. I will post as many interesting pieces as I can whenever I can, mostly stemming from the stacks of zines I collected from the 1989-1997 period, before the internet (mostly) killed the DIY print media underground. A lot of these Zines will fade into history and be forgotten, so here is a place to hopefully immortalize the endless hours of work that went into getting the death metal underground started in the glory days of yesteryear. Horns up! – Jason Netherton, 2010.

Been devouring this blog for quite sometime and failed to share it.


"Please return my stamps" was ALWAYS the parting words in letters back then.

Metal nostalgia.

sana magkaroon din ng ganitong site para sa mga local zines

Ngayon ko lang napagtanto, meron palang taong wala nang ibang sinabi kundi magyabang kung anong edition/first press yung kung ano mang "collection" nila (which I really doubt - although posting pics wouldn't impress me, either).

Ewan ko lang ha, iilan ding Train Sodomy at XXX-mas party naatendan ko, pero I don't ever recall the original and TR00 IDP Troops (or Hordes) having conversations about bragging what pressing or format they have of an album. Davah, DAVAH!!!

Maybe some people just really need to go out and have friends?
