FORMERLY KNOWN AS EMBALMED ZINE (CIRCA 1995)

Just how luck been striking me lately, I was fortunate enough to get atleast a photo copy of my old zine through my friend Johnny from the band SENTENSYA (death metal band from my hometown Lucena City, PHILIPPINES), there were only 5 or more copies I've provided to my local contacts as far as I can remember most of the prints were sent to my foreign contacts not exceeding 20 copies I think; also as mentioned in my earlier posts regarding history and how this shit got excremented. My years of searching finally reach an end, this is the only proof and memory I have from my early METAL works. Below is the cover of my zine's debut issue and a flyer/ad page of SENTENSYA's early demo material. EMBALMED SANCTORUM ZINE a typical DIY cut and paste, type-written, photo-copied, stapled zine from 1995-1998, completed 2 issues (2nd was not YET published/printed).

LAPSEDATES (SOME UPDATES)

I'm not sure if we can still label this entry as an update or what, this is just an attempt to see if this thing still works since being on almost a month of lay-off and no free connection available (wifi). You may think I've gone back to being a slacking off bastard well the truth is I've always been lazy and empty handed, well having said and done I got this thing grinding again. I've stacked up some words and compiled some sheer energy bursting stuffs on my mails lately that I'm rearing to share through this blog. I am going to be busy these coming days with my fingers (typing) and brains (rotting), I got a couple reviews and reports to share but let me do it one shit at a time....I'll be putting a review on a couple or a few materials (musick) on the next entry, promotional materials one from THEDOWNGOING Noise/Grind from Australia, my fellow Pinoy death metal hordes TOXEMIA, an old report/tribute blog from a pioneering hometown death metal band SENTENSYA and hopefully a show report on the upcoming MARDUK and IMMOLATION tour in Rome, IT (see a picture below from a poster I saw nearby). Some clippies and links for info below...
