Another contribution, this one was sent by comrade Kurgan and originally scanned by Vlad/Arma Satanica - thank you! 666 was a French black metal fanzine made by Sad and Spica who used to be members of S.V.E.S.T. and Cantus Bestiae together and individually were/are involved with a number of bands like Asmodee, Chemin de Haine and Drastus. A couple of features are taken from elsewhere but most is made by the two.
The foreword sets up a lofty goal for our authors, unfortunately they are only partially successful as this issue (like most first ones do) has a number of flaws and many of the interviews end up more shallow than the editors hoped for. This is natural and happens with every 'zine. However, some of the interviews are very informative, entertaining or both. I'd mention as highlights the interviews with Nachtkaiser, Altar of Perversion, Katharsis and Nåstrond. As for the flaws, they go a bit overboard experimenting with different fonts which combined with the uneven copy quality makes some parts barely readable. Next and much more annoying is having a few interviews/articles written in French. I'm strongly against mixing languages in one 'zine, it should be English OR your language (whatever it might be) not a combination of both. But enough of my rantings, you'll want to read this if you're into underground black metal.

Shame, how embarassing to read the shitty article that I wrote back in 1999!

You must be referring to the Lucifer-Pentagram-Cabbala bit there? C'mon it wasn't that bad, don't be too hard on your past self! ;)
Hi man.
I don't know who's the "Kurgan" mentioned in this post, but the credit given to him is false. It's me who scanned this zine originally and I can prove it. This is not much of an issue for me, but I'd like to have things set staight.

@SP/Vlad:
Thank you for the information, I've edited the text now. I unfortunately have to work with what information I am given. I presume the 2nd issue of 666 was scanned by you as well?
Thanks for the correction. Yes, I've scanned 666 #2 as well.
