Let's do a 'zine today, this one was sent by brother Wehrwolf, thanks alot of obliging me! Debut issue of the Australian 'zine Nefandus, released either in the end of 1995 or beginning of 1996, all interviews date to '95. Pdf-format, 54 xeroxed pages with primitive layout, totally unprofessional and underground look. The best type of 'zine! Most interviews are quite short but entertaining and I like their choice of bands even though certain ones are a bit repetitive if you've read a 'zine of the same era. I also prefer this editor's attitude over the snobby later 90's wanna-be "journalists" plaguing every other fancy printed arty "magazine" but enough outbursting, I like this and recommend it for others of similar mindset.

There is at least one issue more, see the flyer on the right side there, and I want it. If you have it, either scan it and get in touch with me or sell me the damn thing. Don't expect to cash in though, go to jewbay for that. Use the contact on the side of the blog and if there were further issues made after the second one I'd appreciate being informed of those and even more getting scans of them too, provided it didn't turn shit.

@Necrodictator:

I'm pretty sure I've seen 'em elsewhere too... or was it Libation I'm thinking about?

Anyways, you're welcome, it's a pretty cool 'zine overall, don't you think? I really want to see the second issue too.

Yes, Stregoica # 'zine features Libation interview. Both of those 'zines are really nicely done and both have cool design but I haven't checked most of interviews yet. Thanks a lot for your great work.
By the way would be great to see other 'zines featuring old Singaporean bands or even just Singaporean 'zines (like "Evil Rotting", "Living Dead"). Hopefully it will be possible sooner or later.

@Necrodictator:

Yeah, the Singaporean scene was quite interesting too and mostly pretty unknown territory for me so it'd be interesting to explore it further.
